12/18 After the Haircut



Joel was NOT pleased with his haircut.

It was Tim's first one,
and really didn't look THAT bad.

But we cut the last of his summer Red hair out.

Do you remember that he got his hair died back in July
when Aunt Rhoda, Aunt Ruth
and the cousins were doing a hair dying fun day?


And it wasn't the haircut that he was upset about.

He LIKED being a cute red head.

Even if there was only a smidgen of it left on the ends of the top of the hair.




Hiding in his closet.






Finally really looking at it in the mirror.




Trying to NOT laugh at his silliness.








Pretending his shirt is his hair.

I did this as a kid too...
don't they all!




Dad checking out the hair cut.




Deciding that wearing his hoodie for the rest of his life
will be a great idea.

Yeah, that lasted most of the afternoon ...
and then he got hot.





MEANWHILE

In the kitchen,

Vannan was busy learning how to
embellish melt and pour soaps.




And my kitchen was

Grand Santa Workshop

12/18 LaRue's Learning Days



LaRue is firmly in the
"I can do it myself" phase ..
and
"It must be done THIS way every time" phase.




She decided it was HER job to unlock the back door.
Every time that the door had to be opened.

So she found a set of keys ....




and for several days,
she "unlocked" every door that she came to.




Until Big Brother asked to have his John Deer Tractor keys returned.




Singing
She LOVES singing.
Mostly she sings Donut Man songs
and songs from other tapes that she enjoys watching.

We are super picky about the stuff the kids are allowed to watch
And while they might watch 6 hours of TV on a rainy cold day ...

It might also be the same 3 tapes repeated and sung and reenacted
over and over.

Since Dad disconnected the internet next door,
I can't say that we do not miss the TV ...
But then it isn't much missed.

What we do miss?

Joel misses Wild Kratts and a few other learning shows.
Vannan misses Liberty Kids and CyberChase.
Tim misses the cooking shows - Iron Chef and Sweet Genius among many others.

And I miss Storage Wars and a few other House hunting shows.

But really - most of the time, it wasn't on,
so we don't miss it.




LaRue helped pack a box that we shipped.






Trying on Vannan's old shoes
.....

and they were too small!

Vannan wore these when she was 2 and almost until she was 3.




LaRue made TONS of these.






I just LOVE when she grins like this.

And I was delighted to finally catch it on the Camera.




Snacking (chocolate) and reading brother's
Sunday School paper.








Sitting in one of the baskets
that we used for our Spa Baskets.

She got a little miffed when I took it away...

which was almost funny,

but she got over it.




I'm not sure why she spent so much time
SITTING
in this basket.

Maybe she liked the wire on her toes?
Maybe the second handle made a comfy seat.

I don't remember who got this
basket ...

but if you don't want to use it yourself,
feel free to return it to Ruezy!

She would think you hung the moon!

Dec. 18 - A Haircut



The Daddy noticed his boy
resembled the boy in the story "Mop Top".





It's quite an old book.
I remember reading and giggling over it at his age.


BUT......

Since none of the Aunts had time to cut the hair.
and Grandpa hadn't taken him away (he has once or twice).

Daddy did it.




Doesn't he look excited?




Don't cut off my ears!!!






How do these things work anyway?

(just kidding - they needed oiling)




UGH

Mom!

Joel's loosing his hair!!!




Look Mom!






Ugh...

Must find a trash can.




Mom ...

GO AWAY!!!

You can't fool me...

I STILL have two ears!!!

Busy Learning - Late Feb 2011



LOOK WHAT I FOUND 

in the draft box.

Did I publish a different copy? way back when?

Who knows.

But here's how much the little ones have changed over the last year.

Enjoy!







You can see, LaRue stays busy
exploring her world.

Whether it is trying on sister's shoes 
or opening bottles and boxes.





And here is Joel!

Carefully coloring a pattern with his new crayons!




And LaRue LOVES Kendra's telephone.

(she refuses to believe that it is JUST a calculator.)
