Haircuts and Dr. Visits Well Brighton's hair was getting completely out of control (we hadn't had haircuts since the week before Dale was born, so it had been about 11wks) so last night I pulled out the clippers and the scissors and went to town on Brighton and Adaira. Brighton was first, and I left the top longer so he was pretty quick since I was just trimming the sides. Adaira is usually pretty easy since I trim it and then layer it a little in the back, but this time I accidentally cut the layers way to short and had to go with it. She ended up with a mushroom/Kate Gosselin type look but thankfully she's too young to care. It's pretty cute anyway, just not what I originally intended to do because I'm trying to grow her hair longer once I get her bangs to meet the rest of her hair. Justin brought home what is known as the "FLETC Crud," which is basically a never-ending virus at the training center that continues to infect since there are new ...
Halloween So I'm really not a creative person when it comes to Holidays. I don't sew costumes or look for anything original. Basically we go down the aisle at Walmart and pick whatever the kids want. Perhaps when they get older I'll have the time, patience, and hopefully desire to have more fun with this Holiday. For Halloween Brighton chose the "Gatekeeper"costume, not because he has any idea what the gatekeeper was, but just that it looked pretty scary and he wanted to be scary. Adaira was Snow White. She didn't actually pick her costume, I just happened to pick it up since she is in to dress up and princess stuff. I knew she'd love it and she did. The ward in Brunswick had a trunk or treat the night before Halloween. Let me just say that the ward here is so great! The people are incredibly friendly and helpful. Just yesterday the Relief Society president, who is about my age and has only been in for about three months, called me yesterday and chatte...
It was unseasonably warm here in Georgia so we had another chance to play at the beach on Halloween Day. This time we went to a different spot where the beach is huge at low tide, and off to one side is a HUGE tide pool that one can explore. Justin had a good time (I think) building this castle for the kids (you like Adaira's pose for the camera?), and Brighton spent some time digging out a moat around the castle (he only made it about half way around). We ran into another FLETC family from our ward and got to chat with them for a while too. The water seemed warmer than it was last week so I even got in a little bit this time. Dale went to sleep shortly after we got there which was great! I layed the back down on the stroller and put him in there and he slept the whole time, allowing me to actually "play" on the beach. The weather was perfect because it was warm enough to play but there was a nice breeze so I didn't have to worry about Dale getting too warm. Ada...
