Lipstick!!!

I dressed up for church today and decided to wear red lipstick too. I wore my hair up too and apparently that was the ticket for everyone who saw me to say how great I looked. It was nice to hear the compliments but especially nice to hear if from Adam.

When I got home I took my lipstick off and Katie really wanted to put some red lipstick onto. So we put it on her and she looks super cute. Then she wanted to put it on me. She did a really great job and we both have red lips now... doesn't it look great

Katie's hair cut

What did it feel like to get your haircut?

"It was so good"

What did you like most about having long hair?
"About that we can do elsa braids"

What do you like most about having short hair?
" About having the earrings and that they show that I can sleep in them because when my hair was long I couldn't sleep with earrings in that were dangling because my hair would get caught in them."

Do you remember the first time you decided to cut your hair? "When Becca cut her hair and she gave it to locks of love"

What were your feelings when your mom cut your hair?
"I was excited and sad. Cuz I got to give my hair away to someone. I was sad because my hair would be gone and it can't really warm me up anymore. Everyone loved my hair too and now it's gone. "

Do you plan on growing your hair out more?
"Yes and then you will cut it off again"
Mom: "No I won't"

Just Another Saturday

This morning we went to find treasures while garage sale hunting. We tried to go last week but it was raining and nobody was out.

When we finally found one this morning it was like Christmas. We headed out late so I was a little worried everyone would be done already. As we all hopped out, the kids each headed for a stack of toys. Katie immediately found a girl pile, Luke found some cars and quickly crashed them together. And Kevin was instantly hooked on a bag of stuffed animals. We even found a bingo set later which he totally loved but he still couldn't part with his stuffed animals. 

As we left we found a cool little park and ended up playing for almost an hour. The wind was blowing a little bit and the park had a canopy over it so the sun was there but not blaring its days right on us. 

We had a lot of fun and the kids and I will definitely be back.

We spent the rest of the day at Aunt cocos house with our cousins. Aunt Linda and uncle Dale are in town and they were able to spend some time with them before they headed to a sealing. 

Luke took his nap there in a pack and play in collettes closet. I moved it away from the sliding doors because I didn't want him to play with them. When I went to get him after he was done with his nap I found him sleeping among a lot of clothes. He had pulled a good amount of clothes off their hangers since he was close to them. What am I going to do with him. 

The kids swam a bit today even though it was super cold. Everyone was all done but Katie decided she wanted to get back in and jump. I sat by the pool while she toyed with the reality of soaking here'd with all that coldness. The ultimate decision was not to jump in but just to tip her head over and get all her hair wet instead. She is so funny. 

Luke got his feet in too and was so mad that I wouldn't let him sit there all night. I was worried he would not be able to get warm again fast enough. 

Before we got the kids in bed they helped me clean the bathrooms. They were getting pretty gross. I was hoping to surprise Adam and help him to feel our live for him. He has been feeling yucky today. He was able to come down to collettes for a bit tonight and I was glad he did. 

Katie has been scared at night lately. So for the last few nights I've been laying in ned with her until she falls asleep. I have to be honest I really actually enjoyed. I know I usually want to just get all my stuff done and get the kids to bed cause it's been a long day, but laying with her at night remind me of how much I love my children and how much I need to focus on them and nothing more.
