Yesterday I was talking to my sister on the phone. I walked into my bedroom and smelled that distinct nail polish smell. I scanned the room and quickly discovered that Hayden had decided to paint her nails by herself. What color did she choose? RED of course! As she was painting her nails I noticed the nail polish bottle laying on its side slowing seeping into my carpet. I didn't yell...instead I scooped up the polish and ran to my computer. Hayden was a little stunned (probably because I wasn't yelling) and started crying. I asked her why she didn't just ask me to do it for her. She said "I did mom...but you were too busy." Ouch...
Hayden posing with her pretty nails she did herself and my stained carpet. (The black on her hand is my address stamp that she found earlier in the morning.)
I used nail polish remover, then goo gone, then windex, then my special orange cleaner I bought from a door to door salesman, and finally shaving cream. Can you see red?
My carpet is clean. I re-painted Hayden's fingernails red. Hopefully you'll be seeing red nails a lot more often.

Hayden gave her 1st talk in Primary on Sunday. She did pretty well. The best was the "woo woo" that she yelled with her arms raised when expressing her excitement for getting a body.
The New Years baby came this year. The kids found the absolute biggest shoes possible to lay out. They were up SO early! It was just as exciting as Christmas. 
The funniest Christmas moment of 2008 came from Hayden. The story of Aunt Wendy getting a rotten potato in her sock for Christmas (because of bad behavior that year) had been told many times. Hayden had reason to be nervous this year as she opened her stocking. Her joy could not be contained as she discovered toys and treats galore. She loudly exclaimed with MUCH amazement, "I MUST have been good...look NO rotten potato!
