Bathing Beauties!

It's amazing how when you become a parents your priorities change... and I am glad that they have. I remember one time before I was married how my mom sent my oldest sister some money for her birthday and told her to spend it on herself not her kids, and I remember thinking, why wouldn't she. Now that I am a mom I understand why she would spend it on her kids. Whenever I go to Target I don't look at my clothes I look at there clothes, they are just so cute, and despite the fact that they are so much cheaper at full price than mine are at a sale price, that helps to. One day this last week I put Daphne down for her morning nap and came out to find Sami in this laundry basket with a pillow from my bed and a blanket. I figured she was just playing and that it wouldn't last... so I started working on something in the other room and than I noticed after a bit that she was still in the basket, so I checked on her and she was out cold... I love when kids put themselves to bed, it makes my job that much easier that day, and I don't have to fight. I fight it more with Daphne than Sami, of course, but still. My girls love to take baths, and I am a firm believer in the fact that any bath has to have bubbles... Sami loves to cover her hair and face with bubbles but I remind her not to eat them... She was so determined to fit that letter in her mouth... so funny! I bribed her with a sucker to cut her hair. This is after I cut her hair. As you noticed in the previous pictures of her in other posts it was getting quite long... it was past her shoulder blades and it was thinning out a lot at the ends, getting scraggly. I have never had her hair cut or cut her hair in the 3 years she has been alive until this day. Her underneath layer was not the same length and so I cut the top to be the same length, hence the shortness. I love it, it is a ton easier to comb through, and I put some of my curling gel in it and it is so cute... she loves it, and her sister isn't pulling handfuls of hair out on a daily basis. Now her hair will grow at the same length and by the time it gets cut again it will be by her choice and she can sit still for a professional to do it. I love it though, it suits her, and it's not out of control... it curls a bit more this way too! Yes, Daphne made this mess... she loves to get into her sisters kitchen... i am glad we got it though because I know if Sami doesn't play with it, Daphne surely does!

So Dave is going back to full time work and back to 3/4th time schooling. We just couldn't afford it... with out pulling out thousands in loans... he will hopefully be getting the managers position at the Broadmore Outlet Mall GNC... he is excited!
