Month of the Military Child - Days 1-3

April is the Month of the Military Child. Olivia's daycare is doing a special thing this month where every day they have something special. My goal was to take a picture each day and blog about the special thing. Well, you know how goals go...sometimes they have to get modified. So, I will at least try to take a picture, and then blog about it to share with you. For now, I have a few days to catch up on.

April 1st was "Share Breakfast with me Day." Daddy, Mommy, and Olivia all went to daycare together and ate breakfast. It was a fun, yummy day.

April 2nd was "Real Messy Art Day." Now, I didn't pick up Olivia from school, so I don't have a picture for you. But I can tell you that I dressed her in a gray shirt and gray pants, but she came home in a gray shirt and brown pants. No, she didn't paint the pants brown, she just needed to be changed after participating in a paint slip-n-slide. Daddy said her favorite teacher "Miss Liz" was covered in paint from head to toe. She said all the kids tackled her. Apparently, Real Messy Art Day included putting paint in little spray bottles. That was one of Olivia's favorite.

April 3rd was "Let's Have Fun in the Park Day." And we did. The day started out with Mike's work Children's Easter Party at one of the parks on base. Olivia was very good at finding the eggs and putting them in her basket. She hardly needed any help. Although, her friend Abby helped her out a little bit. Then after the Easter Party, we showed some new friends around Okinawa, stopping at Comprehensive Park - a huge park off base.

We started the morning off with Olivia helping Mommy make some cookies for the Easter Party...(Jill helped by sniffing around for any dropped peanut butter)

A "High five" with Abby:

The loot:

No fear at all. I caught her climbing this almost all the way up!

Doesn't even care that she has a dress on...still wants to play:

Later that day at Comprehensive Park- We played with big bubbles!

She liked chasing them:

And running around:

Hmmm - what's this look?

Oh that's a sneaky little (big) smile:

As for Easter, we didn't do much. The Easter Bunny did stop by and leave Olivia a basket, and mommy and daddy some candy, but that was about it. It was a yucky rainy day, so we just stayed in all day and cleaned up a little here and there. As for the day, it was suppose to be "A Special Island Trip Day." Since it was raining, we didn't do that today. But we are going to go to Okuma next weekend, so maybe that will count for something! Happy Easter to all! Stay tuned...
