Hammer Daddy's house!

Ollie must have seen daddy fix some of the shingles last weekend because he thought he needed to hammer on daddy's house tonight.

He got real brave and wanted to get way up high!

Rainy Sunday

This morning my friend Becky and I took Ollie and Katherine up to the mall to go for a walk and then to play in the play area. We thought it would wear them out but it just made them more hyper. They were being little stinkers to each other and the other kids so we only stayed about 45 min.
After the mall, it was time for lunch and a nap. After that we went outside and helped daddy clean out the cars. They both needed to be vacuumed. Then we played in Katherine's driveway until dinner time. We had a pretty fun day despite the rain!

Saturday!

This morning we woke up and went to some garage sales. Ollie did really well so we went to McDonald's for lunch. We went to the one with the BIG play area inside. After we ate Ollie got to play!
Ollie played for at least an hour. He had such a good time and guess what?? Maggie and Samantha showed up too! How fun!
After Ollie's nap, he helped Daddy cut the grass! Notice the lawn mower bags in the trunk of his truck - he really thinks he is something with those bags on his truck!
When they were finished cutting the grass they just drove their lawn mowers together. They looked like they were practicing to be shriners! Around and around they went!

Baby Grass!

Look at our grass!!! It has only been 2 weeks since Chris planted it and it is already more green than brown. Yippee!! No more ugly blue tarp!
Ollie has to load up his truck to take it to the sandbox park across the bike trail. Then when he gets over there and starts playing he has to run back home at least 2 or 3 times to bring more toys over. Then when it is time to go home we put everything back in his truck and I have to carry his lawn mower and scooter back home. Silly! He can't possibly just play with his sand toys at the park!

What a week!

There has not been a lot of time for me to take pictures and post a blog so I will just tell you what has been going on. Chris left on Monday morning for meetings in WI and will not be back until tomorrow evening. So early Monday morning we woke up threw on some clothes and hopped in the car to take Daddy to the airport. Ollie had a break down because he wanted to go on the airplane too! Poor buddy! So that started our day off bad and he was a pain the rest of the morning. He did not want to get back in his seat to go to the sitter's then he didn't want to get out of his seat when we got there. Of course not! Tuesday was not so bad; Aunt Erin picked Ollie up after work unexpectedly and then we all went out to eat. Dad stayed after work to fix Erin's yard so we went out for Mexican then to Fritz' because Ollie wanted a baby cone - you know he always gets what he wants!
Wednesday, the sitter called me at 11:15 and told me that she just didn't think it was going to work out. Great, now we have to find another babysitter by the first of Oct! Bad timing, I will be out of town for work the 22-26 then again the 6-10 so I need to find somewhere for him to start the week of the 29th so that I am home when he makes the change. Poor buddy, why doesn't anyone like watching you but me?? You can be so sweet but you definitely have your terrible two's moments too!
Today was pretty uneventful, thank goodness! I did go check out a daycare during my lunch hour that looks promising and I spoke to a friend who will be moving up the street this month. We will see. Whatever happens should be for the best and hopefully I will not have to look for another sitter anytime soon!
