First thing today, they went to gymnastics and had a good time there. Then after lunch I gave them a bath and gave Honey & Lovey new haircuts. They've been begging for a haircut ever since Sweetie got hers recently. I tried to talk them out of it but they were very adamant. I love their long hair but it is a bit easier to care for with less length & bulk. So chop chop off it went. I apparently only have one style choice as all three ended up with pretty much the same length & cut! I tried to make Lovey's dip a little longer in the back but didn't do it smoothly enough and had to make it even all the way around so she wouldn't end up with a nickname like "mullet head". :)
They were incredibly pleased with the results. I don't think they really care about the haircut at all, it's more the novelty of the change and the fact that for the next little while, everyone they meet will say "oh my! did you get a HAIRCUT!?!?!" It's a novelty and the extra attention makes them feel special. Pretty cheap for an ego booster so why not?
I was just working on the haircuts when Tulip & her mom came over. They've finished building their new house and now live much closer (2 doors down instead of 5 :). They ran all over the house, playing dress up, Thomas the Train, Rodsters, tea party plus just general running around pretending this & that.
Grandad arrived to work on getting boards cut for the playhouse deck and then Grammie arrived with Max but she had to go get some groceries.
Shortly after she left, Nicolle came by to drop her daughter off to play and the fun & games went up a couple notches. More running around, more dress up and then we got out the play doh. A quiet, contained activity but pretty messy. Never fear, Sweetie used her toy broom to clean off the table when they were done (and then I scrubbed it down with disinfectant!)
Tulip and her mom went back to their place for supper and then Grammie came back and then Nicolle & her son arrived for supper.
Grammie & Grandad were off to a bbq and we got our own supper served and enjoyed our meal. You should have seen the look on Nicolle's face when she heard Sweetie say "Can I have a fiddlehead please?" and then she stared at her to see if she was actually going to put it in her mouth (she did) and eat it (she ate most of it). LOL That child is a rare breed indeed.
After supper we all went for a walk down the street (with 4,246,825 mosquitoes & blackflies!) and the kids had more fun running and chasing. Nicolle's son enjoyed pushing the hot pink baby carriage the whole way. Too cute.

When we got home it was pretty much bedtime but these girls still had energy for dancing around, twirling and laughing their heads off.
