Happy Hour

Today was the big TB test day. I woke up with a groggy mind to Annika asking me where we were going today. She hardly ever asks that. So later in the morning I told her. She was not happy. To say the least. This little one worries like you can't imagine. I did distract for a little with the funny dream I had this morning- I was in line waiting to see the dr. where they made us bite the inside of our arm really hard. I guess I had the test on my mind, too.

The lady told me it was pretty much painless. Annika went first- involved some crying and yelling I don't want to do this. Then Olivia came in from the hallway. Every muscle in her body tensed up and as the nurse did it she was crying and screaming- looking surprised- it IS hurting! it is STILL hurting! And it hurt her for a while. Oh, I feel sorry for her when it is time for her to have a baby. She has a fraction of a pain tolerance.

We left to go to Babies R Us to get some Tot Locks for our cabinets. On the way Annika said, "Is it happy hour?" This makes me smile. I think it is funny my girls talk about happy hour. This of course, refers to Sonic's happy hour. It wasn't, but today we made a special exception. It seemed like the only right thing to do.

Tonight at bedtime Annika read a book to me. At the end the character asks her what she did today. She said (in the sweetest little voice ever)- "Well...we got lollipops and Sonic. It was a good day."

Love it! Don't you wish we could end our day like that- with thoughts of only the good things that happened?

Another success story for today- Olivia and I successfully moved the baby bed (which we had set up like a toddler bed in our playroom to use as a couch) into "the little girl's room" without having to take it all the way apart! Yea! I was very pleased! It now has the little side back on it and the padding off (to follow state rules). Olivia said, "Don't you think the little girl will want the padding? It feels so much better." I totally agree, but we have to see how old she is first. Now we just need to get a big bed for Annika's room and move her full sized bed into "the little girl's room" and we'll be set. It is kind of hard to plan for everything since we have no idea how old she'll be. Well, four or under, but that is quite an age range when you think of things they might need/use.

We also got fire extinguishers so we can pass our fire inspection. It is week after next. Next weekend is Olivia's birthday party. We are having it early to make sure it is still hot enough because she wants to have a water slide birthday. I really should be doing some things to get ready for that. I guess if we get bored we could have a fire extinguisher fight.

Off to watch Date Night with Travis. Hopefully it is good! (It has to be better than preseason NFL!)
