The Alice Loo-Who, looking totally innocent. Just wait.
I think it's time to revisit the Awesome/Not Awesome game.
Awesome:
Alice's bare bum sitting on the scale at the doctor's office. Really: is there anything cuter than a bare baby bum? I don't think so.
Not awesome:
The screaming that came after Alice's shots. HATE THAT PART. (Alice isn't so fond of it either.)
Awesome:
Finding some very yummy smoked turkey on sale at the grocery store WITH a little sticky coupon on the lid for an additional $0.50 off.
Not awesome:
Later finding the little sticky coupon still stuck on the lid because you forgot to remind the grocery store clerk to actually use the coupon.
Awesome:
A very sweet husband stopping at Petco to buy the expensive Special-Indoor-Super-Duper-Hairball-Reduction-Extravaganza-And-By-The-Way-This-Food-Will-Also-Minimize-Your-Pores-And-Make-Your- Hair-Extra-Shiny-And-Gorgeous cat food.
Not awesome:
The cats having some kind of ridiculously explosive hairball puke-fest because they're eating the Outrageously-Expensive-Will-Magically-Make-You-Look-Ten-Years-Younger cat food.
Awesome:
Coming home to a clean house.
Not awesome:
A clean house with the exception of cat puke that is sitting forlornly in the front entryway. In the exact spot you just walked through.
Awesome:
Alice sleeping through the night until 7:00 a.m.
Not awesome:
Alice napping for a total of FIFTEEN MINUTES for the entire day. Yes, you hear me. Fifteen minutes. The entire day.
Awesome:
Finally getting to crawl into bed after a long and exhausting day.
Not awesome:
Stepping in yet more of the explosive cat puke.
Awesome:
Quiet.
Not awesome:
By the time she was finished, there were something like thirty garbage bags on the floor. To be honest, this was kinda awesome.
Awesome:
More quiet.
Not awesome:
That would be toilet paper in her hand. THE ENTIRE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER. How does a tiny person such as herself get from her bedroom to the bathroom, and completely unroll an ENTIRE roll of toilet paper in 15 seconds?

AWESOME: You. Sweet Alice. That you're coming HERE in 6ish weeks!
Not Awesome: The Boy has a cold. All the crap I have to do today. I have to teach on Sunday. I wish you were already here.
OMG that is too cute! Well, b/c it was your kid doing the destruction and not mine.
WOO HOO for the sleeping until 7 am. Not so much for the only 15 minutes of nap. It's all a karmic swing, isn't it?
Nothing, absolutely nothing can top this post. No one's "awesome" can even begin to compare to yours!
I'm with you on the hairball evidence. I only have one cat that does that about every other month now.
alice and my cats = same destructive powers. however, my cats are not nearly as cute, and they never look guilty.
I love your awesome and no awesome posts.
Whee! what a fun post. I think Alice is in the hamster-kind-of-fast division. Love the toilet paper pics!
I love the Alice Loo-Who look. I really miss doing that to my daughter!
Awesome: My daughter is going to be in the 1st grade musical.
Not Awesome: She has to be dressed as a squirrel, and I'm unsuccessfully making ears out of a headband and felt.
You are so funny! I love Alice's quilty face! Don't pets just drive you crazy sometimes? It seems like once you clean up one mess there is another lurking just waiting behind you!
