How is she feeling?

Not even close to this good...ha. I crack myself up.

I just got this photo from Nicole (http://www.nicolevancephotography/) and I had to post it, I am madly in love with it. I love the glare of the sun, I love how happy and carefree she looks, very 3 year old like I think. And I like to remember her being healthy and happy like this when she is sick, sick, sick. Speaking of sick, she is feeling MUCH better, and acting like her bratty, bossy, charming self. We have to keep her quiet, so she gets frustrated watching everyone else play outside and she is confined to the stroller or Avery's little riding car. And lets just say when Brad got home today I am not sure who was more excited to see him and likely for the same reason, Olivia and I had both had enough of each other...

I just sent off Olivia's 3rd Birthday Invitation to be printed, I am so very excited about her party this year, mostly because she can't stop talking about it, she is obsessed with it. Everyday she says something like "I want lots of juice at my party" or today it was "I want a tree house at my party", first of all, I had no idea she knew what a tree house was...but I hate to break it to her, there will NOT be a tree house at her party. I have some of the paper products on the dining room table and she likes to go in there and talk about her party, she sets up some napkins and plates on the floor and says she is getting ready to serve the cake. Then of course I like to tease her about how she cries when people sing Happy Birthday and she continues to tell me that she isn't going to cry at her party when people sing to her, so we have a bet going, I don't have to pay for her college tuition if she cries and if she doesn't cry, I have to pay...I am betting the child will be working nights to put herself through school...of course I am totally kidding, not about the bet, but about the stakes...we really do have a bet going, and we even shook on it, she looked at me like I was crazy, it was quite comical.

Now on to snotface Avery, today was Day Two in her new classroom and she cried her little face off this morning when I dropped her off, I felt so bad for her, she never cries when we take her to school, she loves school, and this afternoon when I picked her up she was so stinkin cute, she ran across the outside play area to me with arms wide open. I know the little darling will get used to it, but watching her (Olivia too) deal with change can be a heart wrentching process.

Another day at home for Olivia and I tomorrow and then Brad will be home with her on Thursday, and then Friday Morning Brad and the girls will pack up and head to Bassett for the weekend while I head North.
