Busy as a Bee

We've been busy here with stuff in the past few days. Saturday along with all the other Saturday things we do, Rich went and bought me a freezer and brought it home so now I've got a freezer in the garage to fill up with yummy foods. :)

Yesterday was Memorial Day and it was a good day. That morning the kids were willing to help me clean the bathrooms and I put them to work. While I was upstairs cleaning that bathroom, Alyssa managed to find some hair scissors and chop off a chunk of her hair. :( it's the hair right in front beside her face and she cut off about 4-5 inches. Now instead of being at her collarbone length, it's between her chin and ear. The good thing is that she has so much curl in her hair, and the rest is still nice and long that it really blends in. You don't notice the chunk of shorter hair unless you are playing with her hair, or looking really closely. I'm undecided whether I'll just leave it be and slowly cut an inch at a time off the longer hair untill that section catches up in length, or if I should just give her a shorter hair cut to even it out sooner.

Later in the day Ashley and I went and got haircuts. Ashley has been wanting bangs for months and so I got my hair cut, and she got some bangs cut and a trim. I should have taken some pictures of her before the cut. The bangs look really cute on her- even if I was hesitant to let her get them. :)

Then we had a family come over for dinner and the evening. The kids had a great time playing with their kids and Rich and I had fun just socializing with them. It's something we need to do more often- get out and socialize with other adults together. :)

Then I stayed up till midnight working on the dresses for my girls and niece for my sister's wedding. I hope they turn out fine and are fine for wearing anytime- not just for a wedding...

Here's a picture of the front part.




Today I got up and sent the kids off to school, and then made a batch of bread. A friend came over and used my wheat grinder to grind up some wheat and then we went to a scrapbooking day at another friends house. I got a bunch of scrapbook pages done. :)













Both Alyssa and Angela fell asleep on the way home, so now I have a brief moment or two of quiet before they wake up and the big kids come home. We'll be going to Incredible Pizza tonight for dinner and some fun- Alex got two certificates from school for an adult and child to go for free, so we can't pass up the opportunity to take the whole family for the price of one child admission that we'll have left to pay. :)

Oh... my quiet time is over... Angela's up. :)
