Hair Cuts

August has been asking for a short hair cut for a while. It took me a long time to actually make the appointment because I love her long hair and braids. We did it today and she loves it! I like it too. I guess it is her her new look for age six.

Film Festival

Our neighborhood still continues to surprise me with all the cool activities and involvement with neighbors. Last weekend we closed off a street and had a film festival. Neighbors contributed short films. Les showed his film documenting his weekend away with Skyla to shear the alpacas.

Good Morning

This morning I am still sleeping and I hear Jude's little feet as he is running down the hall towards our room. He gets right in my face, of course unaware that it is 7:00 am, "Mama, get up. Let's make smoothies and copcorn." The thing is...he is so darn cute. How could I say no?

Give It, Save It, Spend It

We recently started an official chore chart in our house accompanied by the girls first allowance. This inspired us to make these little cans to go along with an idea I have read about it. The plan is to have this be an introduction to learning to divide their money into the three categories of giving, spending, and saving. As a bonus, anything involving the glue gun is always a hit.
