As I'm writing this.. Aspen is up in her room having some "quiet time" for being sassy. So I'm documenting these photos to remind myself of how sweet she can be at times too.

It was great, the kids had fun playing with her and Clark and I enjoyed a couple hours of peace and quiet... or at least a meal we didn't have to cook or clean ourselves. We timed it so we came home shortly after the kids would be in bed. Sure enough, we came home to a nice quiet house. The babysitter handed me a little pink envelope that Aspen had given her to give to me when we came home. Inside was the following note:
