Daddy and Olive cuddles!

Gahhhhhh. But not like this!!
So today is my daughter’s 10th birthday which means a pool party at our local community pool this afternoon…so you bet your ass I put on a full face of makeup!
Why?
Because in addition to looking fabulous for the party, I can honestly say I’ve never gotten sunburn on my face wearing this skincare and makeup! (And y’all know I hate wearing additional sunscreen, so when I plan to stay out of the sun, I just rely on my makeup to protect me. If I’m actually PLANNING to stay in the sun, I’ll add our sunscreen!)
And then this happened while I was taking my selfies… Hubby photobombed me with Olive.
Olive came home from Dave and Anna’s with a new look.
Since Olive can squeeze under sections of our fence, we had to figure out a temporary solution.
Why there, Olive? You’re weird.
Katie wanted me to do her makeup so I used the same colors on both of us.
We’ve had this bed here for awhile but she never wanted to use it. Then she discovered that the sun hits it…
And a nap with Katie.
And a cuddle with Owen.
Her kids left her and she was whining at the door waiting for them to come home.
Sheb gave up on the kids and wanted me to pick her up and now look what’s happened. How am I supposed to get any work done now? P.S. I’m sitting at the kitchen table.
P.S. I’m sitting at the kitchen table. 😂
It’s very cute but also very annoying when you really need to catch her.
And then it’s nappy time.
Library book update: I finished book #4, read a super quick short story #5, and am 8% through book #6.
I actually feel pretty good today. Covid has not made me sleepy tired (just physically exhausted) so I was up reading until 1:30am—but then I slept pretty well (even considering I was 95% stuffed up) until 9:30! It was too hot and humid to read outside so I’ve been inside. I still get the morning headache but Excedrin still works. My voice sounds crazy but otherwise I think I’m on the mend.
I’d say she’s grown just a little bit.
She can finally jump up on her own and she likes resting up there.
And then she’s off. Still being cute.
And then a big nap back in the house.
I’m on library book 4. (I started and finished book 3, A Room Full of Bones, last night.)
If I didn’t know better, I’d think I just had a head cold. I’m stuffed up and I have phlegm. Still have the headache in the morning but Excedrin fixes that. Didn’t sleep great but I generally don’t. Overall I’m just TIRED and moving slow.
I’m excited (again) to be able to sit outside for a little bit—fresh air and a change of scenery. Plus I get to cuddle with Olive…
And watch her be cute and have fun in the yard. She loves laying on these inflatable sleds (for the waterslide).
The kids took a break from the slide to try and take Olive over to it. She made it to the side but hopped off once they set it down and tried to push her down the slide!
