Undefeated

I recently purchased my first Groupon deal to have the carpets on our main level, staircase, and upstairs cleaned for only $60!  I thought it was too good to be true!  Sadly, it was.  Our appointment was conveniently scheduled right after baby's naptime, which inconvenienced us by making us homebound the entire morning.  A small price to pay for professionally-cleaned carpets.  It was lunchtime when I finally realized that these people weren't going to show up.  Afternoon naps followed, allowing me time to call the company's full voicemail box that was not taking messages.  It was starting to smell like a rotten day.  Except it wasn't because my house smelled clean.  After all, who would plan to have her carpets cleaned without picking up around the place?  Even though I wasn't able to get to the Y for a morning workout, I did enjoy being at home with our happy girls.  Getting those chores accomplished this morning left the afternoon naptime free for some paperwork and computer tasks...like getting my Groupon purchase fully refunded.  Having those things knocked out leaves the evening open for a workout on the elliptical downstairs (theoretically...although it's already after nine and that ship is almost underway).  So the day was not ruined after all, despite that dishonest company's best efforts.  Jessica: 1.  Air Comfort Green Seal: 0.

It is nearly impossible to see a smiley baby first thing in the morning and NOT have a great day!  It should become the next scientific law.

I took full advantage of her mood to prepare breakfast and put away the dishes.

The answer to your next question is, "Yes."  Yes, she most certainly is wearing a red tulle tutu underneath her nightgown.  How else do you have a tea party???

She wanted to show you the new jammies she picked out that deem her "Daddy's Little Princess."

Doesn't she look so sweet and ready for sleep?  After a spin move off the bed, a couple of laps in the hall between our rooms, handstand-like jumps with feet kicking in the air, one story, and three songs...she was.
