There's no place like home in the rain puddles!





**DISCLAIMER** I AM NOT SURE HOW TO ARRANGE MY PHOTOS IN THE ORDER I WANT THEM JUST YET, SO THESE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

Tuesday was a fun day for Olivia. Jackson and Eli came over for a couple of hours to play. Their mommy had a couple of appointments to go to so we got to keep the boys. Olivia just loves other children and Jackson is no exception. The last time he came over Olivia hugged and kissed on him, but he wasn't too sure about her. He was a little better this time and played along with her. I got him to tickle her whenever she started loving on him! She absolutely loved Eli!! Baby! Baby! She couldn't keep her hands off of him. I wish I had gotten pictures of that!!
Uncle Trey came over on Thursday and hung out. He sat with Olivia for a long time reading her a book, over and over again. I was cleaning out Olivia's closet and came across her cousin Kaelyn's "dorothy" shoes, that we were given, you know the red sparkly ones she clicks the heels together and says, "there's no place like home" THOSE shoes!! So Uncle Trey put them on her and she was showing them off. They are still a little bit but Olivia didn't care at all. It had rained off and on that day so late that afternoon we got her rain boots out and went walking in the puddles. She loved it and had a blast. Her clothes were soaked when we got home, but who cares??!?! It was fun! Later that night, I attempted to make rice krispie treats for the very first time. It was so messy, but they turned out great!! Olivia and Daddy really liked them.
Friday afternoon Olivia scratched her leg up pretty badly on something. I was in the kitchen cooking and she was in the living room playing and next thing I know she is running to the kitchen crying. I am still not sure what got her but it looks worse than it actually is. She is fine. I wondered about when she would get in the bathtub if it would hurt or sting but she didn't even notice it!!
I am praying that church goes okay tomorrow. I am involved in the worship team and I am either playing tambourine during praise and worship or I am singing on the worship team. I switch and do each thing every other Sunday. Olivia is having a hard time when I can't hold her during worship. She has been crying during worship the last month or so and it makes it really hard for me to do my "job" I am hoping it is just a stage since I have been doing this since before she was born so she should be used to it!!
She is so cute these days though. The other day I told her, "Olivia, let's go take a bath!"
"okay mommy" she replied and we both take off walking down the hall...well I was walking she was running. Being the normal multi-tasker each mommy is, I stopped in the middle of the hallway to pick something up and she runs right into the back of my legs. I pat her head and make sure she is ok and keep going and as I get into the bathroom I hear her say, " I sowwy Mommy, I sowwy" AWWW how cute is that? I immediately had to call mammaw (My momma) and tell her how cute Olivia is. She just melts my heart...most of the time!!
