Makeover Time!

I haven't had my hair cut or colored in almost 6 months (which is pretty typical for me). My hairstylist just laughs at me and always says "see ya in 6 months!" She recommends I get my hair trimmed and touched up every 6-8 weeks...but she knows I won't.

So, I finally have an appointment to see her tomorrow morning. I'm ready for a change but I can't seem to decide what to do to my hair. If it was up to my husband, I would keep my hair really long, have it dyed platinum blond, and always straighten my hair every morning. I told him I'm not one of Hugh Hufner's girlfriends.

Anyways, I'm not sure how crazy I'm willing to go. I've had pink streaks in my blond hair once and had red hair for a few months as well. Both were fun for awhile but I always seem to go back to my natural hair color (blond). So I was thinking bangs (although Tommy would kill me) cause they grow back quickly if you end up not liking them. Also thinking of chopping off all my hair to shoulder length (which is about the shortest I'm ever going to be willing to go...sorry).

So here's where you come in. I've gone online and did one of those celebrity hairstyle makeover things and posted the photos here for your enjoyment. I chose different lengths, colors, curly, straight, bangs, no bangs...whatever I thought looked OK.

Let me know what you think of the styles I picked. I need to decide by tonight what I'm going to do. And if you can figure out whose celebrity hair style I'm wearing in the photos below, I'll send you a surprise! Have fun!

OPTION 1:

Similar style I have right now just with waves and in red.

 OPTION 2:

Brown with bangs. I kinda like the brown but I don't think I would color my hair so dark. Just fyi.

 OPTION 3:

Shoulder length with curls.

 OPTION 4:

Long with curls.

 OPTION 5:

Just about exactly what I have now although this color is a bit lighter.

 OPTION 6:

Short, dirty blond with waves.

 OPTION 7:

Long, reddish, with side-swept bangs.

 OPTION 8:

Mid-length, light brown with waves.

 OPTION 9:

I kinda messed this one up. It's shorter on one side than the other. Short, and bright red.

 OPTION 10:

Streaky blond with side-swept bangs.

 OPTION 11:

Auburn and long with waves.

 OPTION 12:

Similar to option 11, just not as wavy...I guess.

 OPTION 12:

I kinda messed this one up too. Shoulder length, side-swept bangs, and waves.

 OPTION 13:

Blond, straight, and shoulder length.

 OPTION 14:

Bright red, mid-length, bangs, and waves.

 OPTION 15:

Messy rocker. Ha!

 OPTION 16:

Long, blond, straight, with bangs.

 OPTION 17:

Red, shoulder length, side swept bangs, waves.

What do you think? Now I didn't pick these based on hair color. I picked based on hair length and style. So don't think whichever option you or I pick means I'm going with that hair color. Just saying... ;)

Wordless Wednesday

It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood...

Ahhh...I'm beginning to love spending time at the park! With weather like we've had the past couple of days, how could you not!?

Pinkerton Park is an awesome park with a couple different playgrounds for children of different ages. It also has a one mile walking trail and huge grassy areas for people to lay out in the sun and fly kites (which I've seen ton of). The best part is the park is only three miles from our house! Tommy had the morning and afternoon off today so we took the boys there for some good ol' quality outdoor playtime. Here are some photos we took...

The Dog Days of Summer

OK, I know it's not summer (not even close) but it's been a beautiful and warm day today. Tommy and I took the boys to the park for some time to enjoy the sunshine and burn off some energy. I actually got some decent photos this time since Tommy came along. I'll be posting some of those photos later.

After we got home the boys were pretty hot from the sun so I filled up their picnic table with water so they could play with their sailboats. Well, they quickly threw the boats out and here's what followed...

Yea, they decided to play in the water. I should have known. They LOVE the water! They were soaking wet all the way through to their socks. They had a blast though so it was worth it.

Where there's smoke...

...there's fire.

I'm sure you've heard that expression. Well, I kinda got to experience it first-hand today. But thankfully not quite so literally.

While I was collecting all the trash around the house to put it in the trashcan so it can be pick-up tomorrow morning, the boys were playing downstairs and on the deck. Then I went to the porch to breakdown a bunch of boxes to put by the curb as well. When I got back into the house I caught a glimpse at Brayden and...OH LORD...where there is smoke there is fire!

Brayden was COVERED in black soot! I quickly ran to our fireplace in the dinning room and saw nothing had changed. So I ran to the fireplace in our living room and that's when I saw it...Hudson was pulling old burnt logs out and smearing them all over the floor. I never knew we had any old logs in there before. My mistake.

Apparently they were trying to eat the logs as well. Here are some photos for your enjoyment. I didn't enjoy it quite so much. The photos need no explanation.

I then quickly got them undressed, in the bathtub, washed, dried, diapered, dressed, and in their cribs for a nap. Whew! I'm exhausted!

You would think I would have learned my lesson by now. Whenever they are REALLY quiet, they are usually up to no good. Lesson learned. If there was one good thing about the whole situation (if I was forced to think of one) it would be the fact that the flooring is still bare plywood and all our furniture is still piled up in the corner of one room. Thankfully there isn't much to really mess up...besides my dignity. I'm off to clean the fireplace and wipe up my self-esteem.

This is my new favorite song...at least for the day. It's also one of her cutest performances.

How To Get A Good Photo Of Twins

Take One:

Get your fingers out of your mouth, Brayden. It's rude to show food in your mouth, Hudson.

Take Two:

Brayden, fingers. Hudson, don't rub your eye.

Take Three:

Again with the fingers, Brayden. Hudson, are you bored?

Take Four:

Way to go Hudson! A smile! Brayden...stop sucking on your fingers.

Take Five:

Crap...I cut off half of Brayden. Doesn't matter though...he still has his fingers in his mouth.

Take Six:

Not too bad Hudson but you're slouching. Brayden, do your fingers taste that good?

Nevermind...I give up.

I have no idea how to get a good photo of twins where they are both in the shot, looking at the camera, don't have food (or fingers) in their mouth, and both smiling. I'll keep working on it though.

Daddy's Shoes

Daddy got a new pair of shoes. The boys were jealous. They wanted to wear his shoes. Here's what followed...

I think they want to grow up to be like their daddy. And to me they look more and more like him everyday.
