Best Day I've Had in a While

Hannah had a really rough night last week. She has been teething and having some serious seasonal allergies, so we didn't get much sleep that night. She finally fell back asleep at 5:30ish and my alarm was set to go off at 6:00. There was no way I was going to function with approximately two hours of sleep so I decided to call in to work. I slept a little longer until Hannah woke up around 7:30. I tried to get her to go back to sleep, but to no avail, so I decided I better just wear her out! So we got up, threw on some clothes and went out for breakfast. We shared some chicken-minis and yogurt at Chick-fil-a and then hit the play room for a while. She had a great time playing with all of the toys and attempting to climb up the slide.

She also had some of the complimentary cheerios. Despite the blurriness of the photo, can you tell she's having a good time?

On the way home, I decided that we should stop at the park in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and it's like it was just beckoning us to play. I guess Hannah was pretty happy about it because as soon as I got her down out of her carseat she took off running to the park area. Hannah has really started to enjoy the park these days and is not a bit afraid to climb the stairs in order to go down the slide! She is taking a rest on the base of the light pole. The kid can finds seats in the funniest places!

Check out those curls! I keep thinking that one day I am going to wake up and her hair isn't going to be curly anymore. On the contrary, it seems to be getting curlier each day!

Hanging out on an actual bench this time.

Taking a walk and avoiding Mom because I think that she might be trying to say that it is time to go!

We both took a nice long nap when we got home. It was beautiful...just what we needed to have a productive rest of the day. Can you tell? We colored with Hannah's new mess-free markers and then did some finger painting.

Cleaning up after finger painting. We spent more time cleaning up than we did painting, but that's okay...it was fun and something that we never could have done with Jon there. He gets a little stressed out when Hannah and I make a mess!

She saw me using the clorox wipes to clean the floor up after painting, so I guess she decided to help. She was getting busy with it too...I wasn't planning to clean the floors by hand, but I guess Hannah decided it was necessary.

That day was one of the best days I have had in a long time. It's days like that that make me miss staying home with Hannah, mostly because she has been grumpy a lot when I pick her up from daycare. Her best time of day tends to be in the mornings and I have been missing those times lately! C'est la vi! I may have to have a few more "Hannah Days" though...it helps me to get my fix!
