The curls...are gone!

I was not looking forward to this day but Phil put his foot down and said, "Get that boy a haircut!"
We have had several people in recent weeks say something along the lines of..."Oh your girls are so cute!" "I see you brought both your girls..."
Oh Lord...look at his clothes!!! He is dressed like a boy!

Well, today was appointment day. My girlfriend Comfort also had a boy, Gage, with some flowing locks so we tackled the day together.
Caitlyn loved spending time with her best girlfriend Ava and even got a pretty braid out of the deal! It was so fun and both boys look so grown up and handsome with their new styles!

Check it out for yourself...

A Princess and a Cowboy

Time for Halloween...not one of my favorite holidays for several reasons. Phil and I went back and forth as to whether we really wanted to start this tradition of trick or treating but decided it was a great time to see our neighbors and visit with them. I admit, I was not looking forward to all the candy brought home as I thought about this upcoming holiday. About a week before Caitlyn said to me..."Momma, I don't like all the evil things that are displayed on Halloween but I do like to dress up. I was also thinking, would it be OK if I keep three pieces of candy?"
Oh bless her heart! She is understanding the importance of health and nutrition and is actually excited to keep THREE pieces!

Phil took the kids out to visit the neighbors and they had a great time with many good visits. When they got home Caitlyn had a big stash of treats! She was very excited to pick out her pieces so we dumped it all out on the floor. As she saw how much was there she looked at me with expectant eyes and said, "Momma, I have changed my mind...Can I have four pieces instead?"

"Yes my sweet girl, you may have four pieces!!"
