The last days of January

Hoping for a better start for a new month! Spent the last week passing around a cold and Olivia had an ear infection. So stuck at home not feeling well all week. Olivia did go to school today for the first time in a week! She acted ready to go but when Daddy dropped her off she cried and didn't want to stay. She was worn out when I picked her up so we skipped our weekly Texas Roadhouse family night and ate in. A bit of motrin, amoxicillin and spagetti and she was acting much better. We spent our evening playing Mario Party on the Wii. She was excited tonight we finally opened the Bowser board so I imagine tomorrow during our "snow or ice" storm that should be coming we will again be playing Wii. Tonight everytime she won on Wii she yelled "rock on" She comes up with the best lines!

Olivia has a bilateral ear infection :(  she is definitely not feeling good. She was sitting watching tv with her one arm out of her nightgown, I asked why her arm was out of her nightgown, she replied "it's my gymboree style"

January 25 and 26

Olivia not feeling so hot right now. She has been coughing and now has a fever :( off to the doctor tomorrow. We have been home having quiet time and of course playing more Wii and "camp out". Today we were cleaning up the living room and I asked her to put something in the kitchen for me, she replied "I'm on it mom" She is so funny even when is not feeling good!

Today is the Disney on Ice, Princess show. We have been waiting and waiting for. Our friends Karla and John Thomas are headed over to join us. We also have had snow all day, looks like about 5 inches so far so the ride to The Nationwide Arena should be a treat. Daddy decided to play driver so we get dropped off at the door tonight. We made it to the show! Olivia and John Thomas had a great time including popcorn, snowcones and cotton candy, followed by light up swords and butterflys! Pictures to follow!

Today we headed out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse. We go on Mondays to see Andy the Armadillo, hit the craft table and get balloons from Charlie the balloon guy. Tonight our friends Barbie and Arnav joined us. Olivia and Arnav picked out silly eye balloons from Charlie. They had fun using them sword fighting. Olivia loves Monday nights at Texas Roadhouse!

Today we used Olivia's new Easy Bake oven. We made a yellow cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. Olivia decided to open the sprinkles herself..... she of course pulled off the lid and the entire bottle of sprinkles flew all over the kitchen :( so much fun!

Today was Olivia's first Basketball game. We attended the OSU vs Penn State game. OSU won but Olivia was much more interested in Brutus, the cheerleaders and cotton candy! As she says it, "we went to a Buckeye party"
