Productive Saturday, but still a good one :), make that a great one

Olivia had an EEG Saturday morning for her regular follow-up.  They want the patients to go to sleep during the EEG, so they tell you that they should be "sleep deprived" when they get there.  Luckily, we got the first apointment, at 8am, so she didn't have to stay up too late since she was getting up at 6:30.  Junior was helping Matt work on his car, so Lindsey came up, and our good friend Tressa.  I forgot, when I invited them to come over at 8:30 after the kids would be in bed, that Olivia would be staying up. But they didn't care, and it was pretty cool to have my best girl in on girls' night :).  Olivia was asking Tressa when her birthday was, so I guess she had birthdays on the brain.  She made Tressa a party hat, with a T for Tressa, a happy birthday sign, and a flower made out of a pipe cleaner on it. (Oh, and Tressa's Birthday is in November...btw)  After Lindsey and Tressa had so much fun with her hat, Olivia decided to make one for Lindsey too...

Finally, around 10, we were reading books, and Olivia could hardly hold her head up, so I let her go to bed.... and she seemed to be pretty sleep deprived when I got her up at 6:30!  She did good, though.  We stopped by McDonalds for some hash browns to eat on the way (to keep her awake on the way to Atlanta) We got there in perfect time.  She was so big and brave.  She's a great patient!  Here she is in the waiting room with no worries at all :)

On the way home, we stopped by Kohl's to use the Kohl's cash and 20% off coupon that was burning a hole in my pocket. My girl LOVES to shop.  She also likes to swipe the debit card, and lock and unlock the car (I was hoping she'd like handing over the stacks of coupons as much, but she hasn't learned about the joys of that yet, she just knows we don't buy things that aren't on sale or that we don't have a coupon for).  When we got back out to the car, she had the bag in one hand, keys in the other, and turns sideways to click the unlock button over her shoulder... CRACKED ME UP!!! Little Sassy Britches!!!!  This picture is a reenactment... I wasn't fast enough to catch it the first time.

After we got home, we did some work around the house, had lunch, read some books, rested some, had some friends over for dinner. Overall, a pretty productive, yet still relaxing and fun day :).  We had a great time with our friends Kevin and Sarah.  We've been to their house several times, but they've never been here and I'd been wanting to have them over for a while. They were actually up this way, so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for them to drop on by ;).  I was glad they agreed to come.

After dinner, and our guest went home to put their sweet "Baby Kaelan"... well... he's 2, but I call him baby Kaelan because they have a cousin named Kaelyn and its easier to differentiate that way... to bed, Olivia and Tyler went out to play on the slip n slide for a few minutes before bed.  When they came in for bath time, they decided to go swimming in the bathtub.... Always Fun!
