Daddy Day Care

Martin gets what seems like every other Monday off.  The Feds take advantage of all holidays, (Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Sweetheart Day, Grandparents Day, Summer Solstice Day) while us hard-working real-world corporate types suffer through five day work weeks.

While I am a teensy bit jealous at all of Martin's extended weekends, I love that he chooses to spend them with Peyton.  He could take her to daycare and have a nice, relaxing day to himself.  But, he jumps at the chance to have a full day with his number one gal.  Only one problem - all sense of order, rules, and structure flies out the window and chaos breaks lose.

Peyton convinces Daddy to let her wear sunglasses INSIDE the house.  Please note she is wearing a t-shirt with cows on it that reads "There are no kangeroos in Austria."  Daddy purchased it for her and I know he was secretly planning the day when he could dress her in it when I wasn't looking.  Also please note Peyton's hair looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket.  Knowing how paranoid Martin is about Peyton's safety, I know she didn't actually stick her finger in a light socket, but I'm pretty sure the brush, comb, and hair bows never saw the light of day today.

Because Daddy is wrapped around Peyton's finger, he allowed her to sit thisclose to the TV to watch Seasame Street. 

I wasn't quite sure what to do when I got this picture while I was at a work dinner.  Peyton is wearing the same blue dress she went to school in, but she has pajama shorts on underneath.  The explanation: "I changed her diaper and she insisted on wearing pants."  It also appears as if Peyton is picking her nose.  In fact, according to Daddy, she is eating her hair bow.
