No Wild Trips

We are moving in about a month and still have quite a few things to do on our house that we've been procrastinating for a long time.  So when John has a day off, we do things around town then come home and do more housework to get ready to move.  Here are some things that we've been doing on our days off and while Daddy is at work:

We got a BBQ from John's co-worker last winter and never used it.  On Sunday we invited some friends over and had a little BBQ outside.  The weather is perfect here during the summer.  As you can see in the back, Olivia is bugging the baby boy.  She likes to poke babies.  Jocelyn loves it, but other kids don't.

Bath time!  Here's Olivia with her homemade bath paints! 

I can never do the dishes without Olivia wanting to help me.  It's usually pretty fun even if I have to change her outfit 5 times each day. 

Since this mostly has to do with what Olivia does, I had to through in a picture of Jocelyn. 

We go to the park almost everyday.  Right when Olivia wakes up in the morning, she yells "Slide!".  She also loves swings. 

I bought a bunch of Greek Yogurt thinking that I would make smoothies, but it's too sour for me.  So I made fruit popsicles for Olivia and she loves them.

I usually like to pull the kids around in the laundry basket, but the girls also like to use it as a reading chair.

Olivia loves spending time with her daddy and loves going outside.  They were outside for a while and when I went out to check on them, they were just chilling in the shed.

I found a homemade sidewalk chalk paint receipt online and now we do it almost everyday!  It's so easy and super cheap but the fun lasts for hours. 

Jocelyn just watched and Daddy joined when he got home from work! 


Jocelyn is teething and she's pretty miserable, so we couldn't go to the park.  Olivia kept asking to go slide down the slide and since we couldn't go to the park, I set up our table just on two legs and she slid down it over and over again! 

Olivia with her BFF Kolten feeding the birds.  Olivia is one day older but about 10 inches taller than this kid. 

Climbing her first tree!  She didn't like it that much. 

Since this entire post is about the activities that Olivia does, here's a little video of Jocelyn laughing at her mama attempting the hula hoop.  She is the cutest little girl with the happiest little giggle!
