"livin' the dream"

i have no idea how olivia came upon this phrase, but here's what it means to her...

"mom, i'm livin' the dream playing playdough!!!"


"hey look! i'm livin' the dream blowing bubbles!!"

this next one is my personal favorite. just a little background first... olivia & garrett sit in the 3rd seat of the suburban. olivia can buckle herself in. garrett can only do his top buckle so olivia does the bottom for him since i refuse to venture into the 3rd seat area.

(it's a pit. scraps of paper, old french fries, fruit snack wrappers, etc. just another reason i NEED the dyson root. but i digress...)

anyways, olivia gets sick of doing his bottom buckle because he kind of can do it himself, he's just lazy. so here's what she said the other day...

"ahhhhh! i can't stand doing his bottom buckle. he's just sitting here livin' the dream with his hands behind his head. it's so not fair!!! garrett, i'm not doing your buckle anymore!!!!"

his response... in true garrett fashion, he totally ignored her and looked out the window :)

so here's to livin' the dream whatever it might look like it.
