Firsts

The kids had their first four days right in a row.  Talk about fun for them.  No school Thursday, Friday then Monday and Tuesday all due to snow.  They had lots of fun just playing in it.  I am not going to complain as I didn't have to get out but Dusty still had to work. 

I also shoveled for the first time.  Talk about work.  Brady did help but it was still work.  The already driven on snow was the hardest as it was packed and heavy. And towards the end it was breaking off in really big pieces that were hard to pick up and just toss aside as we both were getting tired.

Shoveling the drive for the first time

Another first was Edgar and Paylynn both getting haircuts.  Edgar was long overdue for his.  But I just couldn't get myself to chop the curls off.  He had taken scissor to his hair a while back but that wasn't enough.  Not until I cut this one stray piece in the front to stop it from falling in his eyes was then I knew it was time.    Paylynn of course wanted in on the adventure.  She wanted hers cut to her shoulders.   I just wanted 3 inches off.   We compromised.  She got a haircut and I picked the length.

After

Edgar is groomed! He looks pretty handsome to me.  And he sat pretty still as the lady cut his hair.  She was really excited too.  She also helped me as I had no idea how to cut his hair.  She gave me some suggestions and I liked them.  And as it turned out so did he because he was a big boy and sat still. I also was given a keepsake card with his curl.  Paylynn was basking in joy at her first haircut too.  She was so excited and felt like the big girls.  Of course Emma and Hannah wanted their haircut.  But I told them later.  When later, I don't know yet. 

The kids are back in school and Edgar is still at his all time high of getting into situations of mess making. 



With God all things are possible.
