I just can’t figure it out.
On Friday night, we took the boys to Outback with some friends of ours. We recapped the rock story for her while Jack made all of his crayons “naked” (tearing all the paper off of them).
Saturday was relaxing… went running, cleaned the house a bit, and walked around Target with a girlfriend. Perfect day.
Sunday was Valentine’s Day. But you all know that, right?
I woke up to beautiful tulips and after going running with a girlfriend, I came home to fresh pancakes (with peanut butter and bananas, of course) made by my Valentine.
Last night, we went out for dinner with some great friends. We sat at the restaurant for 2 hours drinking fan-cee white peach and hibiscus margaritas, eating way too much chips and guacamole, and laughing at unsuspecting fashion failures people watching.
After we ate our weight in Mexican food, we walked on over to AJ’s and decided to do some window shopping.
If you’ve never been to an AJ’s, you should probably get on a plane and get on out here. It’s that cool. Amazingly beautiful bakery items, a sushi bar, a huge meat counter, and holycowthosearehugestrawberries produce. All at crazy expensive prices, but hey, you can’t have everything. Hence, the window shopping.
I did manage to snag a picture of their beer selection.. It’s Steve’s favorite part of the store:
And I left with only one frivolous purchase:
Because isn’t she the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? It’s a dish scrubber. With it’s own little holder. Her name is Nicole, but she has friends… you know, in case you need one too.
So, we ate, we shopped, we came home.
And then.
Because the rock incident of the last 2 weeks didn’t wear me out enough, we hear this from Pauline, our amazing friend that loves on our kids when we go out:
“I need to tell you something.”
OhhhKayyyyy…. What?
“Jack cut his hair.”
Of course he did. He’s Jack. I’m not surprised.
“I’m sorry. I sent him in to brush his teeth, and he came out with his hair cut.”
Yup. That’s the Jack I know. But don’t be sorry… It definitely wasn’t your fault!
We couldn’t get a good look at it last night because he was zonked face first on his pillow. So we waited until this morning.
Before:
After:
Beautiful.
He’s proud of it.
I asked him why he cut his own hair.
He said, “It was too long.”
I took him to get it fixed today and the hairdresser gave him a hard time.
She told him that if he does it again, he’ll be getting a mohawk.
I completely agree with her.
Short, short, short… ugh.
He’s still adorable.
He told the hairdresser that it was ok to cut your own hair…
as long as your Mom says it’s ok.
I guess I must talk in my sleep.

Why not just get him a flo-be – do you remember them? Uncle Tommy had one and it attaches to the vacuum cleaner so you cut your hair and then don’t have to worry about it. HHHmmmmmm…. maybe a great Christmas present. He would do Michael, Gracie, Rielly and gee, maybe Mom and Dad. And I know Uncle Marc wouldn’t mind. Yup – one thing off our list. A Flo-be
I think he looks very handsome! He’s very industrious! That’s a good thing! He said he’d cut my hair too, if I wanted! Think of all the money you can save at the barber shop! Uncle Igor cuts his own hair. Maybe he can give Jack some “helpful hints”
He is still adorable. You know, none of my 4 ever did that. But, they did much worse things:)

He’s still as handsome as ever!!
It is absolutely amazing to me that my Catie has never cut her own hair. Or someone else’s, for that matter. Pardon me – now I need to go find some wood to knock on.

Um, you’re tired because you live a chaotic life full of fun and energy-sucking activities, then you spend your nights talking nonsense to your kids rather than sleeping.
duh.
Looks like a FUN chaotic weekend though!

Awww, I think he’s handsome, but I’m partial to short short short hair on boys! I’ve even cut my boys hair a couple times. Although, after the last incident, I don’t think John will let me near his head with a pair of shears again. (Something about daddy dripping superglue on his head and it adhering to his scalp and mommy was the one who got to shave it off)
Oh wait, where was I? Oh right, Jack is is adorible and I love his new haircut. I can’t believe Jack didn’t jump at the chance to get a mohawk. My boys would cut their hair just to get one!

Gramma Teetsie cracks me up – the flo-be!! He still is a cutie and it will grow. Just be sure to hide the scissors next time :)

I just finished reading your blog; I’m tired, I think I’ll go take a nap. :-)
I have been waiting for a hair cutting incident but have been okay so far. At least he is a boy and it was easily fixable! Glad you had a great weekend!

This Christmas one of my boys (I’ll not name numbers) walked into the bathroom to wash his face and emerged with a BALD SPOT in the front of his head on our way out the door to the CHRISTMAS PROGRAM. Last night I was in bed by 8:10 I feel your pain. But a Flo-be? Really? That totally cracks me up!!!!
He’s adorable no matter what. My twins have cut their hair 4 times. It’s unbelievable. I just have to be glad they are boys. :)
I actually totally love his new hair cut. Very clean-cut and fun. And it puts the spotlight on his room-brightening smile!

Oh, I can’t wait for those days! Gotta love seeing that face though! I love Soren with longer, and with shorter hair too. Boys…so cute!
You miss me so much, you named the dish scrubber after me. I’m touched! :) Love ya, girl.
