Olsen Family

1/8-

Sunday was good.  We slept in, played games, went to church.  The 1:00pm church wasn't as horrible as I thought, surprisingly.  McKenna loves primary and Jake seems to be doing well in his new class.  At least he hasn't been crying about going the past few weeks :)

1/9-

Monday was jam packed- a lot of it with fun, and we accomplished a lot.

In the morning we spent 2 hours at an indoor play place called Safari Run with quite a few friends from church. The kids had a ton of fun running out all their extra energy because it has been so rainy here lately.

After that we went straight to the barber shop for Jake to get a haircut.  He doesn't love getting haircuts, but he handled it better this time than previous trips.  And McKenna was really jealous, so when Jake was done, she got a trim too.  It had been probably a year since her last cut, so she was due.  And she's been telling me lately that she never wants to get it cut and it's going to be longer than "Tangled's" hair- meaning Rapunzel from the movie Tangled.  So I jumped on her actually wanting a trim.  You can't really tell much of a difference, but the split ends are gone and it's a little more even.  So a win in my book.

After the haircuts we dropped by a preschool we're considering for McKenna for next year to pick up some paperwork.  There's an open house in a week and a half, so we'll see what we think of it.

Then we Nike Factory Store and bought Jake some shoes- which apparently Andrew thinks are really lame, so we'll be returning them.  It's way harder to buy little boy shoes that don't fall apart and that everybody likes than I thought!

After shoe shopping we headed straight to the eye doctor where Jake and McKenna got their first eye exams.  They did pretty well, but the whole thing lasted an hour and a half- which was just a little bit too long.  The craziest part was seeing the doctor look at their eyes under the black light after putting drops in their eyes.  I never knew that's what he was doing to me either- it was crazy and quite creepy.  But the kids thought it was cool.  They're both slightly far-sighted, but apparently that's normal for their age.  No glasses- at least not yet.  They didn't exactly get good genes in the vision department.  Thank goodness for contacts!

After all our running around, it was nice to come home and watch part of a movie while it rained- and rained and rained.  And the kids slept great last night :)
