Kids, school, dog

Callie has wanted to grow her bangs long.  Callie noticed that a young lady that Callie thinks is wonderful had long bangs, and Callie wanted to be just like her.  I detest hair in the face. I hate hair that falls into the eyes, so this was really hard for me to accept.  She finally asked for a haircut.  I asked if I could take her to the hair salon, but she said no.  I reminded her how her last haircut went.  She wanted it cut, I cut it and she screamed that I cut it too short and she hated it and she hated me and she was never going back to school and she carried on about how ugly she was for 3 days.  True story. Callie assured me that she wanted me to cut it.   

This is how long her bangs were.   

This is her silly face, and this is how she was suppose to wear her too-long bangs so they were not in her eyes.

I did not get an after picture.  History has a way of repeating itself and after I trimmed her bangs there was screaming and crying and drama.  So I didn't cut the rest of her hair and I did not get a picture!

However, school started this week!  Whoo-hoo!  The kids were up and ready early on their first day and I was able to get pictures.  Yay! 

Here they are, all ready to go.  So exciting!  This year Joshua is in 6th grade-and that's middle school here.  Marian is in 4th and Callie is in 2nd. 

I love these silly faces.  Callie and Joshua are making faces and Marian is cracking up at them.  What a great way to start the year! 


As a random aside, Callie decided the dog needed a bath.  So she gave him one.  Somehow, I ended up doing most of the work and getting extremely wet!  How is that, do you think?
Hosing down the dog. 

While not thrilled, Levi puts up with is unless he thinks there is an option. 

Drying the now-clean puppy!  I didn't realize that his grown up coat would be so thick and heavy.  The poor dog looks so scrawny when he's wet, and he was still damp hours later. 

Such a sweet doggie.  Rylee loves Levi!
