Jack-O-Lanterns

Darrin, Ben and Molly carved pumpkins Friday night while I was scrap booking. At first I was a little disappointed to miss it. But then I realized, no clean up for me was a good thing.

Ben was so excited to draw his own face--notice the 3 eyed jack-o-lantern??

Molly was content to scoop the seeds. I'm sure she'll have to draw her on face to carve next year.

Molly's Hair Cut

The top photo is the after photo. I took it after Molly's bath. I was thrilled to see her curls weren't completely cut off.

The middle picture is what Molly's hair looked like straightened and trimmed. Much better. I am so happy her hair isn't that straight all the time. I love the curls. Molly's favorite was when Sarah (the hair dresser) sprayed glitter in her hair when she was all done. "My hair sparkle-ee."

The last picture is the before picture. Sarah is using a flat iron to straighten it all out so she could see to cut it evenly. She cut off about 3 inches. Molly was so excited to get her hair cut that she did not move the entire time she was in the chair. Now I just have to figure out how to fix her hair again.

What's in a name???

Yes, I've started a blog. How excited you must be to be one of the first readers. Ha ha.

We've added a new family member. Meet Fred the Fish. Ben wanted to call him "Jack Sparrow, but just the Jack part." Molly wanted to name him Tree House. Somehow we ended up with Fred.

Fred seems to enjoy having been rescued from the back shelf at Wal Mart. He's been very active in his bowl. Choose him was difficult. Ben wanted a green fish and Molly wanted a pink one. So we got a blue one.
