Levi's Haircut



Today I gave Levi a haircut. I've trimmed it before but it was starting to hang in his eyes so I decided it was time for more drastic measures. Chuck was working late at school on a grant proposal and there's just something about him being gone that gets me motivated to do things I wouldn't if he were around. Or maybe it's just that I know he wouldn't let me do it if he knew what I was up to. In hindsight, using Chuck's beard trimmer was not such a great idea. The battery died and it generally didn't do a good job. Don't get me wrong Buddy is still cute as a button but his hair looks like sheep grazed on it. I learned my lesson and after I finished (the battery ran out) cutting Levi's hair, bathed and put him to bed I went online and ordered a proper hair trimmer. That's my new thing lately. I don't go into stores anymore to shop, I got to the computer to see how fast and cheap I can get it by mail. Too bad I can't order a haircut for Buddy!

Lily Turns 6


Lily celebrated her 6th birthday this past week. Of course for the girl who doesn't like cake...a vanilla cream pie, yum!
Lily had a great day. She was crowned birthday girl by her classmates at school and shared her other favorite treat, sugar cookies, with them. Then on to swim class where she learned to float on her back. After that we celebrated as a family with another of her favorites, Mexican themed dinner (beans & rice burrito).
On Saturday we invited some of Lily's friends over for a beach party themed celebration. We did the limbo, knocked around a pinata, cake, presents and lots of general merriment. It was a great week for Lily.

Swimming at the JCC

We joined the Jewish Community Center, mostly because they are a gym with daycare, and it's a 5 minute walk from Chuck's office.  The girls are in swim lessons at the moment, and loving it. You've never seen Sophie so excited as when she's jumping up and down in the pool.
