Teaching Them Young

They need to learn sometime!

Big Changes

The girls barely had long enough hair to donate and so we had dramatic hair cuts.

Hair Cuts and School

The girls are wanting to grow their hair out and so for haircuts this year I just trimmed everyone's hair.

After three long months of no school and terrible heat, school has begun! The twins were so excited to go to first grade and eat lunch at school and have recess. I'm pretty sure they thought they won the lottery (if they knew what that was). Jo Jo was up before her alarm went off and Miss Annie wasn't too far behind. They had already decided what they wanted to wear and how they wanted their hair for the first day.

It is crazy that my little twinners are in first grade. It will definitely be a change with them being gone all day.

They both got Mr. Escobedo as a teacher. They are so excited and we have heard that he is awesome with the kids.

It will be a crazy and fun year!! Excited to watch the girls grow and learn and do all the things that little girls do!
When asked after school what their favorite part of the day was, Annie said "eating lunch at school" and Jo Jo said "recess". Love them!

Change

After three years of growing it out (it grows SOO slow), I decided to cut my hair. I really didn't want to do another Vegas summer with long hair and GiGi has had a lot of fun pulling it any chance she gets. So off it went.

Before (the only recent picture I have of the length.)

After

Ty has been telling me lately that she wants her hair cut like Repunzel, but I kept telling her not now. I LOVE her hair and I really didn't want to cut it. Finally after about a month of her telling me this, I just decided to cut it. Not super short, I still need to be able to put it in a ponytail most days. :)

After. It is a little bit shorter than the pics. She does not sit still and so I had to do a second round of touch up.

Another Hair Cut

I decided to go shorter with Ty. I'm not so sure I like the back right now, it needs to grow just a bit.



I think she looks cute though and I think it will be nice for her to not have it on her neck.

Hair Cut

I have been needing to cut Ty's hair for awhile now and so this morning I decided to do it. I set up the computer with Little Einstein in the bathroom and got everything ready. She was excited and she sat still through the whole thing. Such a good big girl!
Here is a before...


Here she is after...



I think she looks way cute and so grown up.
I wonder if I should go shorter?

New Look!

Scarlett in the closet with the scissors!






At least they look gorgeous with short hair, or I would be in trouble!

Hawley's New Hair Cut and Permanent Marker

Every morning the girls get into bed with me and wait until I wake up. Today was not any different except when I woke up I leaned over to get my glasses and I saw something that looked like string or hair or something on the floor. So I just looked at it trying to figure out what it was and why it was on my floor and then I looked at Hawley and saw what I have always dreaded--Hawley had cut her hair. I just looked at her and said "Oh. My. Gosh." She looked at me and with such excitement said "I cut my hair!" I couldn't believe it. I just kept saying 'Oh my gosh' while I went into the front room and there on the couch was all of her hair. I even started to cry a little. I was in shock and I knew that to try to fix it it would be completely short--all gone. I still can't believe that her beautiful hair is all gone. I guess one thing about it is now people will be able to tell them apart. The lucky thing about hair is that it grows back, although Hawley's hair is the slowest growing hair IN THE WORLD!! Well as I was cleaning up the hair (which isn't the easiest thing when it is everywhere) I called Jenna and we volunteered Joy to come and try to fix it. I can trim and do a few other things with hair, but there was no way that I was going to try to fix this myself. You can still see a little where she cut some cause it was so short, but Joy did a good job and I'm glad that she took a little bit of her Friday night to come and help out. Thanks Joy your the best!






Joy and Jenna


If you thought that that was all that I had to write you must have been thinking of someone else, because I swear I have my work cut out for me. After all of the hair and stuff I decided to take a shower and left the girls watching cartoons. When I was dressed I decided to check on them and they were no where in sight. I went to the kitchen and there they were on the counter eating tootsie rolls and drawing all over the counter, microwave, and the cute letter holder Ali gave to me with PERMANENT BLACK MARKER. Luckily they didn't get it all over themselves. I tried to get it off with the magic eraser, but to no avail.


I'm not sure if I can handle anything else today. Lets just pray that that is the extent of the excitement for today.
