Christen's Hair Saga


Ahh, summertime. . . Time to relax, have fun and for Christen its time to paint nails and hey - even color some hair maybe? Why not? We have some friends who had done a kool aid dye. We did this with the knowledge that is would wash out after a few washes. Really - that is what we were told --- so after a few weeks I got a bit concerned about it coming out. At least it would be out by school time right? Well - remember that I am catching up and her hair still has some pink. It actually turned out super cute and we have enjoyed it this summer. She has even learned how to french braid and she has let me play with her hair more. I gave her a few bangs and it was all good.


Well - until several days ago when I was thinking about school starting and I took matters into my own hands. I went into phycho mode and tried to bleach her hair myself. I will have to add more details later but it went wrong - very very wrong. So, she has a new cute "a line" hair cut - still with a little pink. I have profusely appoligized over and over - and even got my own hair cut short. Im just hoping that the dean doesnt give her a dress code violation on Thursday - her first day of school. Sigh...
Later -- well she made it though and didnt get kicked out of school! More on her first day of school in another post.



Major Catchup Summer 2010

Ok I have been so depressed about my blog! I finally have caught up on collaging and now have to do the posts and journalling. Than I need to catch up on everyone elses blogs. Where has the summer gone!? My two boys started school yesterday - Brandon a FRESHMAN!! and Trevor 7th grade in a different middle school. Christen starts 5th Grade on Thursday. I had a little suprise when I reaized that she had grown out of the crayon stage. -- I have a fairly good sized stash of school supplies on hand.

Anyhow -- heres to catching up.......

Swim Season is Here!


The day that our pool opened it was way too cold to swim and we were in Colorado Springs anyway, but this was Trevor and Christen's first day out of school. It was fun. The weather needs to be warmer than it has been to stay most of the day. We cant wait! I have started swimming at 6 am for the adult swim. Thanks to Raina for organizing that. I need a new suit though!
