9/16/12

Today was a pretty fun day for us! The morning started off pretty standard. Olivia slept with me last night…I wanted to make sure neither of them would wake the other after our late night last night, and that’s the way we do it in our house. She’s never actually asked to sleep in our bed/sleep with us, so we’re not too worried about any repercussions from it.

We had some breakfast and then started getting ready for the day. Once showered, bathed and ready to go, we were off to the Renaissance Festival for the day. Such a BEAUTIFUL day for it too, we really lucked out. The girls are still both free, and I scored us some cheap Buy One Get One, at a discounted rate, tickets a few weeks ago, so it was a pretty cheap day out for us in the end. The girls shared a lunch, we each just had a burger, we got them each a little balloon animal, watched some shows, visited the mermaids, made some magic wands, hung out in the petting zoo, rode the butterflies and went on an Elephant ride. The girls were EXHAUSTED, but had a blast. It was such a great day to be outside, and it’s always so fun taking in the festival. Great day!

The girls immediately fell asleep in the car, and went right down for a VERY late nap when we got home. I had recorded today’s football game, so Christian and I had a drink and watched the game (unfortunately, the Vikings lost…boo). The girls were STILL asleep, at 6:30, so we woke them up, had a delicious taco dinner and hung out for a while. I finally put Amelia down to bed around 8:30. Olivia and I had our Sunday sundae and we watched some TV for a while. Amelia was still awake when we went to put Olivia to bed, so she went in our bed to fall asleep. Tricky girl!

Another great weekend comes to an end. Not ready to start the week at all! Here are some pictures from our visit to the Renaissance Festival…
