Ahhhh.....sunshine

It was a glorious weekend. It was a very busy one. From soccer to Paul's company picnic (now the "health" fair or something) to haircuts for all but Paul (he had his on Thurs.)

It was 77 Degrees yesterday and while we were inside for most of it (shameful I know but hey-laundry's mostly done!) While Mary did not nap on Sat. we gave her ample time to catch up on Sunday. One would think that she'd sleep like a baby since she did not have neither a nap nor sleep very well at night (with 102 degree fever) ...you'd think. OH No not Mary...she played, whined, yelled and sang for 2 1/2 hours!! Finally having enough, I got her out of bed and got Houghton and we went to my mom's house to play outside. We did some soccer and helped open up the motor home (stairs that move in & out with the door --big hit!!) Then we went to Target and got Houghton's valentines for his class and Mary some new barrettes (and mommy some new haircolor--to go with the cut!)

It was definitely a great day...it was one of those days you just can't be in a bad mood.

And where was Paul all day you ask?? STUDYING :) Of course!! I gave him leave for the day (like most weekends) He also had a Mens choir fundraiser/dinner performance in the evening.

On a side note--We missed seeing the Thompson's at the company picnic....and it threw off most everyone else...they were used to seeing our families together at the picnic!! It was just not the same!! :(

It's all in a haircut

Well, we had a busy day today....and at the end of it....Haircuts.
Houghton, Mary and I. (or is it me?)

I didn't realize that just having my hair trimmed up and thinned out could do so much.
I was quited exhausted from all of the running around but I love my new hair.

It's not all that different but kinda like Katie Holmes new do. (basically a bob)

I'm amazed that this little thing can do so much for my mental health!!

Yeah for haircuts!!!

Bowling

We were invited to a friends birthday party yesterday (I know before the game) and we went Bowling!!

It was a really nice place (you would NEVER guess by the outside!!)

Houghton did really well with the bumpers, Paul and I did ok (but still under 100!) Ok, I downright sucked!!! But we had a blast. I determined that sometime we will have to make it a date...or even a double date!!! Mary was too cute just being social....she didn't care about the bowling. She even missed nap for it...and was a trooper!

I have forgotten how much fun it is to go bowling and have vowed to go back again!

What's in a color?

Ok , so last Friday (2/1) while taking my ponytail out I notice something funny (funny weird not funny ha ha) I found a GRAY hair!!!! Yes, that's right one single lonley GRAY hair!! I plucked it right out and determined to find someone to blame it on!!! Considering my mother who is still very young only has 5...5!!! Ok maybe I am over reacting but come on....sympathize...do you remember your first one??? I am feeling old. at 32!!!
