Five on Friday

These are my favorite because I don't have to follow any one subject and I can ramble. I love to ramble.

1. Coloring in the lines isn't even close to something we will work on with Olivia, we need to start with 'staying on the paper.' She tends to color with crayons all over the place. Especially behind her. So I bought a disposable plastic table cloth for her to color on. We spread it out, dump the crayons and no longer panic about our floors or tables. Since her attention span is .01 seconds, we fold it back up and bring it out next time.

Anyone else still wearing their Christmas jammies?

2. Olivia has figured out the camera. She likes to sit in front of it to have her picture taken. Then come see the picture of 'baby Olivia' on the screen. Since Ms. Impatient doesn't wait  two seconds for the phone to actually take the picture before getting up to see 'baby Olivia' - this is how our pictures look these days. Thanks chicka.

This is her accessorizing her PJs. I have no control.

3. After the 'tights as pants' incident of 2014, I pick out Olivia's clothes for Dan to dress her in the morning. I pick out the whole week at once. Apparently Olivia pulled the pile down and Dan couldn't figure out how the outfits went back together. So this was what she was wearing the other day to daycare.


I walked in and the lady said "ohhh, you aren't going to like her outfit today." Bhahaha. They know me too well. 

4. These pictures were taken a few months apart, but I'm just getting around to downloading them. Olivia with a picture of me as a baby:


And Olivia with a picture of Dan as a baby:


What do yall think? I'm thinking she's starting to look more and more like Dan. But when I compare baby pictures, I might win here.

5. Last weekend we had a fire in our fire pit and some champagne. In our sweat pants. It was magical.  



When Olivia heard about the fire pit, she decided to BYOB.


No joke though, she took these out of the cooler, loaded them up in her chair and pushed them out toward the fire pit. 

No fire pit is complete with out smores. And a little smores plate theif!




If we don't get abolished by winter storm lola - we'll do it again this weekend.

I went to the store to buy eggs and milk just in case all those crazy people who stock up on eggs and milk made a mad rush on Harris Teeter and they were out. Those crazy people ... 

Happy Friday. Finallllllly.

  3. You guys know how to have a bonfire!! That s'more plate looks amazing. I laughed when I saw Olivia's mismatched outfit. My hubby does the same thing. He's a smart guy, but I guess baby clothes matching is like rocket science to him.

    1. Hahaha - why is that with guys? Dan can usually dress himself fine. But girl colors are overwhelming I guess.

  4. Fire pit and champagne? Sounds fab!! I think that Olivia looks just like you when you were a baby, but for the most part she looks like your husband. Her mismatched outfit is amazing too haha. I hope that you have a great weekend!! :-)

  5. That is just flat-out genius using the chair as a stroller! She knew she couldn't carry all of them!

  6. I found your blog because a blog I read mentioined one of your posts. I'm so glad I decided to visit. You are seriously cracking me up. Baby girl already knows when a fire pit is involved that beer is involved. Already so smart! Seriously Dan, does that EVEN look like that goes together. At least we all get a laugh at his expense. Following now for sure!

    1. You are too sweet! I really wish I had a picture of the pants as tights day - I was too shocked to do anything but put pants on her. :)

  7. The sheet is genius! And we wear Christmas Jammies year round! Olivia is pretty hilarious with the chair and the beer! The outfit is too much! I love that the lady at daycare knew it wasn't going to fly! I really think she looks like you with a little bit of Dan in the eyes.

    1. At least the ladies at daycare know that Dan dresses her. And I think i can't decide because Dan and I don't have any distinguishing features. We kinda look alike. Maybe that's why it's hard for me to figure out who she looks like. Or maybe she's just her own person!
