Spring Fever

First off we started the weekend with Friday night playing in the playroom. Olivia got a little crazy with the markers and next thing you know its looking a little like war paint all over her face. The best part was then she went over and started beating on the drums and yelling something. So she was fired up about something and just having a great time.
Saturday was great - the weather just a little bit warms up and we Calgarians are out side getting all we can of what may or may not be spring. Olivia was out there too and mommy and daddy were putting together all kinds of outside toys. What fun!!!

We bought the PINK AND PURPLE (can you believe it) little playhouse. Olivia just absolutely loves it. It comes with a real working doorbell!!
The table and chairs add a extra little ambiance and Olivia is ready for entertaining. Even making sure things are cleaned up with her little broom in hand.

After all that work, it was snack time. So, Olivia decided to get it for herself and of course share a little with Rascal. He loves that!
Some for me, some for you.
And, well that pretty much sums up the weekend. Lots of outside time. It was great and Olivia is all tuckered out. It seems Stephanie was right, as soon as they understand outside, thats the only thing they want to do - go outside!

Happy Easter

This weekend we spent down in Fort Macleod. We had a really good time with Ian's family. At some point we were all there minus Kalen and she was missed. But we did have a really good time. Olivia played and played and was just so busy.

In this picture, she was wiped out even before we got there - the car trip put her right to sleep. And of course, we couldn't leave "Baby" and "Mr. Monkey" behind - they helped with sleeping arrangements.
Grandma and Papa even set up a little toy kitchen for Olivia in the basement, filled with little cups and saucers. She really enjoyed making tea for us all in the microwave.
Then we played outside a little - as you can see - and Olivia decided to share her snacks with Rascal.
We decided to get some use out of that Halloween Costume of Olivia's and surprise Grandma and Papa with a little bunny of our own. Of course the other Easter Bunny arrived with eggs filled with goldfish crackers and teddy grahms, stuffed bunnies, little people toys and all.
Olivia loved looking for the eggs with the help from Daddy and Rascal. But it was tiring and a lot of hard work for our little bunny.

Then we got all dolled up for church and a family portrait - finally - when we all looked good and pulled together.
We had a great weekend. It was fun and totally exhausting. Olivia was already in bed tonight at 6:30 and I have to say, I don't think we will be far behind!

Again, Happy Easter and Happy Spring!!! YEAH!!!
