bye bye hair

sweet cheeks has her daddy's hair color but sadly my hair texture. it consists of a thick, sorta straight, sorta wavy hair. her hair is pretty straight in the front and very wavy in the back. as it grew longer, it got more messy. i have been trying to convince her for a while now to go short but she was not interested. she just said, "i want long hair." but saturday, i won my battle. all it took was a bit of bribing on my part (yes, i believe bribing and parenting go hand in hand). sweet cheeks was promised a trip to claire's after her haircut for a purse and lip stick!


here is her before picture-




and the fresh new do which, in my opinion, was totally worth the trip to claires! i love it on her.



we went to a friend's house on saturday night to celebrate his 35th birthday. it was a great time and the kids all loved playing together. the dinner was a shrimp boil and sweet cheeks was so proud of herself for eating shrimp!
