What a guy!

Quinn took Annie to the Enterprise Rodeo this week.  She loved it!
...And in other thank heavens for Quinn occurrences....  This morning I was moody.  I mean really rage-against-the-machine sort of stuff.  I couldn't stop targeting Q with all this frustration about stupid stuff like a shelf he didn't build in the bathroom or the central vac getting plugged up from our wool rugs. So Q really stepped it up. He just looked at me and then started cleaning!  I mean, he really cleaned!  He swept and mopped the floors, even moved the fridge to get underneath.  He washed the baseboards and window seals.  He cleaned the windows and did the dishes.  He shop-vacced the fireplace and dusted the entire upstairs. I think he may have even tackled some grout.  All this while I sat on the chair rocking a fussy baby that never let me put her down once today.  It didn't stop there.  After he cleaned house, he went outside and hosed off the porch, cleaned up the yard, and mowed the lawn.  I told my aunt who stopped by to visit that I didn't know whether to feel super elated or super guilty.  Either way, the floors are so clean we keep sliding around on them and I'm feeling much better.  What a guy!
