$8 Haircut $8 Results

Good Idea  - A new haircut was much needed.  I mentioned to Sean I wanted to cut off a little and he referred me to a guy he had gone to several times.  Not only did he give Sean amazing haircuts, but they also only cost $8!  It was perfect.  However, I was a little nervous because I had never gone to him before.  But...$8 sounded much much better than $20.  

Bad Idea - The $8 haircut.  It took the man approximately four minutes to chop my lovely locks off.  During those irreversible minutes I mentioned to him I had layers in the back.  Like stylists do, he pulled a piece from the back and asked me if this was enough.  I nodded and to my horror he took a CHUNK out of the front of my hair!  Right by my face extremely extremely noticeable.  When I didn't think it could get any worse, he started going around my entire head chopping off what he apparently thought were "layers."  I even asked him if he could blend it, which was a mistake because afterwards it looked even more so like a two year old had cut it.  In the end, I made a made dash to a different stylist who, thankfully saved the day!  Also, just for the record, it is not Sean's fault!  He was simply trying to be helpful.  It was the man!  

Good Idea - After the hair ordeal, I decided a craft day would make up for it.  With some help from my good friend Jody and lots of blog stalking, I finally created the wreath!

Foster Family Funness

Good Idea - After many many months of a necessary get together it finally happened!  The Foster's had a day of pure play.  The day was complete with a track meet, delicious creamery ice cream, a BBQ, and playing at the park.  We even got an unexpected surprise from Tami (Sean's sister from Washington)!  To Tami's credit, not only was she able to eat three massive scoops of ice cream topped with a sugar cone, but to the boys dismay, she flawlessly defeated them in a game of Lightning.    Consequently, Sean and I were so exhausted from the day we only made it as far as the Toast Grandma's on the way home.

Bad Idea - Once again I chose the wrong pair of shoes for the occasion.  However, I was not opposed to bare feet.  Also, I'm so sorry some of the photos aren't right side up.  They are on my desktop, but I can't seem to rotate them.  Sorry!
