Sydney's New Do

Funny story....The girls and I were playing last night right before bedtime, when I noticed a couple of hairs that were getting in Sydney's eyes and were WAY longer than the rest of her hair. So I think to myself, "I should trim those hairs so they don't get in her eyes. I'll go get the scissors." Somewhere in between that thought and going to get the scissors, I have another thought. "I should just trim all of her hair. It can't be that hard, right? At least the bangs need to be evened out some." And something crazy told me that this was a good idea and I should follow through with it. So I did.

I had Sydney sitting all still, I have my scissors in hand about to make the cut, when she makes a sudden dash for her 'B'. I tried to pull the scissors away but wasn't fast enough and they ended up cutting whatever hair fell in the blades. I slowly open my eyes to survey the damage thanking the dear Lord in heaven that a blade didn't go in her eye. The bangs were not so fortunate. They were, how you say, VERY short and VERY uneven. I tried to even them out, but Sydney wasn't a big fan of sitting still so I surrendered. I did get to trim the back so the mullet affect is gone. Here are some pics.

The Before



The After

Anyway, after Sydney's hair was all cut P of course wanted her hair cut also. Fine. What the heck? I'll just trim it in the back. I go to get the trash can out of the bathroom so the hair falls into it and not on the floor. I walk back into the media room to find P holding the scissors to her hair. AAAGGGHHH!!!! Fortunately, I was quick enough to get them out of her hand before she too had, how you say, VERY short and VERY uneven bangs. Talk about a disaster. I realized at that point that none of this was a good idea and I must get rid of the scissors ASAP. I do a quick trim in the back of P's hair (successfully!!) and called it a night. What on earth was I thinking?

Round 2

I was gently reminded yesterday that I hadn't blogged in a while (thanks, mom) so I thought I would update everyone on our house situation and the goings on around here. As most of ya'll know, we put our house on the market last year; 7 months and 75 showings later we had no contract and so we decided to take it off the market and give ourselves a break.

After much prayer and thought, we felt that the timing was right and put our house BACK on the market last week. We had our first showing yesterday, and praise the Lord, they are so interested in the house that they are coming back on Saturday. The only hang up is the master closet (surprise, surprise) so Jason is actually going to be at the showing on Saturday to discuss with the potential buyers some options for adding a closet or enlarging the current one.

If anyone reads this, PLEASE, please pray that the showing on Saturday would go well and that we would get a contract soon. It has been a long road for us and it would be such a blessing to not have to have it on the market for such a long time again. God is so good, and His timing is perfect. I pray that we never forget that!!
