New

If you know me then you know that I get bored with my hair pretty often...although, to my credit, I've had the same color for almost 2 years now! Well...I've been bored lately and have been gearing up for a big change...



Ha! Not the color I was going for!! Lara had to put some filler on my hair before we could put the dye on it...here's the finished look:
Same cut...different color.

On our way to school

We walk to school everyday. It's a great way to wake the kids up and it serves as the dogs first walk of the day. Some days we're in a rush and there is little talking, but today we were doing just fine on time and so...there was some chit chatting going on...:

Hazel: Mama, you know Chad from High School Musical? The black friend of Zac Effron?

Me: Yup.

Hazel: I think he's even more cuter than Zac!

Me: Whoa!! Really? Cuter than Zac?!

Hazel: Yup. 'Cause he looks more like Daddy.

Monday

Celebrations:

*The sun is out again...it's a beautiful Spring day and the Dogs went to the dog park for a while this mid-morning. The kids got to play outside for all their recesses and we walked to and from school.

*Trey and I are going to see My Bloody Valentine tonight, the band, not the movie. Trey was the first person to introduce me to this band as I had really only been exposed to Amy Grant and well...Undercover and the like...

*We're getting ready for the 3rd annual Olympic View Hootenanny. August is currently working on his Robot costume as we're singing this song...he's so full of interesting ideas...not sure any of them will work...but he's full of em!

*New neighbors! That house on the corner next to us...the one where the guy sold it at auction and then tore everything out of it before the new owner could get in...and then the new owner had to start from scratch and has been trying to sell it...that one! The family just moved in this past weekend and they've been busy ever since. Trey made them cookies last night and the kids delivered them today. They seem very friendly and happy to be a part of the neighborhood.

Sunday

Celebrations:

*A nice mowed lawn (Thanks Trey!)

*Super church service this morning.

*Trey taking the kids to August's soccer game so that I can have a few hours to grocery shop and fix dinner...ahhhh...it's amazing what a little time to yourself can do!
