In the process of cleaning she found my keys, my social security card, and one of the girls' two hijabs, which Ana immediately put on her head. Well, I suppose that's where it goes.

Then we proceeded to build the storage center, and when I say "we" built it I mean to say that Ana built it by herself while Jenn and I sat around ineffectually. She didn't need us at all. At one point she had to shove a board onto several sets of pegs. It was balanced nicely, and Jenn, thinking Ana didn't have enough leverage, pushed down on one end. It see-sawed alarmingly. So I pushed down on the other end. Same thing. Ana, horrified, gave a huge sigh, declared she had to do everything herself, and proceeded to jump on and off the furniture, using her butt to effectively wedge the plank onto the pegs. It was freaking adorable. Especially since she was wearing that hijab. She's 127% more adorable when wearing things on her head.
