Bad Hair Cut

I took Micah to get a hair cut on Saturday at the cheap place. I told the girl to trim it with scissors. She said that would take to long and she took the clippers with a #3 and buzzed his hair. I was so mad! I hate buzzed hair. Madeline said "Mom, did you pay for that hair cut!" So he is the current poster child for St. Jude's-- I know that's not funny, but I really hate his hair and hope it grows fast, since he won't keep a hat on.

Piano

The girls and I have been wanting a piano for a long time. Ronnie finally agreed it would be a good thing to get. We were able to get a brand new Yamaha keyboard. You will be able to see from the pictures that Maddy is pouting- she doesn't want to share it with Mackenzie and me, so she was not smiling in the pictures. I am going to attempt to teach them the basics ( I haven't played in 12 years) and there is a lady at the Church who only charges $5 a lesson which is much less than anyone else.

Crawling upstairs

Last night I noticed Micah was unusually quiet and went to see what he was up to. I found him trying to crawl up the stairs, he had made it to the fourth step. Today he crawled all the way up- that's 16 steps!

This is his reaction to the baby gate blocking the stairs, and mommy telling him NO MORE STAIRS!

Hair cuts

You can't really tell from these pictures, but I took the girls to get hair cuts before school starts. We went again to the beauty school and for 6 dollars both girls got their hair done. It only took 2 hours! They are very slow, but I have decided it worth it. Mackenzie had a girl that really knew what she was doing and she did the best that anyone has ever done, so we will ask for her again. Maddy had a girl that only spoke Spanish who was really slow, and since Maddy was wiggling a lot it took much longer. The girl kept calling her "little Chiquita". Maddy had also recently experimented with cutting her own bangs, so she is missing a portion of her bangs!

First Pair of Shoes

Micah poses with his first pair of shoes on. He looks like a little man.
Nothing like a good book, all the kids love books, which means they take after mommy in that area.

Hanging Out

I finally put Micah on his horse, he is semi- afraid of it, and was a little nervous sitting on it. He would have probably staid on it a little longer, but Mackenzie knocked him off of it. Getting acquainted with his horse. This used to be Mackenzie's when she was 1 1/2. She still rides it, but we have given it to Micah.
Tonight we had movie night, the girls each were able to pick out a movie to watch with Daddy. And they requested popcorn to go with it. Micah did not want to be left out so he ate some fruit puffs.
