Rainy Weekend

What some crazy weather we have been getting this spring. Wet weather outside means we have to entertain ourselves inside. Jenny and Olivia decided to build forts in Olivia's room yesterday. Those two get along so well and have a lot of fun together.

We were able to take advantage of the spring/summer-like weather we had for Saturday morning. We headed over to a "Pirate Festival" which turned out sounding better than it actually was. But, it was a nice morning to be outside and it was a good excuse to go to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for lunch. The food is always great and the girls liked to sit on the big swings that they have by the bar before we left. We got back home just as the bad storms were hitting.

Sunday morning was more of the same wicked weather but in between showers the dark skies made for some nice lighting for pictures outside. Once the storms came back we were back in the house. We, like many people, rented movies and watched the lawn and garden fill up with water.

Olivia will be 2 years old in two weeks. She counts to ten, spells her name, knows her colors and is learning more everyday. When we want her to use the potty chair though, we ask her if she wants to be a "big girl" and use the potty chair. Without hesitation she immediately says "NO" every time so for now it probably won't do much good to push her, she'll let me know when she is ready.
