He did it! He "taked" a haircut!

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. Whatever gets the job done, right?

Bless his heart, when he saw himself after it was finished, he said "I a boy now?". I'm assuming based on other conversations after the haircut that he meant a BIG BOY....but for a second I thought he may have been thinking he was a girl!

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
