Daddy turns 34

We had fun celebrating Daddy's birthday last week.  Nora and I made granola and Alena decorated the package.  Everyone was excited to sample the birthday cake!



Both girls had to show off the birthday cards that they made at Ms. Pam's.  Alena also added to the festive mood by drawing rainbows on paper and hanging them up in the doorway.

Haircuts

Alena had the great idea to cut her own hair Wednesday after preschool.  She cut off most of her bangs to 1 inch, then butchered some side hair.  She was very proud of the haircut, but it was driving me crazy looking at it.  She said that her bangs were in her eyes and that the hair "fell out."  Then she started carrying the hair around in a ziplock bag like a trophy.  I think the stylist did a pretty good job of making it look decent.  As long as this never happens again!  I thought it would be a good time to introduce Nora to a haircut while big sis was doing it.  She actually did a great job!  She sat pretty still and didn't scream. It probably helped that "Lady and the Tramp" was playing on the TV. Her hair is so pretty and not too mullety so we just got her a little trim.  There are no after pictures, because she had to go straight to her nap (and it is barely noticeable.)
