The Last 2 Weeks

 This is what we've been up to in the last 2 weeks...

We celebrated Andrew's 4th birthday at EdVenture.

 Olivia was too cute baking muffins.

 

And did not want to get off this tractor at all.

 Then that evening as we were picking out a movie to watch that night I noticed how completely uneven Olivia's hair is.

 Which meant it was time to take her for her first hair cut ever.  I told them to take as little off as possible because I just love all of her beautiful curls.

I was sad afterward, but Olivia was happy about her new "princess haircut."

I had a night out with the girls at Tag It Art where we recreated Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night.  I of course had to be different and added red and purple to my color pallet.

We've spent a lot of time at the pool with friends.

 

 

And having picnics at the pool.

We went to the blueberry farm and picked lots of blueberries.

 

 We used scrap material to make blankets for Olivia's dolls.  You would have thought it was Christmas with how excited she was by this.  She absolutely loves Barbie dolls and her Princess dolls that are like Barbies.

And because the floor wasn't comfortable enough for the dolls, they had to move to the bed.

Even more exciting, Olivia is now potty trained!   She has been wanting to take ballet classes so her reward for potty training is just that.  I'm not sure who is more excited about it, me or her :)  We went ahead and took her to the dance store to pick out her leotard to keep up with the excitement and she could not have been more excited to see all the pretty pink costumes and to sit and try on ballet shoes.

Here is the outfit she picked out.

 

And lastly, we celebrated the 4th of July with the annual BBQ at the McGee's!

I had to make these after I saw them in a magazine.

Despite the gap in age, Olivia and Eva really love playing together.

The girls found Meghan's dress up clothes and Olivia couldn't have been more thrilled to discover she had a Belle outfit.  She told me I had to call her Belle while she was dressed like her.

When we tried to get the girls told hold hands, Olivia looked at Sydney and said "but she's a bear!" because she was wearing bear paws and wouldn't hold her hand.

 

 And the night wouldn't be complete without fireworks!  Olivia was one of the only girls who would go outside for the fireworks, much less participate.  No fear here!

Although a sparkler did come a little too close to her face which scared her and she needed a little time out from fireworks.

Within minutes, she was back out and watching the show again!
