Wisdom from me to you

I just happened to learn today that hair grows approximately 1/2 inch per month. Thought you should know, in case it ever comes up in trivial pursuit or something.
I am really trying to not let this hair situation bug me, but if you've ever met Lauren, you know that she has had the BEST FREAKING HAIR EVER! It's dark, lusterous, thick and exactly the kind of hair I wish I had. I loved to run my fingers though it and pet her. The outside part of my heart, the part that contains trivial nonsense such as how one "should" look, cracked today, just a teeny tiny bit. I'll admit, I'm not proud of it.

The hairdresser steps in to assist

It is a bit of a Gosslin cut but honestly, she couldn’t look bad no matter what. So, here is L with her new ‘do’. The plan is to go in every other month for a trim till it grows in on the crown, then we can start letting it grow out. This is the only way to cover up the buzz that she gave herself to the crown.

We have a cutter!!!

Lauren cut her hair today and her sister helped. Awesome. She now has bangs almost to her scalp and a lovely Kate Gosslin-esque mohawk down the center of her head. Off to the hairdressers tomorrow. A friend mentioned a pixie cut as a possibility. We shall see. Perhaps a buzz cut would be better? Argh!

Owen Wilson as a Great Dane?

I'm not buying it. I took 4 neighborhood kids, along with mine to go see Marmaduke today. The kids loved it...me, not so much.

K on perogies

I figured since it’s summer and the girls are older, we’d try some new foods. Today it was the potato filled dumpling known as a perogie. K’s comment: “it’s kinda wonderful and kinda gross at the same time”

I’d also like to take the time to thank the brilliant minds at Wendy’s Corp. for subjecting me to the below mentioned song for another day. Thanks a lot Wendy’s. I don’t know how I made it this long without hearing that song all day every day. Now my life will be divided by the sadness before Reunited, and the blissful after.

I'd also like to thank the girls, seriously this time, for getting along so well this morning while I'm cleaning. So far, no hitting, screaming or fighting that I've been called in to mediate. Sweet!

Reunited by Peaches & Herb, accompanied by K and Blueberry

With a special guest apperance by L

It’s so great to see you again!

Happy Fathers day to all of the great dads out there! I am really honored to know so many wonderful men who are enjoying their “dadness” & especially my wonderful W who is the definition of a great dad. W & I enjoyed a nice lunch out sans kids with two other neighbor families at Dunderbaks. Then we came home & W napped and now we are headed over to a neighbors for swimming and steaks. Does it get any better than that? Nah

Those of you who travel with kids are probably aware that Wendy’s is giving out karaoke cd’s with 4 songs on them. We have a couple but for some reason, K was struck by “Reunited” by Peaches and Herb. So we listed to that about 20 times on the way home with the requisite sing-a-long during our 2 hour drive home from Lake City yesterday. That was fun.

So to relieve ourselves of ever hearing that song again, we let her take the cd into her room where she can sing-a-long-all-the live-long-day for all I care. Then Woody got the camera. See for yourself but don’t say I didn’t warn you. LOL
