Mannies and Peddies

Both our Moms have taken to getting Steph gift certificates to the spa down the street from us for massages, manicures, and pedicures recently. These gifts are very much appreciated, but they do pose a bit of a challenge -- it's almost impossible to predict when she'll have a 2-hour window free during the week (the windows exist, but you can't be sure you're in one until it's over), and it's hard to schedule appointments on the weekends. Holding an ever-growing baby who knows how many hours of the day was starting to catch up with her, though, so the desire to take advantage of one of these gifts was getting closer and closer to a need.

Fortunately, we're a two-parent household, and being back to work full-time doesn't mean I have to work all the time. Steph was able to get a Saturday appointment, and she took off for a few hours of pampering today, leaving me alone with the boy for the afternoon. We had an uneventful day (literally -- I got absolutely nothing done), but we did meet our primary objective -- to make Steph's hands and feet shiny and pretty. She says it was unplanned, but when she got home she noticed the nail polish color she chose is remarkably close to the color of Evan's little lips:

It was also almost identical to the color of Evan's evil red eyes, but I used Photoshop to fix that so you're none the wiser... pretend you didn't read that last line.

Here's another picture showing their lip-fingernail chroma synchronicity where Evan is also sporting one of his cute-and-goofy smiles:
