Hair

I think the worst thing about having girls is dealing with their hair.  its always tangled, there is always screeching, and coaxing them to sit still so I can put it in a braid or a bow in it is exhausting.  I often threaten them that I'm just going to cut it all of so they have hair like daddy.  That usually results in more screeching.



Elia's Picture Day.  Yes, I straightened it.

This is G's hair, not straightened.

This is her new hairdo.  Dare I use the word sophisticated to describe the way it looks?

Homework face.

We cut a few off Elia's hair too.

Even with the short hair, there are still tangles and bows and braids to whine about.  Less, but still there!

Car Washing

 

Sometimes we get crazy on the weekends and wash the car.

Labor Day Weekend

One of my teacher friends posted on facebook that as a teacher, Labor Day weekend is like the eye of the storm, craziness last week, a great relaxing weekend in between, and followed by a short but crazy packed week!  Its so true.  It was a fabulous 3 day weekend.  While I spent some time up at school on Saturday, Chris took the girls and Daria for a walk and then Saturday night we had another movie night.
Sunday was as usual- cartoons, church and lunch.  We went to the McBrides for a barbecue and it was great to catch up with them.

Monday Chris had to work (grrrrrr) so I did all the fun SAHM activities I could think of. We went to Tom Thumb and got lunchables,

 

went to the pool, read tons of books, and of course we baked.

We used a cake pop mold to get this shape.  (thanks Aunt Col!)

 

And decorated!

 

 

It was a swell, swell weekend!
