Hairstyles

I ended up putting the side ponytails into twists the second week.












I took Evie to the local cosmetology school, and for $20 and less than two hours, her hair was washed, combed, and in this style that I'm hoping will still last another week or so.  I think it might be the best $20 I have spent on her!  Although my styles end up coming out looking good most of the time, I do get frustrated and fuss more than I would like, and it is a very time-consuming process.

Photo (and Video) Journal

We had a bird nest on our porch, and we enjoyed watching the Mama sitting on the eggs, feeding the birds, and the babies growing.  It was in a very precarious position, though, and as time went on the nest began tilting more and more.  Finally most of the nest fell down, and only the two much-larger-than-initially babies were left on a few strands of straw.  Since I hadn't seen the Mama in a couple of days, I walked over to make sure that the birds didn't need to be fed or anything.  One flew away, so I figured they were ok!


We have spent some time with my goddaughter.  I'm going to give her the blog name Boo - she looks like the character from Monsters, Inc.  She came over for a play date,

and we went to "Party at the Point," a local outdoor summer hangout with food and music, this week with a Journey cover band.  And the girls spent the whole evening building up this sand "castle."


One morning I walked into Evie's room and freaked out for a second because I didn't know where she was, only to realize that she was completely sideways in the bed!


Another hairstyle


This past weekend I picked up Evie's brother J for his birthday and took the two of them for a picnic lunch and then to a dinosaur event.  They had fun on the inflatables and dinosaur rides. 



Evie was doing so well in her swim class that she got moved up to the next class in the middle of her fourth session!

She is also (sight) reading so well... and sounding out some simple words. 
 


I watched Twin on Sunday morning while TT went to work.  And then she had an emergency last night so I got extra bonus snuggles in with that sweet baby.

Solo Hairdo

Last week was the first time that I created a hairdo all on my own without the help of my Go-To blog.  I made the two different types of styling with the intention of putting a headband in between the two, but it didn't turn out looking good that way so we just went with it as-is.

Hairstyles

The first attempt at a different hairstyle
 
 
 Christmas hairdo


The Valentine's Day 'do


Free Hair - I haven't figured out what the best way to maintain the free hair.  Combing it every night takes a lot of time; but not combing it makes it too tangly at the end of the week.



Triangle box twists


Twist-out.  This only lasted a couple of days because of the high humidity here.


Playing a dance game on the Wii.  I didn't get an up-close photo of this hairstyle, but this was the first one that I kind of improvised.  I started with a base style from Chocolate Hair, Vanilla Care; and modified just a little.

I may try the clover tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day.

Photo Journal

I did a little photo shoot for Evie's 5 year birthday and Tank's 6-month milestone (I didn't have any pics I could share from that one). 


With the help of the blog Chocolate Hair, Vanilla Care I decided to branch out with Evie's hair and get rid of the puffs and do twists instead.  
 
Pumpkin loves to snuggle with Evie
 
 
Thanksgiving Day craft time
 
25 books wrapped up for Evie to unwrap and read one each night before Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone!
