More Hair

I decided on WEAC conference weekend, or Halloween weekend, the girls were getting their first haircut. So we went, we sat, Jodi, the stylist, cut, and we came home!! You might not be able to tell by the pictures, but I sure can ~ especially with the really fine comb I use to part their hair after washing. . . . . After we wash hair, I usually tease the girls about how much food they have in their hair (because of ALL the SNARLS!!) So we joke that Kidist has peanut butter and jelly in hair. You see PB & J is her favorite. And for Bayat, it's usually chicken, but the last few times it's been a fruit!!

So more gratuitous kid pictures~

Before picture~~


During haircuts~ Woohoo!!!



After hair cuts~~

Hair doo's

Just some fun pictures of the girls hair on a Saturday night~~ Pony tails. . . . They loved it. . .

Just another night at home

Ok, I don't stress about a super clean house, but I also don't condone a living room full of newspaper, but they were having fun. (smiley face)

Bond and I were reading the paper and the girls decided to take every (almost every) newspaper we had and lay them out all over the living room floor.

Story Time at School

Where to begin?? HUMMMMMM~~ Ok, it's Wednesday, did I mention before that it is parent teacher conferences?? BUSY!!

Ok, let's start here. At Adam's Elementary School, Kidist's school, the kindergarteners are invited to story night. It was on October 16th this year. Parents are invited to bring their student and their siblings to a small theatre at school where first the principal read a story and then other teachers and parents volunteered to read stories. . . . This lasted about an hour. All the kids wore their pajamas and the girls really enjoyed it. . .

They even got their picture in the Janesville Gazette! Of course totally engaged in the story!!

Be patient. . . .So I've not posted in a bit. . .We are busy people. . . . (These are all said with big smiles on my face :-) Anyway, B is home tonight and perhaps I can get a few minutes to load some pictures and write a few things. This will be my goal. . . Of course after I get my quarterly report cards finished. . . . Until tonight!! :-)

Speaking of Halloween

The girls are both going to be butterflies for Halloween! Yes, the decision has been made and not be me! I figure I'd let them be whatever they wanted to be and just go with it the first year! Yes, butterflies. . . . . I confess I did not make them, I purchased them, but hey, there were 60% off at one of my favorite fabric stores!! It was a DEAL! Bayat will be a blue butterfly and Kidist a pink butterfly. Today we tried the costumes on and they fit just perfectly~ WHEW~ Trick or treating is actually on Halloween here in the big city, so I will post pictures after then! Be sure to keep posted for some more gratuitous kids pictures!
