There's No Place Like Roam

So, about 6 months ago, Grahams hair was finally long enough for us to trim it into the shape that we wanted. Hunter had a friend with floppy hair that I loved and Jason's hair was in a bowl-type cut when he was two, so thats what we were going for. Well, in all that growing-out time, Graham McKinney decided that he doesn't take haircuts. Before we moved Jason was able to take him one last time to get it out of his eyes, but Graham wasn't about to get a haircut with me there. We all went to Great Clips in May and all the boys got their haircut, and I thought he may go along. No, he pitched a complete fit and tried to kick the lady, so we just left. It was a complete battle for me to even trim his hair out of his eyes, and I swear, if I did that one more time without cutting the back, he was going to have a FULL-ON Mullet. So two weeks ago, we decided to go for it. I bought Jason some new hair clippers and like all wonderful parents, we bribed him with chocolate cake. Whatev...

Well, here it is. We are finally able to announce, three months after we moved in, that we have finished rennovating ONE room in our house. Hahaha. Oh well, I guess thats life with three kids. Technically we will still be getting new hardwood flooring sometime next year, but we are done with the dining room for now. And now for the moment you (all 3 of you) have been waiting for.... BEFORE AFTER

The boys and I just returned from Panama City Beach. We were invited to go by my sister-in-law Lisa. The boys were able to play with their cousin Patrick, and we all had a good time. We toured Gulf World and were able to pet stingrays and caught Cars 2 while there was a thunderstorm. The boys (and the moms) spent a good bit of time on the last day hunting down seashells that were watching up with "creatures" inside them and watching them bury themselves back into the sand. Graham thought it was great! We missed Daddy and Uncle Scott, but we hope we can all go together next time!
