Just a few things for you today.
First, I had no idea we would get so many comments to enter the little contest. If you came by just to sign up, I hope you’ll stop by again and see what we’re up to. I will have to cut off comments at 8 am Friday morning, and then we’ll randomly draw for winners.
Second, I can’t wait until John is 4. I’m hoping this 3 year old attitude problem will go away when he’s 4. Today we had a screaming kicking fit that ended in him screaming “Go Away!” over and over and over again from his bed while I sat and calmly started reading the 7th Harry Potter book that was sitting on the floor until he gave up the fight to be grumpy and fell asleep for a MUCH needed nap. And I’m not even sure what the whole fit was about.
Thirdly, I got my hair cut yesterday, and if I do say so myself, it looks so cute! But then my beloved hairstylist, who has cut my hair for about 12 years now (off and on) told me that she’s getting out of the hair styling business. Her husband is no longer a struggling teacher or a starving student, he’s a lawyer, and she doesn’t need to have a job anymore. She’d rather spend more time with her kids. I’m going to try to convince her that I only come 4 times a year, and if needed I’ll cut it back to twice a year if she’ll just please continue to do my highlights. But if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to go out and find someone I trust to cut my hair. Humph.
And lastly, Robin took her kids and two of my kids camping last night, and they had such fun. They got to sleep in her newest Vanagan, and how much fun is that? Cool! Maybe the little kids can sleep out there tonight.
Summer’s screaming by, and there’s less than a month until the kids go back to school. I hope I can think of enough fun things to do to fill that time, and that we all enjoy the last month of summer together. (There’s also less than 5 months until Christmas, too!)
Less than 5 months until Christmas? What a scary thought! I am wishing we had more time this summer to hang out with the kids.
Holy cow – I just looked at your giveaway post and found 73 comments???? Good grief, the things you have to do to be popular around here.
How did you get in touch with our favorite hairdresser? I’ve been calling her for weeks without luck. Now where will we go…whoa is us!
OK, lets see a picture of the beautiful new you.
Oh, thank you for the five months till Christmas reminder! If I don’t start shopping for our big family soon, we’ll find ourselves in some serious Christmas debt come January. And that’s no way to start a new year.
I would also like to see a picture of your cute new hair.
I have a friend who goes to her hairdresser’s house for cuts and highlights. She’s been going to her since she was eleven or twelve. Maybe your hairdresser will do the same for you.
