Starting up Posts Again

Well, I'm going to give this a shot again....something always seems to distract me and it seems that I never have time to post anything...even harder still is doing it at home, which is what I do. First of all, I have been posting Olivia's comments of the day in the past...I have some to update with and decided to just do it in this paragraph.

One day Olivia was sitting next to me and out of the blue said "Mom, I'm so very proud about you"

Olivia "Mom, I'm going to kiss your hand and you hold it until I'm not home and then you can put it on your cheek or your heart, because your heart is like a bag...it holds lots of kisses.

Olivia "Mom, your special energy is my love"

Olivia "My kisses are like music, they make a beat. It is my music for you that only you can hear, it has magical powers."

One day I let Olivia give me a pretend "make-over". She was cutting and combing my hair, doing my nails, and I told her that I also needed make-up. Olivia said "Mom, you know you can't wear too much make-up or boys won't think you are stylish.

Olivia "Mom, I'm going to grab and snack from the kitchen and mow" ... "I'm just going to mow mom"

Olivia in the car on the way to school -it was her special day to be first in line and bring a show and tell item, she was very excited, and snack for everyone (string cheese and vanilla wafers) - proceeded to list off all the people in the world she loves. Olivia said "Mom, I love dad, and sister, and Tyler, Aunt Carrie, Grandma Bonnie, Papa.....Mom, is Grandma Bonnie married?"

I was talking on the phone and of course Olivia was listening to my conversation. I was telling Jenny how for Jenna's homework for school we had to write a paragraph about a family member. I was explaining to Jenny that we wrote about Aunt Carrie and how she speeks Spanish, and travels all around the world. After I hung up Olivia said "Mom, I've been all around the world too, I've been to Jenny's house, Grandma's house, Aunt Carrie's house..."

It was cold out in the fall and Olivia wanted to swing in the back yard around 3pm. We bundled up and went out. She swang for about 5 minutes and it started to rain. I told Olivia that we had to go inside. Olivia upset got off her swing and took my hand. She looked up at me and said "Mom, that wasn't very nice of god!"

We were eating at McDonalds in the car before going into her dance class. Livy was in the front seat by me eating and I saw a tear start to go down her cheek from a watery eye due to her sinuses. I wiped it off her cheek with my finger and Olivia said "Mom, do you know why I'm crying?" I asked her why and she said "Because you are so beautiful."

Olivia was put in bed for the night and started to tell me about her day at school. She said her teacher made everyone a helper and asked kids to do things to help out in class. Olivia said she was very quiet and she did not get called on. Olivia said "I was very dissappointed about that."
