Brylin has been begging me to put a video of "just her" singing on the computer for months now and I have yet to do it. So here it is, promise fulfilled.

WHAT A DAY!

Oh man what a day, I almost wish I hadn't gotten out of bed today. My day started with a phone call at 6:45 from my hubby letting me know that he had gotten that dreaded call from his boss that he was being laid off. We knew it was coming I mean how many layoffs could we survive in the Homebuilding industry....it was only a matter of time. If anyone has any leads for Lance send them our way :-). I am just glad they paid for school!

Kallie got two more teeth pulled to make room for the permanent one's that decided to come in before the baby teeth had fallen out. Then we went and ordered new glasses for Brin, bad timing what what do we do tell our 5 year old that can barely see too bad. Besides I am going to make the most of our 2 weeks of benefits! Let's cram in as many appointments as we can I'm up for it!

Off to cook and clean, lucky me anyone got any simple dinner ideas??

Saturday Fun!

Chopped again!

I know most people have a story about their children cutting each others hair.  Well our first one was the night before Kallie started Kindergarten she chopped Brin's hair trying to make her pretty.  I franticly called Melissa to fix it and it ended up so cute I loved it.  However I am big on the long hair to be able to pull it out of their face practically everyday, so we have worked really hard on just trimming her hair and growing it out.  3 times now this year Brindley has cut a little bit off the front of her hair.  Who knows where she is finding these scissors I have about a dozen pairs up on top of the fridge and still still finds weapons of destruction. So once again on Thursday she chopped about 4 inches (a good chunk) off the front of her hair.  Honestly it doesn't look bad, it kind of looks like layers so my question is do we cut it back into a bob or leave it as layers?  We can't decide what do you think?Take our poll to the right and help us decide!  Here is a picture of Brindley 30 seconds ago with her new layered look and the other picture is of her cute bob from the first incident almost 2 years ago.  HELP!!  My only fear of cutting it short would be that she would cut more off and then we would be in BIG trouble.
