At the end of the day and Kenny s actually here when I go to bed I give him a run down of all the crazy things the girls did that day. Believe me, there is always a lot! He said I should put them on the blog, so I thought I would mention some. So, today we finally got out the door to go to church and Olivia wriggled out of my arms and ran over to a ball on the lawn, and Maggie took off running down the street. I mean running as fast as she could in the opposite direction. Then olivia climbed on the neighbors tricycle which was covered with water. Needless to say she got all wet and we had to go back inside.
Speaking of Maggie running away.... We went to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday, and Maggie did pretty good- until the end. I was in te chekc out line and she found a patio set, which was okay becuase it was right behind out line. So i kept an eye on her while I was waiting in line. She loves to sit on chairs in the store. ( and she LOVES to get in the beds. She did this at IKEA. She takes off her shoes and climbs into the big fluffy cumfy beds and pretends she is asleep) So at the the checkout when it was finally my turn, I turned my head for less than a minute and I looked back and she was gone!! How does she disappear so quickly??? So the entire staff was using their walkie talkies and searching for her. After I did a lap around te store some lady had her in her arms!! WTH?? Luckily people are so nice and helpful!! I need to always use the leash. Yes I have a leash for my dauhter, after all, she does BEHAVE like an animal sometimes!!
She runs away all the time, but usually not at the park. I was looking forward to the ward BBQ at the park. I thought it would be great, the kids would play and I could talk to some friends. Yea right!! I couldn't turn my attention away, or sit down, because they were both running away, like really far away. I sat down for a sec, and I couldn't find olivia. I finally saw her across the field at the other pavilion stealing some mexican guys basketball. She was making her way to the tables when i got to her. Olivia covered herself in water and mud while I got food. She spilled water all over her shirt, she ran around shirtless for the rest of the time.
But the clincher is this. Maggie was sitting next to me at the table. She got off and ten seconds later I couldn't see her. So ran to the park, I found olivia, but where o where has my little girl gone?? Ahh, there she is- she ran in to the tennis courts and chased the guy with the tennis racket around on the court. The site of it made me laugh so hard I peeed my pants. Some ladies showed up asked if she was mine. They found her in the PARKING LOT!!
This is why my favorite time of day is bedtime!!!!!
