A Friday at home, a Saturday out and about

Friday, we spent the day cleaning. Even Nicholas was in on it in the afternoon. Olivia does pretty well with these cleaning days, since we alternate from working (where she "helps" by dusting, mopping, wiping mirrors, etc.) to playing or "taking a break" for snacks or reading. We usually listen to music, so she dances, too.

After all that work, today, Olivia and I went to Chik-Fil-A for lunch so that she could play in the indoor play place, and then to the library, which she also loves. Later, when we got home, we made a two hour trek to the play ground in our neighborhood. Pictures follow. She played with the rocks, the sticks, and finally discovered going down the slide by herself. She loved it!
