SUPER HERO DAY!!!! It was a windy windy day. So much so that something had to be done. I threw on blankies on the kids and instant superhero activity.  We had such a good time, we just ran around and let the wind beat us up. Finally the rain followed the rain and we called it a day for superhero-ing.



Now that it is cooling down we can get back to some outdoor activities. Park time!


Snowcones on a sunny day just can't be beat. Jude and Alice were talking about their blue tongues for days after. 


ALice is her own girl, that is for sure. The first video of her is scolding the rain and telling it what to do.
 ALice is often taken my fits of "sadness." I call it her "Disney Princess" mood. She will find a place to sit or lay and just sigh. Then look at you to make sure you are looking...and sigh. Then she will laugh about it but then....sigh. She is so my Disney princess.


Wow, It's been almost a month since I posted.  To be perfectly honest I forgot I had a blog. Summer is over and life has gotten busy.
 
I often get asked if Alice's hair is natural.  I nicely tell them "yup it is natural, you should see his brother. We are ust a curly headed family." But in my head I am sarcasticly thinking, "No it isn't natural, I put my wiggly not even 2 year ols=d daughter to skin searing curling iorns. She loves sitting still for 2 hours every morning while I curl her naturally straight hair." That just seems like a silly question to me but I get it at least once a week. Not to say that Alice's hair doesn't get any care. I have to comb it and when I say comb it I mean attack a giant birds nest on the back of her head. She tosses and turns constantly in her sleep. She must for her hair to get so tangled. I use a home made detangling spray( conditioner and water, nothing fancy) a brush, and slow strokes for about 15 minutes. I try to go really slow and hold her hair while I go or else it hurts too much and she starts to cry. Sometimes it get too bad though and crying is jst going to happen. Suprisingly after all is said and done she has beautiful shirley temple ringlets that stop grammies and grampies in their tracks.
