Locks of Love

Before:



After:



On Tuesday, Claire gave 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. She loves her new haircut, and so do I! Today, we celebrated with a "girl's day," complete with a new pedicure, crafts, and a trip to Chocolate World. We also stopped by a sunflower field for some beautiful (and fun) pictures.

Life after Vacation

It's hard to transition back to our normal routine after vacation. I came home feeling overwhelmed with all that I need to get done this month, and Claire came home feeling like there's not enough for her to do. This was a conversation we had about it this morning...

Claire: I don't know what to do.

Allie: We were just away for a whole week and hardly had any toys, but you didn't say that once while we were away. Now that we're home and you have a room full of toys, you don't know what to do??

Claire: I just don't know what to do.

Allie: Well, I have too much to do, maybe I could share some of what I have to do with you.

Claire: Maybe it's because you are too busy, and Stacy and Jimmy aren't here.

Allie: Good point.
