My life is filled with blessings. I have a fabulous husband. I have 3 beautiful children. My house is a mess and
there are chickens in my backyard. What more could you want out of life?

Girls Weekend (Plus Jack)

Beau and Elijah took their annual trip to Junction for the Men's Camping Trip.  Sadie was upset she couldn't go so I told her we would have a girls' weekend and she got all excited.  She had all these ideas that we would paint our toe/fingernails, fix our hair, "make" (bake) and on and on and on.
 
 
Jack helped me with the laundry before starting our weekend of fun.  By "help" I mean he scattered it all over the room, I would gather it back up, he would scatter, over and over...


 
Sadie put herself down for a nap Friday afternoon.  She was still recovering from her illness earlier in the week.




Friday night we stayed up late and watched a movie...



Saturday we got started on our project...cookies for the teachers at a local school.  It was my month to take treats.  They were having STAAR testing so we made star cookies...


Its probably the only time in my life I'll be grateful I have 3 different sized star cookie cutters.


All done!!



While we waited we painted our nails!!



Then we decided on a haircut.  Sadie wants to keep her hair long, but she needed a trim so we headed outside.

After:

Looks much healthier...

 
 
A while later I was reading Sadie a book an noticed a piece of hair that was cut really short.  I thought I had just cut a bit too short, but when Sadie turned around and looked at me I noticed what the real problem was...







Yup.  She cut her own hair.  While I was messing with Jack and finishing the cookies.  Did I mention we have family pictures coming up soon?



I tried to fix it, but she cut the bangs in the front way too short...
I tried to be mad, but when you know something is inevitable (Sadie LOVES to cut things...she says its her favorite thing to do) its hard to be too mad.


She said she likes her hair much better now because it doesn't get in her eyes.  Can't argue with that much.  Except we did have a LONG talk about only cutting things AFTER you get permission!
