The Hair Cut

I've gotta write this one down so there won't be any arguments in future family discussion about how it all went down. It's been a while since this happend because I finally had to stop crying about it! Well, we had a bunch of cousins playing with us one day and right when Aunt Kelli came over Allie came running to the door. I saw her hair and after a minute realized it was cut to the scalp in like 10 different places all over her head. The picture really doesn't show the gravity of the situation.

 

I started crying and melting down because her hair was ruined. William had cut Allie's hair. He said "She wanted a Dora hair cut". Well Kelli took over, and I started cleaning up the PILES of hair chunks all over my couch. I was able to calm down a little after a while, Allie had absolutly no idea what happened, except that Mommy was crying and sad because William used the scissors on her hair. Even a few months later any time a hair cut is mentioned Allie says "that make Mommy cry".

 

I called Lacey and she came by after she got off. Lacey said it was the worst she has even seen or heard of-eek. It was pretty sad looking at Allie's hair the rest of the afternoon before Lacey could get there.We had no other choice but to use the buzzer. Before Lacey started she looked at me and said "Are you ok?" I said yup, and she started cutting it all off.

 

 

Here's the final result. She's been mistaken for a boy many times since, poor girl. I'm just grateful she could care less and still feel beautiful like a princess. William I think understands what a bad decision he made because EVERY ONE in the family talked to him about it, and still does give him a hard time even to this day-he'll never live this one down! We thought after getting punished for using the scissors on the blinds he was cured, but no, the boy used them again-on his sister. Hopefully the message sunk in a little deeper this time.

the dress

So when my mom was cleaning out her closet a few weeks ago us girls were all mortified that she we even put this dress in the pile to give to us! She wore it YEARS ago-majorly out dated-shoulder pads and all. Kasey told us to hold on a sec before I chucked it-she saw the vision. Kelli worked on it-and I ended up wearing it since it fit me perfectly. Didn't it turn out cute? We laughed a lot while Kelli was trying to fix it up! We weren't sure if it was going to cut it-but I wore it to church today and got 2 compliments! The dress lives on!

July

This is our adopted dog Harley-she mostly bull dog. She doesn't appear to be the most friendly but she really is a sweet, fun, dog who handled Williams daily riding's, poking, hitting, and bugging all day long. For that she officially is the best dog ever! We had her for almost a whole month while our friends were on vacation. We had lots of fun having a dog around-but at the same time have been reminded why we are not dog owners.

This girls is a danger to herself! Yup, she got majorly burned with 4th of July sparklers when Dave let her go for it. We had a huge 4th of July party at our house, the biggest one at our little house yet! Both sides of the families and few other assorted people. My husband LOVED it! He loves being the party house and he for sure was in his element lighting everyones fireworks off-he was happy to oblige. Once again, he couldn't contain himself, and once again we talked about why there is not a fireworks budget-oh well, we'll talk again at New Years. It was a great and busy night!
