Summer Randomness

This summer sure has been a blast. It's weird to think that it has

finally come to an end. Here is a look back at some of our

"2012 Olafsson Summer Randomness":

 

- Claire discovered bubble wrap -

this was a very exciting adventure for her

she was very upset when Mommy finally took it away

- Family trip to Hogle Zoo -

we finally got great views of the polar and grizzly bears

from this day forward, Claire began an obsession with polar bears swimming

we've had numerous conversations of how polar bears swim and

push off of the rocks with their feet

very exciting stuff for Claire Bear

 

- Endless mornings watching Signing Time -

Claire's one and only favorite show

for about a month, she insisted on me opening up

her blankie (spreading it out on the chair) so

she could lay there and watch it

 

- Ranae's (Claire's Farmor) surprise 60th birthday party -

Claire had tons of fun trying to give her cousins kisses

happy birthday Ranae

 

- 24th of July at Butlerville Days -

I waited in line forever so Claire could get her face painted

it ended up being the most ridiculous face painting job ever

about three seconds later the girl was finished

there were four globs of paint on Claire's face

it was supposed to be a butterfly

so annoyed!

 

- Many afternoons jumping on the couch -

this was another activity Claire discovered

she LOVES jumping from the coffee table to the couch

and always insists on someone watching her

 

- Sold Erik's truck -

exciting day for me (I don't like trucks)

not sure how Erik felt about it

it did get tons of use

 

- Claire amused herself by placing stickers on her bare belly -

wonder why she chose that body part

it entertained her for quite a while

 

We packed quite a bit into three short months. And these were the "non-eventful" (but also very fun) activities. Can't wait to see what Fall 2012 has in store for us!

 

* Ranae - you're birthday is not included in the "non-eventful" category. It's always special in our minds. *
