I must be getting older...

I have pink hair! I went for it... I always wanted to do it but well, I worked in corporate America and I couldn't really go for it. I didn't want them to stop paying me or anything! Jill did it on Thursday and chopped it off as well. It's pretty cute if I do say so myself. I have to go back and have her lighten the top a little more, my hair takes forever to go blond and well, the whole process took so long we were just DONE. I think we lowered her hourly rate to below minimum wage!



And I guess as payback Matthew decided to do something drastic with his facial hair. It's terrible. At least I have Jessica on my side. She apparently told him that she couldn't talk to him because it was too distracting. This would be a cute picture if not for the crazy hair!

Okay, it's still kinda cute!


And the other sign I am getting old? I opened a box of Lucky Charms on Saturday and I kid you not, they have got to be about 70% Marshmellow and 30% Oats. Disgusting! So I took a picture because I though no one would ever believe me! The bowl isn't even true to life since I kept taking them out to give to Duncan, who though the 70:30 mix was fantab! I shook the box and everything. I ended up adding Cheerios which worked perfectly by the way, even though Matthew said it violates some unwritten breakfast cereal law.

See, another sign I am getting old.




This reminded Matthew and I of a funny story from when we went to Lake Powell with a bunch of Michael's friends. Jared was eating his bowl of Lucky Charms one morning and he had carefully picked through the bowl and ate all of the little oats ones in preparation for the ever-rewarding, only marshmellow, final bites. Michael ran by, grabbed the bowl and dumped them right over the side of the houseboat. !SPLASH! and ran off after saying "Those are bad for you!" I think it's the only time I have ever seen Jared mad. Michael was in t r o u b l e! Hilarious!

So Aunt Jane sent me to some website that has like 50 dish rag patterns! It's fabulous! But after making a few I decided on my favorite and I have been cranking them out. I have plans on what to do with them that I can't quite disclose just in case the receivers read the blog (I am not sure if they do or not...) So you will have to just stay tuned to see where they end up. I bought a lot of the yarn to make them and they actually go pretty quick so if anyone wants a couple just let me know. Wendy came over to learn how to make them but I haven't got the update on how it's going. The cutest pattern wasn't the easiest... but once you get it down it's pretty simple. My other little project is on hold at the moment but I will get back to it.

Look how cute they are!


Beth came over to hang out on Saturday and it was fun, I was trying to talk her into bringing over one of her boyfriends so we could meet them and play games but it didn't work. She left early and ran off to their house. It came out that Matthew is rather intimidating to these strapping young men that she brings over! Boy are they in for it once they get to know him! He's not scary at all! (Except of course, the facial hair every now and then...)

This would be Beth feeding Duncan a rice krispie treat before bed, nice!


On Saturday we had a NICU meeting after they brought on a few new volunteers! Two that I know! It was so exciting to see those moms that I hardly ever see (except on Facebook!) and it was just a loud room full of chatty girls! We shared some inspirational stories to get things going. It was nice.

I took this picture of Tracy last weekend when they came over to play games. It was supposed to be a nice cute picture of him reading but Duncan lost it for some reason. Even Charlotte's not sure why. Tracy's face is priceless though so I had to add it!
