Friday evening...

Late this afternoon, I took Ollie up to the mall to play. It was just too hot to play outside. He loves this little blue car they have and he thinks it is his. We had to leave after about 30 minutes of playing because he bit a little girl who was trying to drive in the car with him. What a stinker!

Then we went to Maw Maw's house and she got out a little bucket of water for Ollie to play with.
Well, Ollie does not like for his clothes to be wet so everytime something got wet he would take it off.

Until there was nothing left to take off and he refused to put anything on.

Ollie then decided that he wanted to play in Maw Maw's bath tub so he did that while I ran to Aunt Erin's to pick up a movie. When I got back they were laying on the floor in Ollie's room with lots of blankets watching Scooby Doo. I told Ollie that it was time to go home but he wanted to stay at Maw Maw's house. We will see if he makes it all night! I'll let you know tomorrow....

New Camera!

Today we had a very busy morning, after breakfast we went to visit Papa at work. It was "ride ride" heaven for Ollie. He got to sit on the biggest lawn mowers ever! He had a great time but Papa had to get back to work so we moved on. After Papa's work we went to Target and bought a new camera (we cannot be cameraless for Ollie's birthday weekend!), then on to Sam's to meet Chris and we bought some food for Ollie's party this weekend - I can't believe he is going to be two already!! Then Daddy had to get back to work so we went to Valvoline for an Oil Change - I immediately took my camera out to set it up while we were getting our oil changed. Then home to unload the car. By this time it was lunch time and we met Papa up at Cecil's for lunch.
After lunch we stopped by Papa's work again to get some pics on the "ride rides" but there were only a few there. The big one was out mowing grass somewhere but we still got some good pics.
Ollie always wants Papa to sit next to him and buckle his seat belt - by the time Papa gets his belt buckled it is time to move on to another ride ride!


I just love my new camera - I am completely addicted to this blog - I don't know what I would do if I couldn't take pics of my boy!

To the Zoo!!

What no pictures???!!! Well yesterday I took Ollie to the zoo with Aunt Erin and Allison (her little sister from Big Bros Big Sisters). First we went to see the sea lion show and when I got my camera out to take some pics it would not work so I thought the batteries were dead...I bought new batteries at the gift shop and it still would not work. When we got home Chris took it all apart but could not fix it. Ollie really broke it this time - so we had a great day and there were lots of photo ops but no camera to take any pics - bummer!

Anyway, Ollie loved the zoo this time. He was too little last year but this year was so much fun! He liked watching the sea lions play with the ball on their noses! He also saw great big turtles, a bear, he got to brush some goats, play in the children's zoo play area and run through the water. He saw elephants taking a bath and one of the elephants was in the water up to his eyeballs and would blow bubbles in the water with his trunk - Ollie thought that was pretty funny. He saw some giraffes eating grass and monkeys in the monkey house -but they were pretty tired.

Last night after dinner Ollie, Aunt Erin, Maw Maw and I went to a concert in the park at the City Center. They played 50s, 60s and 70s music. Ollie ran around the whole time he was so hyper! Then we went to Fritz's for ice cream - just what he needed before bedtime! Oh well - it was a fun day - sorry there are no pics!

What a fabulous day!!!

This morning we got up and ready to go to work and the babysitters just like normal. When I got to work they told me after they thought about things last night they decided that they were going to let me go. Yippee!! So I left and picked up Ollie and we played outside the rest of the morning. Then we went to lunch with Papa and Aunt Erin, then on to Anthony's Produce to get some fruit and then Ollie took a short nap. When Ollie woke up, Mommy, Aunt Erin and Ollie went to Laurel Park to go swimming. When we got home we went down to see Ginny and Jay but Jay did not want to play outside so Ollie hung out with the girls and ate watermelon and cantaloupe. Then we came home and had tacos for dinner then outside to play in the sandbox and swing! Finally it was time for bath and bed. What a fun day! Here are some pics of our day...
