Ash's first hair cut

We said goodbye to the crazy curls today.  They were starting to be not so cute anymore and always getting all tangled...especially after he pulled on his hair with his spaghetti hands :)  

So, I got the spray bottle, comb and scissors and went to town!  Not really.  I was very careful not to cut too much off.  His hair is so fine and wispy and hasn't grown in everywhere yet so, there wasn't really a whole lot to cut.  But it was long!  

He did so great sitting in the chair while I cut it.  We get these movies from the library...Signing Time...and the kids love them.  So, I popped that in and he watched it and played with some various hair cutting accessories while I snipped away.  He didn't squirm at all which was a huge shock.  Even Chris thought he'd make it super difficult for me to cut it.  But he did awesome!  

Here are some before and after shots...

Here's my crazy hair before Mom cut it!
He was trying to smile for the camera...love it!

Look at that mess!

And here are the after shots...I love his lips here.

No more curls :(

My cute boy!!

Rainbow drawings

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, it was only appropriate that we talked about rainbows, pots of gold, four leaf clovers and the such.  So, we did a 'draw a rainbow' activity with no specific directions.  This is how their drawings turned out...

Chayce's rainbow

Vann's rainbow...the leprechaun is throwing his money over the rainbow.  And there's one four leaf clover under the rainbow because they're hard to find :)

After Chayce finished his rainbow he proceeded to make a story out of his drawing.  Are you ready??
Okay here goes...The red guy is Dad.  And Dad was pushing a storm across the rainbow.  The storm is the big green circles.  The blue lines near the top are rain.  Then the bat, little red drawing near top left of picture, started putting fire on the rain.  So, Dad threw glitter at the bat trying to get it in his eyes so he couldn't see.  But sometimes the bat would shake his head so the glitter wouldn't get in his eyes.  The glitter is the straight gray lines from Dad to the bat.

I just love their little imaginations!
