LOCKS OF LOVE

I am definitely all for donations of any kind whether it is giving items to our local goodwill store or supporting the local girls scouts or cub scouts. However I believe that Mimi was given the wrong slip at school the other day. We are trying our darndest to grow her hair out and not cut it off as she has TWICE taken the scissors to her head. Finally, finally, finally it is back to the point of me being able to tie her hair into piggy tails. So I had to chuckle to myself when I saw this slip in her bag the other day.

Speaking of school by the way, we just received a phone call from the school district tonight in regards to a school board meeting that is coming up within the next couple of weeks. They are going to talk about our school budget cuts. That should be quite interesting to hear about.

AFTER THE SHOWER

When the kids came home, Maddie from down the street stopped by to help Mimi with her piano lessons while Halliwell watched. Then it was time for a delicious Mexican dinner at El Coporal. Mmmm good! Mimi discovered that she really likes the bean dip.

A BABY SHOWER

This morning started off with mom's new toy arriving at our house. With our tax refund check we were able to purchase a brand spanking new dishwasher. At the same time Katrina came to the house to help decorate for the baby shower that the mom's in our neighborhood had planned to give to Brandy (Halliwell's mom) who is due on the 24th of next month. Everything went well. It was a good idea to host the party while the older siblings (Mimi and Company) were in school. The younger kids played quite well with each other till they all had some on Janet's homemade cupcakes then things got just a smidgen hairy (it was sugar high plus tiredness) but then it was time to pick the kids up from school. Thank goodness. Phew!
