And They're Off!

Three children in school ALL DAY! I have to catch my breath! Wow, the house is so quiet and .... cleaner. The boys LOVE school. Lauren reported on her first day that her locker partner was the "meanest go-wel (girl)" in the whole class, she cried during art class, they didn't get to play with the toys in the room, and had to wait "FOREVER" to be picked up once school was over. She didn't want to ever go back "never again."

But just as mom said, her second day was terrific. They played with toys and she didn't cry "too much." However, her locker partner is still super mean and got in the biggest trouble --which I think delighted Lauren.

Rapunzel Cuts Her Golden Locks

After five years of combing through the snarled rat's nest at the nap of Lauren's neck, I decided it was time to just let it go. Every day was a battle- crying and whining over the sight of a comb. Occaissionally, her hair looked adorable. But mostly, she looked orphanish... where is that child's mom? Why won't someone pull that hair out of her eyes?

That look wouldn't be any better in kindergarten so I finally broke down and had her long locks cut. We went to Sweet n' Sassy in Southlake. It's decorated VERY girlie girl. There were lots of little girls getting mani's and pedi's- - at which I had a twinge of jealousy-- and Abigail danced on the runway/stage.

The cut is fabulous. The hair lays beautifully! They sprayed it with a fun sparkly hairspray. Getting ready is about 3 minutes without whining!!!!! Why didn't I do this years ago???
