The Good, The Bad, The Haircut

Oh friends, it has been a week around here... 

And you will have to read all the way to the bottom to get the full story on the haircut situation.

so here we go:

The Good: my boys love playing together. 

The Bad: While I was mowing the lawn, they were teaching Wells how to go down a slide, head first naturally.

The Good: Look at that teamwork!

 The Good: I went to C's back to school night Tuesday thanks to my amazing babysitter who my boys (even people-hating Bennett) adore. We love you Ang!

The Bad: I get a little flustered dressing for real parent events and changed several times, but below is what I wore.

  (Side Note: Cullen's Kindergarten teacher clearly doesn't care about my outfit)
This was definitely another night when I wished so much that Kev was here. He is so much better at walking into a room full of people we don't know and making friends. I, on the other hand, sit in the back and twirl my necklace without making eye contact. 

The Good: After so much deliberation about where to send C to school, I know we picked the right one when I told him that he was going to skip school on Friday for my brother's wedding... he cried (Cried!) because he doesn't want to miss a day. 

(We compromised that he could go for a half day.)

Dress: Gap Outlet, earrings: francesa's, shoes: tjmaxx

 The Good: My friend Emily who works at STX sent the boys an amazing package this week. 

The Bad:  Saturday night, Wells had been up at 1 and again from 3-430am and I got so desperate for sleep, I decided to cave and make him a bottle. But then I realized I had no formula or regular milk, so I found some vanilla flavored protein shake mix and gave him 3 (very diluted)oz  in a bottle... And then lay awake at 4:46am, wondering if protein shakes can hurt toddlers. (For the record, they don't. But said toddler will still wake up at 6:07 ready to party for the day.)

So excited about their custom-made Team USA sticks

The Good: the first thing C does when he gets in the car at the end of the day is hug Wells, and then ask B how his day was. He has also told me that during prayer circle he prays that Bennett and Wells have a good day while he is at school. My heart is happy about that.

The Bad: I locked my (one set) of keys in the car on Sunday afternoon while trying to clean out all the goldfish on the floor. FYI for USAA members- they will send someone to unlock your car, in your driveway, for free...hopefully you will never need to know that.

brotherly hugs after school

 The Good: My boys love each other.

The Bad: they also often fight, argue, stress each other (and me) out

The Good: My boys love each other and I love them very much too.

And now, The Haircut.

I generally shower at night after I get all the kids to bed, but this past weekend, I decided to wait until Saturday morning to shower, as we were preparing to leave to spend the day with my sister in law and her family. I put Wells down for a quick nap, and then halfway through my 6 minute shower, Cullen opened the curtain to inform me that he "cut just one little piece of Bub's hair". I quickly chastised him for not using proper scissor safely, got dressed, loaded the car... and then realized that 'one strand' was actually 'a whole lot'.

After a very serious discussion about good decision making (and forthelove letting Mommy take a shower without worrying that someone will become bald), we took B to the barber for a hair fix.

 While we were there, it seemed right to get Wells his first cut too, and then he aged by several years. Why do haircuts do that?

The Good: My big brother and Fifi are getting married Friday!

The Bad: I'll be off the blog for the rest of the week.

The Good: I'll be instagramming (@Katedaffodils), and there will be boys in suspenders and bowties and no one wants to miss out on that. 

Have a great rest of the week!
