Never so Happy for Dad to be Home!

This little clip is the base for about 8 different hair flowers and what nots that make Addie's hair so cute! But oh how it has been a pain in my A**. A couple months ago we lost it at Costa Vida when it fell out, but luckily the next time we were in they had it in the lost and found. Then again Sunday night not even 2 hours after Paul left for Idaho Falls catastrophe strikes. I have Addie up on the bathroom counter so that I could brush out the tangles and get it out of her face. While I'm busy with that, Addie is playing with her little clippies, and that is when it happened. "Uh Oh Mommy, where dit doe?" Yup she told me in not so many words that it went down the drain, Yippe. First it was the DVR in our bedroom that mysteriously wouldn't work and now a hair clip in the drain. And I'm thinking great when is Paul going to have time to work on all this!

So Monday finally comes and it turns out to be a sunny warm day. What a great way to bring in March and the perfect opportunity to send Addie A.K.A. Distructomatic Girl outside to play! So in the Morning I decided that I could fish out the hair clip, and get the laundry started and so that we could play outside all afternoon. Let me just say that the drain was sooooo disgusting! Then only thing I can compare the smell to is the Waste Water Treatment Center. It was so foul, but a lot of bleach took care of that and in no time I realized that the clip was not in the drain. A cheap a dime a dozen one was but not the one that we have to go to Utah to get a replacement for. That one was behind the toilet not in the drain.


By this point the house was trashed. Bert had her toys everywhere,but the laundry was started and the bathroom was clean so we ditched our chores and went out to play!

Addie drew beautiful pictures with her sidewalk chalk. Stole Ellie's collar to make a necklace and jump jumped with friends, While Mom got her Vitamin D fix.

Finally when Mom was done being Mom and Addie was more than sick of Mom, Dad came home! Just in time to put Addie to bed and then collapse in exhaustion and watch House before we went to bed.
