Kids and Scissors.

What is it with kids and scissors or maybe there’s just something with Alex and scissors? It’s been almost a year when she found some scissors in the bathroom and cut her own hair, but Monday she again got a hold of some scissors, and don’t worry she knows not to cut her hair, but nobody said anything about not cutting her brother’s hair.



That’s right, Monday night while I was putting in some laundry she took about three good chunks out of his hair. Two chunks from the top and one from the back. It’s a good thing we got their Christmas pictures taken last week.



What’s funny is the last time Ally cut her hair was also the day after she got her pictures taken. I think from now on I need to make sure all the scissors are locked up before we get back from pictures; maybe that would help me salvage my kid’s hair.



Well it’s a good thing he’s a boy and I guess it’s not too bad.



Until next time

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Well, I haven’t really had much to blog about until today. Alex just loves playing in the snow. Almost every morning she wakes up and goes to sliding glass door in the kitchen to see if it has snowed and every morning she has been somewhat disappointed until today. This morning she came running out of her room asking if she could go outside. I wondered how she already knew that it snowed. As I walked by her room my question was answered. The basket that her shoes are normally in was turned upside down under her window. With all the excitement she had, how could I tell her she had to wait?



She wanted to make a snow man so I tried to help her but the snow was too airy and didn’t pack well. So after we played for little while I went inside and Alex kept playing. Next thing I know she came in asking for a carrot for her snow man. I told her we didn’t have any so she asked for some broccoli. Where do kids get these ideas? We did have broccoli so I gave her some. I also had to get something for a mouth and eyes. I did what I could. The mouth ended up being some ribbon and the eyes are the tops of pop cans that we have been collecting. She was happy and that’s all that really matters. Here she is with her masterpiece of a “snowman.” I can’t imagine how excited she’ll be when we get snow we can roll into balls to make an even bigger snowman.
