Caught red handed!

LoriAnne is such a funny girl. She likes to see what she can get away with ALLOT! One of the rules of the house is food is only eaten in the kitchen and the dining room. As I was looking for her this morning I found her in the Dora tent, sitting in a doll stroller & eating an apple. She looked so cute and innocent. After taking a couple of pictures I sent her into the kitchen to eat her apple. A few minutes after that I found her in front of the TV eating her apple. Hmmmmm what will she be trying to get away with next ?!

Our Little Cowgirls & CowBoys!

My mom made these horses for the kids. She gave them the horses yesterday. Robyn, LoriAnne, & Michael had so much fun galloping around the house. My mom didn't just give them horses she also got them cowgirl and cowboy hats. What a great gift and so much fun for them! As you can see in the below pictures...Jonathan did not really want to have anything to do with his. I tried to get him to stand up with it but he refused. I finally got a picture of him with his cowboy hat on.

Opry Land

My dad arrived last night to pick up my mom and take her back home (she has been with us for 6 weeks now). They will be here until Monday. So we are busy site seeing over the next couple of days. Today we went to the "Grand Ole Opry Museum", the "Opryland Hotel", and "Opry Mills Mall".

The kids were so GOOD today. They enjoyed getting out of the house for the day. It was nice taking a break from "projects" here at the house.

We enjoyed walking around the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center. (I didn't take this picture. I was having problems with my camera today. So I only was able to take 1/4 of the pictures I had planned on taking)

At the Opryland Hotel they have this lady on stilts that is dressed up like this. It was really fun watching her move around. She is very flexible and she posed many different ways that you would see real ivy doing.

The kids all enjoyed watching the water falls and fish in the water.

LoriAnne actually got her head stuck in the fence.

Jonathan is a happy boy after he finished his lunch at the food court at the Opry Mills Mall.

My dad promised the girls a carousel ride after they ate lunch. The girls somehow talked papa into going on the "tea cup" like spinning thing.

Haircutting UPDATE

See picture in the previous blog entry for a photo of Robyn's hair (after the haircut). You can not really tell the damage that she has done. (thank goodness!) She really has soooooo much hair that it is easy to hide the damage. In the very front she has a small section she cut pretty close to the scalp. The rest of the hair she cut in random places but she left it long enough for me to pull the hair back at the top of her head so it is not noticeable. So I am thankkful that she is a better hair cutter then most 3 & 4 year olds :)

I sure love my "little helpers"

Robyn & LoriAnne have always enjoyed helping me in the kitchen. Now at our new house I have a FABULOUS kitchen with an island in the middle which makes it perfect for all the little helpers. I have really enjoyed cooking at our new house and I love all the help I have been getting from my "little helpers"!

How do I hide all my scissors from my children????

The picture below says it all!!!!!

I sent Robyn into my room to get a comb after her bath so I could do her hair. As I was combing it...big clumps of hair kept falling out. I could not believe my eyes...why would Robyn's hair be falling out in big clumps?! As I was trying to hold back the tears I asked her if she cut her hair. She answered yes she did. So I had her show me what scissors she used. It turned out she used scissors that you use to cut finger nails. Now I will be throwing those scissors in the trash. Robyn is lucky that she has ALLOT of hair so unless you knew what she did you probably would not notice. Unfortunately I did not handle this the best. I was pretty devastated. It is only hair and it will grow back right?! Luckily I got some good pictures of her already in her Easter dress so I will probably not be taking any tomorrow.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!
