Around the House

... hidden "geocaches" around the house for each other to find.

... late-night soapmaking.

... a "fortune teller" on top of a cub scout uniform.

Also around the house: Last night before dinner, Spenser announced she wanted a haircut, which she has never had (besides cutting out a few twisted knots). She was very adamant. I asked her if she'd like her hair cut like mine. At first she said "yes," then she said, "no, like Daddy's." Hmmm. Thinning on top would not look so good on her. Then she said, "no, like the boys." Again, a flat-top is probably not the best look for her.

During the conversation I promptly got up and started hiding all the scissors. Who knows what she might do. It was so sudden. (The last time I got my hair cut, I asked her if she wanted hers cut, too, and she declined.)

Hiding all the scissors sounds like a smart move to me!
Perhaps you can look at some cute girl haircut pictures and she'll be able to make a decision.

I'm so glad you hid this scissors, although I'm sure it would make a very funny blog post if you didn't!

I love that your family is having so much fun with geocaching. Maybe I should hide some around the house for Joe to find!! LOL!!

oh no! glad you hid the scissors. Does she need to hang out with girls more? :)

trimming her cute hair into a bob would be awesome.

Soap making sounds like loads of fun.

Hope Spenser doesn't find the scissors!

I think the bob would be super cute too. Maybe there are some photos in a parents magazine or something she could look at?

(I can still clearly remember cutting the neighbor girls hair when we were 5. Her mother totally freaked out. I mean freaked out in a very scary way. LOL)

aaron's sister had a mullet from the time she was 4 until she was 8 and SHE LOVED IT.

although i do believe your little miss is a wee bit too young to make such a decision.

Thanks for the non-petroleum jelly link -- I have skin problems but hate to use petroleum byproducts!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
