Today is one of those days that I feel blessed beyond belief. I spent the day in the sun with Olivia, Jenn and Brenna at Portage Lake. Olivia and Brenna were angels at the lake. On the way home, I got a little lost and ended up spending an extra hour in the car, but it was okay because Olivia napped the whole time. When we got home we decided we would unpack the car and head out back for some pool time. I was seeing how much fun Olivia was having, so I told Jenn she should come on over with brenna. We ended up having a BBQ and watching Olivia and Brenna swim, run around the yard, blow bubbles and spend an hour or so just playing at the sand table. Those two girls are getting to be really great friends....they were so well behaved together today, it was great! At one point the four adults were sitting around the kiddie pool with our feet in the water and none of us had a child attached to us......we couldn't believe it...then derek held abbie while matt and I ate dinner...it really was a great night!
Somehow it gets even better. After baths, it was time for our night time routine..Olivia and Matt lay together on the floor and I give abbie her bed time bottle. Olivia lays on the ground and says, "daddy, you want to lay with me?" Like he could actually say no to that...then it's, "daddy, you got your blankie? daddy, you got your pillow? it's night time...love you daddy" I swear it is the cutest thing you could ever imagine. I was in the girls' room putting abbie to sleep....when I put abbie in her crib, she opened her eyes just enough to smile at me before I left the room. Then i came to the living room where matt was already passed out and Liv said, "mommy, will you lay with me?" She lasted one more minute and now the two of them are sound asleep next to each other and I'm going to finish the last fifteen minute of the Bachlorette I missed from last night.
Who wouldn't sleep tight after a day/night like that??
