Ellie's First Haircut

I mentioned this yesterday, but Ellie got her first haircut. Eli was born with TONS of hair, so it was a challenge waiting until he was one…you know, so he won't go bald. Stupid wives tale!

Ellie has been another story, bless her heart. She has a mullet that likes of Billy Ray Cyrus and Joe Dirt would envy. Oh, and the said mullet is curly. Good times!

Basically her hair grows pin straight in from her crown to her forehead. Meanwhile, her "sideburns" grow straight down on both sides, and then there are the curls. Ya'll she's a hot mess which makes me soooo grateful for bows.

I was sorta sad when the stylist told me that some length would have to come off to help shape the rest of it. The long locks in the back were the only thing her "style" had going for it. Nonetheless, I believe the experts and trust their opinion, and she was right. The final product is much better!

As for the process. Prissy Sissy was a true lady. Eli went first and while she waited I told her that she needed to be a big girl and sit still like Bubba. When it was her chance to get in the seat, she was as proud as a peacock and seemed to like being pampered a bit…of course! When she was done, the stylist and I started clapping and telling her how pretty she looked. To that, she beamed from ear to ear and said, "Bubba?" Bless her heart, she needed Eli's approval!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought ...

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list. To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day. Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler. Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure. They slowly but surely warmed up to it. Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit. She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her. Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed. Thank goodness our y...
