Before & After

It's a pattern with me. I let my hair grow as long as I can stand it, then I drastically cut it off. I usually keep the shorter cut for six to twelve months, then gradually start growing it again.

Well, the time has come again. The longer my hair gets, the harder it is to manage, so I end up wearing it pulled back on a daily basis. Which is easy, but gets really boring.

So, I did a search online for some new ideas, and last Friday was the big day! I was close to having enough to donate, but not quite. And I just couldn't stand the thought of a few more months of letting it grow. Sadly, it all got swept away.

But here is a glimpse of the new look! Hope it shows up ok. :) The before picture was taken at Jacob's preschool Halloween party. The after was taken at Eagle Point Park in Clinton about a week later.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Hope you all loaded up on lots of wonderful candy. I promise you, we did here! All together the kids brought home more than I had to hand out. But they have been pretty good about controlling how much they eat. Above is a picture of the pumpkins the kids carved (with dad's help, of course!), and getting ready to leave for Trick-or-Treating. It's hard to see, but the green pumpkin had these cool LiteBrite type pegs punched in. It was a big hit with all that came to our door.

I knew it had been a long time since my last post, but did not realize how long until I logged in tognight. I really want to get better at that. But, what can I say? It's been crazy around here with field trips, class parties, PTA, trips to the pumpkin patch, and so much more! I hardly know where to begin. So, my plan is to get an entry a day for a couple weeks so you can all catch up on what's been going on around here. And instead of loading up the blog with pictures, I am going to upload albums to another site for easier viewing. I'll get a link up for you when that's done.

I'm exhausted from yet another busy weekend, so this will be short and sweet. I hope this finds all of you healthy and happy!! Please keep in touch, and check back soon!!

Love,

me
