Crunchy Hair & Time Off

Every Sundy amorning Connor insists that I gel his hair and spike it. He has really fine hair so it works out easily on him. Tyler is more of a challenge, he has my hair-thick and LOTS of it. TOday I decided to do that spike only the front thing and he was STOKED!!! I just laughed because all through church he kept saying..." my hair is crunchy mom, why is my hair crunchy?" By the time we got home he was asking why it wasn't crunchy anymore, but if you rub your hair for 3 hours straight the gel kind of wears out. These are pictures I took right before we left for church. Ignore the background mess.

I love Connor's face in this one, so typical Connor!!

So the company I work for was cutting hours so I volunteered to take this coming week off since I had no appointments anyway and the other employees are all pretty much the bread winners in their families and I am not. That night I realized that means I can actually attend my wards relief society dinner. First activity other than church in MONTHS!!! I told one of my ward friends and am now on the dinner prepertion crew. Yeah me, growing up and haveing responisbilities other than my family. I am excited to spend some time with my friends I haven't seen outside church in months. We already have a couple play dates in the works.

My other plan is to actually get my house CLEAN, not just liveably picked up but cleaning supply scents, vacuum lines, organized clean, but we'll see how long the energy and ambition actually last. Which reminds me of an interesting comment Connor's nursery teachers said today. They told me he was a very tidey kid. WHAT?? Connor, are you sure? The kid who LOVES to take every book off his shelf, dump his buckets of cars ALL over his floor and dump out all his toys all at the same time. How exactly is that TIDEY??? Yeah I just laughted and said, why do you say that? They said he is the best cleaner in the whole nursery. He loves to organize the crayons into straight rows, sort the block into their appropriate bins and so forth.... Why can't that behavior carry home with him, I mean come on, have you seen the kids floor, because I haven't for weeks, well at least not for more than an hour at a time. Well I'll put him to work in the morning and see if we can find that floor again soon. Wish us luck...
