Why mommy? why?

Another favorite phrase the days, is "why did you (eat your beans all gone) mommy?  Why?"  And she says it so indignantly.   Must have learned that at daycare.  It's pretty funny. 

Today I managed to put mulch down the rest of the fence and move more river rocks... looks so much better!  The neighbors must be ecstatic.   I know I am happy to have that project much further along.  Tomorrow am I'd like to set up the soaker hose and then be in really good shape.  We'll see, since it is Easter Sunday and I really should take Olivia to church.

Also today, Areal and his son Jorge came by to see the ledgestone project and fireplace  and they'll be sending a quote shortly.  Kevin seemed to warm up to the idea of Arael doing the work, but we'll have to see what the quote is.  My fingers are crossed!

Not to enjoy my very rare pedicure....

It's my favorite.

Olivia's favorite phrase today is, "I want x, it's m favorite. "  it's super cute, especially in her sweet little voice.  We had another breathing episode over the last weekend.   Terrible timing since my parents and Vicky were out visiting and Emi ' s lacrosse game was on Sunday.  We ended up going to urgent care in the early evening and I watched her like a hawk overnight.  Olivia is fine now. 

We had a great time with the family during their whirlwind visit.  The kiddos were good and everyone seemed fairly relaxed. 

I've been treated to 2 weeks of Kevin in town which is wonderful. 

Back to Olivia, she loves singing to herself now and knows the words to various Frozen songs surprisingly well.  Last night she was singing head, shoulders, knees and toes on the way home from school.  So adorable.

Super cute!

Olivia loves her new butterfly dress I bought last weekend and ran into daycare today to show it off to her friends.  She is well known for sharing raisins in the morning with everyone.  I've gotten a kick out of watching her imagination run wild!  Olivia now is happy playing with her stuffed animals and an imaginary Goofy, or some other character.  She tucks them in on the floor repeatedly and is their mother. It's too much cuteness! 

Potty training is really good.  We've hardly had any accidents. 

Mum mum and pop pop are coming to visit tonight for the weekend.  We are all off to see Emi play stanford in lacrosse on Sunday.  Aunt Vicky is coming out too!  The rain has finally stopped for a bit and things are growing like mad.  Work is calming down a tad and things are generally good.  I'm trying to plan a number of weekend trips. 

Olivia is just the sweetest little girl. She's going down to bed easier again and has been a delight the last few mornings at drop off.
