Cleaning day

Dec 3 - Today was the big cleaning day. Ms. Bridget couldn't come clean the house for the party because she had a family emergency but her replacement Ms. Vicky was here from 9:30am to 3:15pm. I had only woken up about 15 mins before she got here. She did everything. I watched her go from room to room doing her thing but Mommy also had to keep picking me up and moving me so I wasn't in her way.

Mommy got a few things done today too. She put out the Christmas stuff for the bathroom and moved a few things out of the family room. But mostly she just played with me and let me nap.

When Daddy got home we got a few more things done and hung out until it was time to get dressed. Mommy put me in a nice collar shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes so I would look nice for Great Aunt Marian's viewing. Daddy drove us in the van and of course I slept on the way there. When we got there it was packed! So many people had come to pay their respects to this fantastic woman. We found Grandma, Gavin, Aidan, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Sean, and Chachi. I occupied my time with a pack of tissues. Grandma held me for a little while and I played on one of the couches with Mommy and Daddy for a while. We did go up and said our goodbyes to Great Aunt Marian. We stayed til the end and then got in the van.

Instead of going straight home like I wanted we stopped at the grocery store in Oxon Hill. It took forever for Mommy to run in while Daddy and I waited in the van. Mommy had to get a few last minute things for the party and when she finally came out she had quiet a story about the people in the store. We finally got home. I wasn't happy about being woken up again but Mommy had to feed me and change me. I finally got to sleep in my bed.
