Justin and I have been searching for a used Trampoline for a while now, then the other week Grandma and Grandpa Chipman found one and got if for the girls!! Unfortunately GandG had no way of getting it down to us, and so while they were on vacation we made a little afternoon trip to pick it up in High River. We hadn't told the girls what they we were picking up, but once we told them- their faces were excellent!!
We even took it one step further and stopped at THE Candy Store in Nanton! Justin has been waiting a full 27 YEARS to stop at that store, and he finally did it. Honestly it was pretty cool, the displays and the choices and the Wilton Cake things!! The girls each got to choose a pez and lollypop each- and in hind sight I think this made the ride home even longer!
The girls were super excited, hoped up on sugar and could hardly wait to get home, in fact... they were so excited they were horrendous on the way home. So Mom and Dad switched drivers and Daddy entertained them with a "party" for the rest of the ride!
We pulled into our backyard at about 6:00 and got the trampoline set up fairly quickly- even with the girls "helping"! It was so cute, K kept dancing around and saying "Thank-you Grandma! Thank-you Grandpa. I Love you!" The tramp has been up for 3 days now, and the girls have been on it NON stop! In fact they both have been sleeping like rocks, its great this trampoline is wearing them out!! Another BIG thanks to G and G Chipman!!
So Next day, we had a hair party at our house. Meaning- 17 people and 11 of us had our hair cut or dyed!! I'm sad I didn't get a pic of everyone who got their hair done, but the house was kinda a revolving door... people in and out constantly and kids everywhere!!
Love the "line up"???
I have been meaning to give K's hair a trim for a while now, and when she saw my hair in foils she seemed ready and willing to go a head with her hair. Then once I tried to get her to actually sit down for the cut she started to cry and get upset. But FANATIC JESSICA stepped in and managed to get her to do it.
Once Jessica got started K grinned from ear to ear the whole time. It was so cute! He hair didn't go through a big change but she got 2 inches off and layers put in. It sure makes her hair fuller and look thicker.
As K was getting her hair done A kept saying "me hair, me HAIR" this coming from my child who loves having her hair done and is very particular about her looks. A didn't need her hair cut- but Jessica sat her down and put the cape on her and pretend... and A was as happy as a clam!
This little blonde lady-face has me a little worried, already conscious about her hair, looks and clothes- she's 2!!
Here are some of the girls that got a hair cut! It was regular party- I am telling you!
Amelia- I missed getting a photo of you!
TJ- I missed your trim too
Miles- We were cooking noodles
Shannon- Cheese ball I was eating I missed you too
Tisha- I should have got a shot of you with your hair being dyed!
Here is Mommy- with her hair done. I have to be honest- at first I was so not sure if I liked it...
BUT after having my Justin tell me he likes it, and after doing it myself this morning, I really like it!
This frumpy mommy feeling is almost gone- not quite gone, but that will happen in a couple of weeks or so.
Oh and can I just say I HATE having my picture taken by myself and as a close up!!
But I am really liking the blonde-ness in it. I even put on makeup today!
Here is the pile of hair that 9 hair cuts produce! It was crazy- Jessica had such a long day! I am sure her arms felt like dead weights last night!
Oh and you should have
seen the house yesterday! TALK about DISASTER!
So special thank-you to Justin for cleaning the basement, while I ran off to a RS meeting!
