Happy Easter
Just Smiyl!
I think Anna realizes I’m sad about her hair. So she instructed me to “smiyl” today:
Baby Curls and Big Girl Hair
The girls got hair cuts this afternoon. Carolyn just needed a trim, since we’re trying to grow her bangs out and get some length to it. But Anna really wanted short hair like mine (shoulder length, not really short) and so I let her. I didn’t realize that what was left wasn’t going to curl up so much. It’s cute, but…oh, how I will miss those long, silky ringlets.

Taken last week, but I couldn’t resist:
Watch Out for Feet-Eating Monsters
It has been unseasonably warm here. Like, open all the windows, do we maybe want to consider the A/C…nah, not yet…, break out the shorts warm. But I’m not falling for it. I haven’t switched to our summer bedding, so for now the quilt stays on…and gets kicked off every night.
Well, Anna saw it on the floor this morning (no, I hadn’t quite managed to make my bed yet, the stinker gets up at the crack of dawn) and became quite concerned. She solemnly informed me that I had better put the quilt back on the bed tonight, because…
“If you don’t have your quilt on your bed, the monsters will eat your feet.”
Straight face, matter-of-fact tone…I’m not sure if she was serious, but man, she’s going to have a tough time when it gets too hot for her quilt every night if she was!
(Now tonight I’m going to wonder if there’s a feet-eating monster lurking under my bed.)
Air Fuzzies
This morning, as I was brushing Carolyn’s hair, Anna was jumping from sunbeam to sunbeam in the hallway, clapping her hands as though to catch something in the air. She had a look of absolute delight on her face.
Me: Anna, what are you doing??
Anna: I’m trying to catch the air fuzzies!
I like “air fuzzies” much more than “dust motes”. It sounds less like I really need to vacuum. ;)
Raking Leaves
It’s pretty easy to get the girls on board with raking leaves when there’s a promise of jumping in the big pile at the end!
And now the payoff:

(Yes, it’s a bit past Halloween, but since I featured Carolyn’s costume last week I thought it only fair to put up Anna’s pictures this week!)
Happy Halloween!
We had a fun and busy day today! I didn’t realize that the Primary school parade would be going on right as I arrived to deliver treats for the class party, so Anna and I wound up being able to watch all the kids in their fabulous costumes. Turns out there were two mummies in Carolyn’s class, but she was pretty easy to pick out!
Then we dashed home, went for a quick piano lesson, and dashed back home to await pizza and friends for trick-or-treating! We had a good time walking around the neighborhood with Joey & Nikki, and got much farther than we’ve ever gone by ourselves…which translated to a lot of candy!
