In the news

Good news:
Hunter's last day of basketball was today. (Have I told you before what a great player our boy is? Seriously. He's amazing.)
Bad news:
They lost both games of their tournament.
Good news:
They lost both games of their tournament. We were finished after 2 games!
Good news:
We went to Dairy Queen afterwards for some ice cream.
Bad news:
The chocolate part of my twist cone that I was so looking forward to tasted like 7-Up.
Good news:
They gave me a new ice cream cone and didn't even ask for the old one back. (Duh. What would they do with it?)
Good news:
Baby got her own child's cone.
Bad news:
Ice cream + tired 2 year old = a big fat mess.

Good news:
Tired 2 year old is now sleeping soundly in her bed with visions of ice cream cones dancing 'round her head.

The pic below is a horrible one to post, because now you know the state of my daughters' room. I had to post it, however, because it showed how the bug fell asleep. We had no idea why she was so quiet in there. Notice in the first picture the crown atop her head. That's pretty much glued to her scalp as of a week ago. It never comes off. Let me also draw your attention to her outfit. She insists on wearing dresses. Dresses over her other clothes. Not just any dresses, no. These are da-da dresses. Da-da means Princess, or anything having to do with Barbies or Princesses. Or it pretty much means anything that she can't (or won't) say. You get the hang of her language after spending some time with her, though.

Our girls love cleaning their room, and they take every cleaning session very seriously. And there are never any tears involved. Plus, you get to see all of our super sweet possesions and now you'll probably want to come rob us. Let me just inform you that if you do decide to take from the poor, we will know. Those girls have it all documented. They know where everything is and if you ask them to put something away, they'll let you know that it's already where it belongs.

Haha...how on earth did she fall asleep like that?? I'm not one to talk. I used to fall asleep on the linoleum in the kitchen.

ERMA, Ahhhh, the memories!!! I remember panicking when I couldn't find Natalie once....we lived in a basement apt, Mike was a baby, Nat was about umm 3ish, found her behind the coach, not much room between the coach and wall, but there she was, sound asleep....all tucked away just like your bug...Mike fell asleep on top of my feet once....(I was such a bad mom) while I was standing at the stove cooking dinner....yeah right across my feet, just layed down and he was out....craziest thing I ever saw...I guess I forgot to give him a nap that day...lol cute pics...and oh leave it up to you mom to eyeball the quilt right away! lol

Ha! We can't wait to have such cute little kids so we can see all the fun things they do. Maybe she was searching for a toy...and just decided to stay there.

I like your reporting style where the same fact pattern is both 'good' and 'bad'. It's good to see things from a few different perspectives.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
