The long and short of it...

Miss K has been begging for short hair for awhile, and besides the self inflicted hairdo when she was 5, it's been longer.....mom finally gave in.

We went from this:

To this:

Shadow

I love this pic for so many reasons:

Ahem!

Last we checked, she was a girl. Maybe she needed confirmation?

Hair Do's

Why didn't I think about using one of these to get the little elastic ponies out of Miss K's hair? This would have been helpful starting about four years ago and not just yesterday?

Trust me, much less crying from the both of us!

TV's are for watching...

Miss K: I want a t.v. in my bedroom.
Mom: Ha, ha, that is never going to happen.
Miss K: But, it would be really fun.
Mom: Nope, not in a million years.
Miss K: Well, when I get married I'm going to have one in my bedroom. That is, if you want grandchildren!
Mom thinking....well if that's how she thinks we're going to get grandchildren, that is alright with me!

This is what happens when Mom and Dad think she is sleeping.

This is her Amber memory box and has lots of pics of her Auntie. She has included all of her people from her Loving Family dollhouse and her family album Nana made her. I can't explain the red pillow (I think she gets her color identification skills from dad.), nor the 5 blankets I found stuffed under or around the "pedestal".

Catch up

* A couple of weeks ago for FHE we discussed Pioneers. We borrowed the Sweetwater Rescue movie from the library. About halfway through the movie, and after much discussion about the hardship and trials the Willie and Martin handcarts companies faced, Miss K looks up and says "Why didn't they just take cars?" Hmmmmmm.

*As of February 13, I am no longer employed. After working for the Company for almost 7 years, they are cutting my position. We really feel this was an answer to our prayers, even though the timing was a little strange. We have faith it will all work out and know He has a plan for us.

*It has been 55+ degrees for the last few days. We (as in us) are sooooo done with winter. I hope Mother Nature agrees! Miss K has a new bathing suit and is itching to use it.

I have done too many pictureless posts......will fix that soon.
