My Sweet Babes Off to First Day of School

Sam and Kate are both going to "school" two days a week from 8:15-12:20 and man my house is quiet...I can only imagine the withdrawal I will go through when they go to kindergarten. Now, I didn't say I wasn't enjoying the quiet and the ability to go grocery shopping all alone, but it is weird having them both gone. They seem to be enjoying their teachers and loving making new friends, and for that I am so grateful. Here is the picture of their first day:) They sure do know how to make a mama proud!

From Mullet to Marvelous!!

So, the first haircut for Kate was last week and for those of you who have seen or touched Kate's hair or lack there of, it is thin, wispy and a little on the "old man" side of things. Ok...it is appropriate to say "Bless her heart" right about now! She does get this straggly hair honestly as I was 3 before my mom could even comb my hair. Nonetheless, we did decide it was time to trim the ends and get rid of her fabulous mullet. We started talking about it about a week or so before and she seemed very excited, but unfortunately her stranger anxiety is at an all time high right now and she doesn't want anybody to be near her other than me or daddy. We arrived at Jelly Beans ( children's hair cuttery) and she was fine for the first 45 seconds so I snapped a few pics of her while she wasn't hysterical. After these shots it really got bad...not to be to graphic, but she got so upset that she actually got a little sick all over her shirt. Ahhhhhhh.........The end result was great however and we did manage to get a semi-straight cut across the back:) It looks much healthier and now we are going to start feeding her hair growth vitamins...jk.

The next haircut may be done while she is sleeping!!!
