More from Olivia

I know I have been posting alot about Olivia lately, but I really want to document her thoughts! Here is one from today...

Olivia: "I don't want to be anything when I grow up, I just want to be a mom"

My thoughts on this: I am excited at the idea of grandchildren, but not so excited that she thinks my job as a mom is "nothing". (smile)

Further into the conversation:

Me: "What do you think the best part will be when you are a mom?"
Olivia: "Going swimming"

Interesting...

Escalator

Olivia and I went shopping at the mall today. She LOVES the mall, but especially loves the escalators! Today we rode the one in Von Maur 3 times! (when Logan is with us, in the stroller, we can't ride them) It was the highlight of her day. I remember being little and thinking escalators were so fun! The BEST part is they are free! I am sure when she turns 13 she won't be satisfied, at the mall, with JUST riding the escalator. :)

Number 1: Learn to Sew

I must briefly expand on this one...

I was given the mission to purchase fabric for curtains for the 1's and 2's room at church. Simple task, one would think, right? WRONG! I go to two different Wal-marts, the first has NO selection, the other has alot to choose from. HOWEVER, the sales lady (older, grandma-type, which to me means should be sweet) clearly thought I had been living under a rock when it comes to sewing. (I did have to keep a squirmy Logan occupied and I had multiple phone conversation with Christie and Michelle, regading the curtains during this process but as I said, I know NOTHING about buying fabric.) The sales-lady didn't seem to have the patience for me as I tried to figure all of this out. SOOOO in an effort to be a well-rounded person and in the event I am ever in this situation again, I would like to learn to sew. Just the basics, I won't be making wedding dresses or anything, but making curtains sounds nice.

Things to do in this life...

I love Kim's idea of listing the things I want to do in this life. I think it is so neat to document things like this and really make an effort to remember them as goals to pursue! SO I am making at list on the right-hand side of the blog, and as I think of things I want to do/accomplish I will add them. Wonder if my first one should be... make it through an entire day without collapsing from exhaustion... no too lofty.

Good Book

I must have been on a reading hiatus because I haven't read much this summer! But I just got a cute book at the library The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella, looks cute!

Kim, I read on your profile that you like David Baldacci! I think I have read ALL of his books and love them!!! He has a new one coming out this fall, another "Camel Club adventure". I am excited!

You May Go To Target Too Often When....

Today we were driving toward our Target store, and as we approached it, Logan starts yelling "ocorn!" "ocorn!" (for the popcorn we get at the cafe, he eats while we shop). We didn't go stop at Target today and he cried long after we passed the store! Does that mean he is addicted too?
