Bob's Your Uncle

For several months now, Sophie has been asking to have her hair cut short.  I made her wait to make sure that she really wanted to, but she kept asking!  So we finally did it.  Chopped it all off.  I was remarkably composed through it all.  It was good that I was taking pictures and couldn't think about it too much because I may have cried!  Sophie didn't flinch!  She had 12 inches cut off and has donated it to "Locks of Love".  At least all that pretty hair went to a good cause!  And she really does look so darling!  The lady didn't give her as much of an A-line as I'd wanted, but she did a great job!  I'm just not sure that I like how much older it makes Sophie look!

Halloween Costumes

I'm not entirely sure what made MAKING the kids' costumes sound like a good idea, but I won't be doing it again!  I really thought that throwing a few patches and some raffia on Briggs' existing clothing and sticking Porter through an old box with some spray paint would be a matter of minutes.  I planned to spend a little more time on Sophie's, but I told Tyler he was on his own and thanks to Old Navy, Sawyer was covered, so I thought I was good to go.  Not so.  I'm sure I spent the better part of a day each on Sophie's, Briggs', and Porter's costumes - although I did have a lot of fun with the spray paint and couldn't help even spraying his shoes. Then of course Halloween day came around and Tyler hadn't done a thing - claiming to have had no time (apparently the fact that he has had time to read most of The Lost Symbol this past week isn't relevant because it was almost entirely done in the bathroom.  Hmmmm).  But aside from the fact that I put many things I needed to get done on hold, it turned out great.  They were so cute in their costumes!  I'm so glad that they'll still let me dress them up!  It's just a shame that I don't have footage of them singing and acting out their parts!  Oh, and next year...we'll be buying!
