Disney On Ice

Last Friday we took Olivia to see Disney on Ice at the state fair. She LOVED it! She fixed her eyes on the show and was in a trance the whole time. We went with other families in our life group from church so she enjoyed spending time with her friends as well. We went to her favorite restaurant "Chick Da Flay" beforehand. During the intermission, she said she was thirsty and Michael thought the popcorn was smelling good so I went to the concession stand and cringed as I paid $10 for a lemonade and $7 for a box of popcorn! We only get to go to Disney on ice once a year right? That's what I told myself! We somehow made it of there without a spinny light thing as she didn't even ask for one. As we were leaving it was way past her bedtime and she was getting tired. She saw the ferris wheel at the fairgrounds and cried all the way to the car and part of the way home because we wouldn't take her to the ride the ferris wheel! Now when anyone asks her how disney on ice was she says " I didn't get to ride the ferris wheel." 3 year olds, what can you do?!
Grayson got to spend the night with Grammy and Pappy and I think they enjoyed some one on one time with him as much as we enjoyed having Olivia just by herself.

Grayson has been in Mom's Day Out for over a month now and he is still having a hard time adjusting. We are going to give him a couple more week sand see if he adjusts a little better. If not, I think we'll pull him out and I'll continue to take him to work with me.

In other news, Michael's division of his company was sold this week. As of right now everyone in the Tulsa office is laid off unless they are hired by the new company. We should know in the next couple of months whether or not he gets an interview or if he will need to start applying for other jobs. He has updated his resume and has it ready to start sending out as soon as we hear something. We have truly been worry-free because we know that this situation is all in God's hands and we are seeing as a new opportunity rather than a setback. The hardest part is just the unknown and waiting to hear what our next move should be.

I love Olivia's honesty, such a funny story about the ferris wheel! I can't believe Grayson is already one! It seems like you just had Olivia.
