Five on Friday

1. Next weekend is my friend's bachelorette party. I was so excited, I booked my flight for this weekend. Luckily, for an exorbitant fee, US Air can be very accommodating.

I'm a glass half full kind of girl - bright side? I didn't show up in AC by myself today. Could you imagine?

I texted her last week - "see you in a weeeeeek!" 
"You mean in two weeks right? That'd be a serious case of mom brain. Hahahaha." 
"Ffff"

2. Dan's grandfather found a doll named Olivia - that has blue eyes and brown hair, like when Olivia was born. It was such a sweet present and Olivia loves to play with it. But, the doll looks so real, and we've seen too many horror movies to not have a little fun with it once Olivia goes to bed.

It started with Dan putting the doll in my bed - so when I went to undo the covers, there she was, staring at me. So my mom put it on the wall of the man cave looking down into the living room. So we looked up and saw the doll staring at us.

Then I had the doll wearing my mom's camera strap and holding the camera.

My dad put the doll next to my mom in bed. She didn't notice until she rolled over in the middle of the night.

Assuming I was the one who put it in the bed, my mom put it in my carseat.

I moved it to Dan's carseat.

Dan set it on the front porch, rang the doorbell for my parents, and drove off.

Be careful if you come over. We have a weird sense of humor.

3. We got this at the end of the summer session from daycare. It was so sweet of her teachers to make it - I cherish everything with her little foot or handprints. BUT.

I just can't help but laugh. "Sweet summertime" and my cold natured babe is in a snowsuit and fur boots.

4. Olivia has never loved any stuffed animals. My parents gave her my old lamb "lambie" (original name, I know). She lit up! She loves lambie so much. She gives him kisses and huge smiles and loves to hold him. I think it is so funny that we have tried so many stuffed animals and the one she likes was mine when I was little.

5. She's walking!! I'll get a better video - we only have one of her taking a few steps. Still not walking everywhere. Just to us - or furniture that she knows she can walk to. But it won't be long!
