I am not one to really wear jewelry I am just plain jane - jeans and a t-shirt. But while I was blog surfing for a moment today I say a link to this chicks brothers page.... he makes this jewelry on etsy.... here I think it is kinda cute... and decently priced too
here are the ones I like :
So this morning we were sitting there and I was looking at Dallen's hair. It needed to be cut badly so I told him to go get me the clippers and we would go cut it before church. So I cut his hair and it looks all nice and pretty much bald. So I tell Claira to come out back too and I will cut hers to. Her hair is way too long. She can not reach all of it to properly brush it and it is quite scraggly in the back. So I take my first cut and she says "I do not want it that short" - well it is too late now it has already been cut. So I finish up and she looks in the mirror and starts crying. I tell her to get in the shower and wash off and I hear her in there bawling. Like someone had actually killed her dog or something. She comes out of the bathroom still crying her eyes out. She put her hair back in a ponytail and will not take it out. So I said forget it we are not going to church crying like that - so we stayed home.
Hopefully I can get a picture of her hair cut later today. We will see
I thought I would be a nice Mom and take Dallen and his friends to the bowling ally for his birthday. The bowling ally just reopened this part month. They changed owner ship ( a couple times since they closed years ago) and redid the entire inside. It is now nice and clean and does not smell like an ash tray - which is VERY NICE.
Dallen had never bowled before but his friends had. They are all (4 of them- Dallen Cody Steven and Darrell) very competitive with each other. In everything they do. So Dallen took his first "roll" and got a gutter. Second "roll" and he got another gutter. So he threw a stinking fit. He did not want to play anymore. Took off his shoes and sat there pouting. I tried to get him to play and I even went out there and bowled for him and made a fool of myself. But he sat there like a 4 year old and would not listen to me. I wanted to beat him.... yes I wrote it ..... I wanted to beat the child.... (I can hear my Mom and Eddie saying Danielle that is not the kind of stuff you should write on your blog... but I am real and not the Molly Mormon Mom LOL ) Probably a good thing for me and Dallen both was that the bowling ally was packed and so there is no way I could have beat the kid. LOL
Eventually that round of bowling was over and Dallen's friends wanted to play another game with the bumpers. So Dallen finally agreed to play. Once he did he loved it and wants to go back there this week. YEAH FAT CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING.
After bowling we came back to the house and had cake. Vanilla cake with root beer frosting. Then the boys played out back. They are definitely boys climbing on everything running around getting dirty. They had lots of fun, but it was rather exhausting for me. It is things like birthday parties that remind me why I only had 2 kids. I am so not patient, and I am way too controlling and way too much of a neat freak. ( which the neat freak part has been going out the window the last few years with me working part time)
the kids have this week off school - which I am so grateful for. I need a break from homework everynight and making them get up every morning. Too bad I still have to get up and go to work everyday. But maybe I can get caught up on a few things around the house that need to get done.
picks to come one day ....
