I just have to say, I hate it when our basement floods! It's so annoying. We have this tiny, tiny, gross basement and having it all wet doesn't make for a very nice situation. Fortunately, J seemed to be able to fix it himself vs calling a $200 plummer to fix it. We did loose a few Christmas decorations and boxes but it encouraged Jeremy to get our other shed cleaned out so that we can use it as additional storage which I am very excited about because the shed doesn't flood! Although we didn't get to accomplish out Saturday to do list, at least we got a little fall cleaning forced on us haha.

Baby J is so dang funny! Yesterday I was cleaning and she walked over to wear I was dusting and in her own, sweet way of communicating, demanded the rag so that she could dust. I could see the delight and pleasure on her face as she wiped along the furniture, dusting for mommy. Funniest thing is she's didn't do a half bad job! Next I was scrubbing the oven glass and she wanted to scrub with me. So I got her her own scrubber and that was ok for all of 10 seconds when again she "demanded" mine and wanted to do the work herself. I didn't give into that one but thought it was so cute that she's so thrilled with cleaning.
Today I was talking to my mom and she brought up that when Baby J was over at their house Wednesday night, she was obsessed with cleaning and had to help my mom clean everything! She also became very curious about face lotion and was so excited when Gramma put lotion on her face and taught her how to rub lotion into her hands. She's such a girlie girl...I love it.
The funniest thing that she's doing lately is covering her eyes when she gets "in trouble." As you all know, "If she can't see me, then I must not be able to see her!" :0) Now she's progressed to just closing her eyes, it's hilarious!
And lastly, the sweetest thing and most endearing to me is how cuddly she is. This is the baby that wouldn't lay on your shoulder or snuggle or fall asleep in your arms. Now she's started walking up to us when she's ready for bed and sitting contently in our laps until she falls asleep. It's like one minute she's sitting there happily and the next she's zonked out. We love it because it makes going to bed possible ANYWHERE and so easy! Plus we get to cuddle our baby and make up for those months she wouldn't snuggle. It's so sweet and cute!

Had an awesome time at my Slumber Party tonight! It was my first bachelorette party, we had a blast and I met very fun girls! Craziest thing is when I pulled up to the house, I knew I had been there before. Well, this house is 45 minutes away from home and not a neighborhood that seemed familiar. It took a little while to figure it out but then the bride-to-be and I realized I had gone out with her cousin and hung out at their house back in 2006! It was so funny and what a small world!
I love that I get to meet fun, new people every time I do a party! I can't wait for the girls I met tonight to host parties so I can hang out with them again. :0)
And my awesome friend Rachel was so good to come even with it being such a late night! Thanks Rachel!
