A few lessons were learned and reinforced today:

1.  Don't assume you don't have to put a mattress cover on a Little's bed because that Little is NEVER a "messy" sleeper.

At 4am I heard a sweet voice beckoning me, chanting, "mama...mama...mama."
I responded to Rachel's request and unlocked her door.
*side note- Don't judge, yes we lock Rachel in her room at night. Have you met her? 
No one wants this kid free to roam at night. TRUST ME. 
Vomit everywhere, seriously everwhere. And yes, the mattress had absorbed a good portion of it. Merry Christmas. Not.

2.  Never give a child a "dry clean only" blanket to sleep with. Ever.

3.  If it smells like pee or poop...it is.
Don't try to fool yourself by saying, "it couldn't be."

Frederik Chopin, the outdoor only (yes he's neutered) Utah Garden Gnome, walzed in this afternoon and relieved himself on my side of the bed. Thank you myself for using a mattress pad THIS time.


I wasn't all too productive today.  I cleaned all day and the house is messier than this morning. I should've watched A&E all day instead.

It was just too cold to move properly today. When I took Sophia and Nathan to school at 7:30 it was 52 degrees. When I got back home, 20 minutes later, it dropped to 38. It stayed in the 30's all day. Loser temperature.

Productivity Report:
Mr. Foy kicked the hell outta installing t-posts for a deer-proof, kid and dog-restraining fence.
AND we got started on repaving our driveway.

We have big plans for this house...BIG PLANS.
