Helping Around the House

Olivia helped unload groceries and put the dishes away tonight...or rather she unloaded the cabinets for us.

Olivia's First Halloween

Olivia was a ladybug for Halloween this week. She passed out candy rather than going trick or treating. She had a good time and wasn't scared of anyone. Her cousin Morgan was a Care Bear.

Carving Pumpkins with Daddy

Jason and Olivia carved a pumpkin, just her size, the night before Halloween. She was more interested in putting the top in her mouth and trying to eat the seeds. She also really liked the paper it was sitting on. After carving the pumpkin Jason put it in her room with a candle inside it, thinking that she might like that in the dark, but a few minutes later we started to smell something burning and we went into her room and the top of the pumpkin had a black spot on it. Thanks goodness we didn't let it go any longer!!!

Aunt Heather's Visit

Aunt Heather was here a week ago. She watched Olivia a few days and they had a great time. They took walks to the park to swing, watched TV, napped together, and played all day. Aunt Heather was able to keep up with her. Although, at the end of her trip Olivia got a high fever and we had our first visit to the ER. The last time Heather was here we all ended up at the hospital too...but that time it was for the arrival of Olivia. Everything ended up being okay though and Olivia is getting better.

Getting Ready for Winter

This is the first hat we bought Olivia for winter. She didn't like it at first, but she is getting use to it. We haven't tried the mittens yet. I'm sure that will be a battle too!
