Haircuts and Things

Gillian was so excited last week to get a haircut in an actual salon (Hairmasters). I can't believe that that was the first time I took her to get her hair done by a pro. She smiled the whole time and kept saying "I love it" about her hair afterward. Drew also got a cute new A-line bob.

It rained buckets and buckets a few days ago so I spent the day in my rubber boots. People in stores and the bank said I was pretty smart. Maybe not fashionable, but smart. That's just what you have to do living in Washington.

Gillian was home sick this past Monday. Drew and Gavin have both had strep in the past few weeks, and I've had bronchitis. Luckily Gillian just had a cold. Speaking of cold, this is how I found her at the computer when she was ill. Guess it's time to turn up the heat!


Halloween was fun. Gavin ordered a hazmat suit online and was..... a guy in a hazmat suit I guess. And of course the gas mask topped it off.

Gav helped me get outfitted for the trunk or treat at church. Basically we raided his closet. Funny thing is that Rebecca showed up in an army getup as well. We didn't even plan it.

Drew and Natalie Peay were Thing 1 and Thing 2. So stinking cute! She was nice and comfy and toasty warm.

Gillian was a Candy Corn Witch. Cutest Candy Corn Witch I've ever seen!

I told the kids to hide their candy from me but they didn't. Sometimes my self control is greater than others.

Today was kind of a rough day. Darren came home to pack for Scottsdale, I'm stressed out, a few tears were shed as I sat on my bed feeling sorry for myself. Gillian came in and saw me, went out and shut my bedroom door while Darren and I discussed a few things. Then I saw two little hands pushing a note under my door. It made my cry even harder when I read it. Man, I love that little girl! That note reminded me that the most important things in my life are living with me right here in my house and even though it's chaotic most of the time there are some very sweet moments. I'm grateful for my life, even though things don't always go the way I would like them to go. Life goes on, and life is good.

The End!

I like the Drew Bob. Everyone looks like they are growing up, except you. Why so sad?
