It didn't work.
No vent hood last night.
But look at the steal of a deal we got on craigslist.
Have I said I love craigslist yet???!
We got a brand new Martha Stewart 8X10 rug for $125 dollars. Ridiculous deal. Retail: more than $500.

Devious plans and clever tricks.

I am trying my darndest to get my husband to install my vent hood...
My method of persuasion is unusual, I must admit, but definitely not intentional.
First, burn some beans on the stove, then rescue them for dinner and call it "Smoky Bean Soup". Pretend it's delicious and serve it to him as leftovers as well.
Then, make his favorite dessert, pie, and allow the juice to burn on the bottom of the oven.
Allow more smoke to saturate the downstairs.

How many licks???

This was the best birthday present she thinks she received!

One.

I attempted to take a picture of her in this adorable outfit on her birthday, the one her Daddy bought her when she was just a few days old. She was too busy being a party animal.
Here's her stats at one year, one week:
21lbs - 45th percentile
29 inches- 70th percentile
Still a peanut head at the 25th percentile....but good thing it grew a whole inch :)
We cannot believe it has already been a year. What a joy!
