Pigtails and Crewcuts!

One item on our Spring Break to-do list was haircuts for both kids.  SJ has had a few homemade haircuts, but I thought it was time for him to get a real trim from a professional.  He fights the home haircut pretty seriously, and I nicked his ear last time.  So, I was hoping that he would be more distracted with the Pigtails and Crewcuts atmosphere.  They have special chairs, tvs to watch, and lots of exciting things to look at while getting your haircut.  
Katie Anne didn't need much done to her hair, but she was very upset about getting a trim at all.  So, I thought she might accept a haircut better from a professional and enjoy it more in a fun atmosphere, too!

SJ's "before" shot - what a smile!
 Here they are- getting ready for their trims!

 He likes what he sees!
He's excited!
 Katie Anne got about an inch trimmed off her long locks.
 SJ got a lot trimmed off the sides, a little off the top, and a lot of shaping done to his 'do!
 Pretty serious and seriously pretty!
 Little man living it up!
  SJ started to get restless at the very end of his haircut, but a lollipop from his sweet stylist Ms. Swan!
 Time for his blow out!
 What a cutie!
 Look how sweet that new hair cut is!
 Precious boy!
 Katie Anne's trim looked fresh and neat, too!
 No need to worry, KA - she's still got her long, lovely locks!

April Fools!

Hey Mommy and Daddy - did you think you were going to sleep in this morning?
APRIL FOOLS!



I don't think the kids had any idea that today was April Fools when they decided to surprise us with an early morning wake up call, but it was a funny coincidence that they choose today to hop in our bed with books and snacks early this morning!



If you've got to wake up early, at least it is to see these sweet little faces!

The Color Run!


Today, my running buddies and I ran our first 5K race - The Color Run!  This is a crazy fun race in Piedmont Park where volunteers throw cornstarch-based "color" on you as you run!  It was totally wild, totally messy, and totally fun!  We had a great time!

Before the race... so fresh and so clean-clean!

After the race... colorful but nasty!

We had such a great time getting our colorfulness on!





 



 After party - Color Throw!
 Whew!  The Color Cloud choked you just a little bit!
 Our GoGo Juice helped us win!

Katie Anne's Easter Egg Hunt at School

Today, Katie Anne had her Easter Egg Hunt and party with the PreK! 

They made a whole morning of it and went to Dellinger Park.  They had a fun time playing basketball, going on a nature walk, having a picnic lunch, and hunting their eggs!  






Katie Anne was excited that both Mommy and Daddy got to come to her morning out, although not at the same time.  Saunders took off a few hours in the morning and hung out with her at the park, and then he headed back to work.  I came to see the egg hunt for about twenty minutes on my lunch break because today was a critical day for me at work (my class had their egg hunt and party today, too).   No one took a picture of Saunders and KA together, but I did ask Mrs. Bolen to snap a picture of KA and me!

It was a fun day, and Katie Anne had a great time!

Special Easter Shirts

I made the kids special shirts to wear to their school Easter egg hunts this year.  I'd seen the idea on Pinterest, and I actually used a dish towel that I found at Target for $1.99 as the fabric for the eggs!  

KA's new shirt:

SJ's new shirt:

SJ wasn't really into taking pictures in his new shirt, so I got a crazy smile...
 and a pouty face!

The shirts were really easy, and I thought they turned out really cute.  I'm proud of them!
