Olivia's school had Spirit Week and she really got into dressing up for the different days! She dressed up like Minnie Mouse for character day (no picture of that one!). Tuesday was spirit day, so she wore her RCA shirt.
Then there was Wacky Wednesday:
Thursday was Twin Day and she and her BFF, Lexi, just so happened to have the same outfit:
Friday was decade day. We went with the 80's:
Silly girl. So thankful she enjoys school!
Paige is still halfway walking. As in, she'll take several steps, then decide crawling is much faster. I ordered her some squeaky shoes, hoping it would encourage her. This is what happened:
She figured out how to make them squeak when she crawls. Sigh. I'm ready for this baby to walk!
We got hit with the "big" snowstorm (along with the majority of the eastern half of the country)! It was very pretty, until our power went out. We were without power around 17 hours, which wasn't too bad, considering some people in our county are still without it. Luckily, we have a fireplace downstairs, so were able to keep warm. Daddy and Olivia were very excited to go sledding:
Paige and I watched, since she doesn't have correct clothing for being in the snow:
I grabbed a bowl of snow, so Paige could play:
She mostly enjoyed eating it:
Our neighbors got out their tractor and scooped up a bunch of snow to make a huge snowman:
Olivia was on a 2 hour delay for school today, which means she was only there for 3 hours. So, Paige and I decided to go along and help with her Valentine party. I posed the girls before we left:
Lots of video's ahead! Olivia had school pictures this week:
Our friend from church that took our family pictures made them, so I'm sure they'll be great! I love this one she took for us:
Her gymnastics had a Winter Olympics last Saturday. It was really cute! She insisted on wearing her red, white, and blue leotard:
They divided into 4 groups and we got to follow them around to each event. Paige was a handful, as usual. Olivia's group finished the bars and were waiting to move to the beam when Paige decided she needed to get to the bars:
Michael let her get in the pit during the beam routines. See her head sticking up?
Olivia on the beam (her least favorite):
And her floor routine:
She was so proud of her trophy:
And if anyone wants to see her events, I videoed all of them. Ha! They're about a minute each.
Vault:
Bars:
Beam:
Floor:
It was a fun day!
This little nugget:
can walk, but just doesn't want to. And yes, her hair is crazy. Sometimes it looks really curly and sometimes it's just wavy, but it is always crazy. I try to put the top half in a ponytail most days. I don't know what to do with it! I was folding laundry a few days ago when I watched (in disbelief) as she stood up and walked about 12 steps unassisted. She hasn't done it again. She can crawl like a mad woman, though!
My argument for her being able to walk is in this video:
Really, Paige? You can stand up and dance, but not walk? Mommy's not falling for that anymore...I know it's a ploy to get carried everywhere (and it works!).
