papa don't take no mess

as i'm sure you know by now, this pups loves to have a good time. having such a good time usually means that she eventually needs to pass out, hence the first picture in this post, taken on our free-from-work monday this week. eve did memorial day right by sleeping in, having apple juice for breakfast, and falling asleep in the evening on the porch swing. she filled the interim moments with skyping and indulgent consuming with the 'rents.

the rest of the pictures were taken this evening. eve is showing her special brand of mamaffection in this series. i'm never sure when the mood will strike her, but when it does, she gets very serious about her loving ways. tonight, i feel sure that she was trying to tell me how much she missed me. the pic of my pants was taken during her bath. it seems that if she can't cover my face in drool, then she'll cover my legs in bath water. what a sweet kid.

why was her affection so dramatically displayed tonight? you see, dear reader, eve was at day care for a loooong time today. it wasn't because we were both tied up with work things. oh, no. it was because we were buying eve her first car. after months of back-breaking contortions getting her car seat in and out of our little sedans, we gave up, sold the cars, and got a baba suv, by which i mean a small suv and an suv suitable for the baba. even though she probably won't drive it any time soon, i consider this to be eve's car. maybe if she's a really leggy eight year old, she can take it for a spin in some abandoned parking lot. it's possible. i mean, have you seen this kid?
