Time for school.....


School starts here on Monday, August 11th. I have one child thrilled to death to see her friends again and the other, well, not so much..

We have our new book bags, lunch bags (there bags now, not boxes) and new shoes. They wear uniforms and believe it or not they all still fit from last year, thank goodness. It's tough buying uniforms AND regular clothes too, not to mention the amount of laundry I do when schools back in session. They wear their uniform to school and then as soon as they get home it's into their "play clothes" which to most kids is the clothes they went to school in, then later pajama's. Lots of laundry!

So when we were in Mt. Vernon, Skylar and Ally were always doing each other's hair (french braiding) and Skylar wanted me to learn how to do it too. I figured with another girl on the way (who probably won't even have hair until she's 3 or 4 years old like my other two kids) I'd better learn how to braid. I googled it and found a very helpful video on youtube. I didn't do too bad for my first attempt if you ask me!! Apparently though I was really pulling on her head cause she hasn't asked me "practice" since.

Good job mom! Practice makes perfect...I learned by french braiding my own hair.
Don't count on that 3-4 years thing...Brady would have hair down his back if we hadn't cut it every 6-8 weeks!
