So....I don't know if Ashley wanted me to come to help watch Parker or to help her do all the projects she put off until Hank was gone! Ashley didn't have to work on Monday so we started the day by making cool pancakes with the molds she got for Christmas (moose and star). I don't know who liked them better - Ash or Park! Then......we painted her family room, sanded her desk and hutch and varnished it, went to get Parker's 18 month picture taken, shopped some and then came home to sand and varnish the desk and hutch again.

One coat of varnish and the desk and hutch are looking really good!

Bedtime wouldn't be complete without a few stories. Parker could sit and have you read books to her all day! She especially likes the one about "Grandma and Me" and "Dear Zoo"
