Baby's First Haircut

My little Chaser had his first haircut. This boy had a mop on his head. It had been driving me crazy for weeks but for some reason I decided I wanted to wait and cut it for his birthday.

Before
Look at all that hair! I'm not gonna lie, he was starting to look like a girl.



During

He got a little nervous when she used the clippers on the back but she gave him a sucker and he was a happy camper for the rest of the time.


Look at that face! Love him.



After

I'm kind of glad all that hair is gone but it really makes him look so big and that part I don't like so much. He did so good getting his hair cut and he looks so handsome!!

First Day

Emily had her first day of preschool today. She was very excited and has been talking about it for weeks. She had a minor meltdown when I dropped her off which was a little embarrassing since no one else in her class cried or even cared that their mom was leaving but she was fine after a few minutes. My dad assured me that in a week or so she won't even notice I'm gone and then I'll be sad about that too. Which is probably true!

She colored some pictures and played some games among other things. One game was apparently something where they had to say "hocus pocus" because she kept saying it in the car all the way to grandmas. When I asked her how to play the game she told me "It's not for moms. It's just for kids in preschool to play." Well okay then. Love her!

It's Tough Being the Little Brother

Emily clocked Chase in the eye while carrying her plate. I think we're going to end up in the ER more than once with this kid. Just a hunch.

A day at the park

Apparently the kids had fun at the park because later that night Chase fell asleep in his highchair right in the middle of dinner.

Peace out

I have read soooo many people's blogs lately where they've talked about how sad they are to see summer end, so bummed that summer is ending, blah, blah, blah.

Not me.

I seriously LOATHE summer. I cannot wait for it to end. Good freakin riddance.

I guess I can see why some people like summer because it's like sunny and stuff but it really just makes me miserable and hot and sticky and I get headaches and have to do yard work and deal with two little kids who want to be outside all the time but get overheated really easily and our car has no air conditioning so we have to stay home and our ghetto fabulous swamp cooler keeps our house at a balmy 79 degrees and I just really want it to be done.

Bring on fall and football! And summer, get the heck out of my life!

Babyproofing

I have always seen these toilet locks and wondered "What kind of maniac child requires you to lock your toilet? That's just insane." Well, now I know what kind of maniac child. This kind.

Mommy's Little Helper

As soon as the door to the dishwasher opens, Chase is climbing inside. Such a good little helper!
