What A Start!

What a productive day! By 9am Evelyn and I had dusted, cleaned all the mirrors, scrubbed the heck out of the bathtub/toilet/vanity, and vacuumed and mopped all the floors. So basically we cleaned the house from top to bottom, including 3 loads of laundry and 1 load of bathroom/kitchen rugs. What a day! Due to my assertive day of housework, I needed some rest myself. So, during Evelyn's nap time, I made a quick trip to Old Navy, scoring Evelyn 3 pairs of sale priced jeans and a few miscellaneous fall pieces.

Upon arriving home, I was shocked to hear that Evelyn learned to say, "Love my Dad!" Also, while watching Cake Boss, I quietly mentioned the word cake to which Evelyn jumped off the couch singing, "Birthday! Birthday!" Trying to teach her the song went something like this-
Mommy: Happy..
Evelyn: Happy..
Mommy: Birthday..
Evelyn: Birf-day..
Mommy: to you!
Evelyn: to.......CAKE! CAKEEEEE!!

To top off the perfect day, we spent some time lazily playing in the living room before our delicious, home-cooked meal of oven baked chicken thighs, green beans, and Parmesan pasta-all for under $9! What a productive, money-saving day! Bring it on Labor Day weekend, we're ready for you!
