Missed a Spot!

Ethan's hair was getting a little shaggy, so I decided that he was due for a haircut. Brett was already cutting his hair, so I told him that Ethan was next in line. Brett finished his hair, and then started on Ethan. Well somehow, the clippers got dropped on the tile floor, and then they didn't work anymore. Poor Ethan is stuck looking like a little old man. I had to call my sister-in-law to bring backup clippers. As you can tell from the picture, he is not a happy camper. At least it is Christmas break, and he doesn't have to go to school like that! I've had some bad haircuts in my day, but man-o-man...

This on the other hand is Ethan being super silly! He wanted me to put his hair in ponytails, so I did. I just wanted him to know that it wasn't cool to be a boy in ponytails. I might have been a little rougher than necessary,but I was thinking I was getting my point across. As a parent, you know how that goes...He looks like he got my point don't you think? This is an after the ponytails have come out picture. I couldn't find the camera before. Isn't that always the case? He went to his Aunt Shannon's house with his hair all up, and it didn't bother him at all. She had to take the kids out with her while he was there, and she said she almost couldn't bring herself to take him with her! Lucky for him, she loves him a lot!

SEE!!!

I caught her red handed! In the bathtub with the toothbrush and the toothpaste, always the toothpaste! This time it was her own toothbrush, but next time...it might be yours!

Accessories!

I just took this picture of Eliza. She is so darn cute it is hard not to just have a video on her at all times! Anyway, she has this purse that her cousin gave her, and she just loves that thing to pieces! She can't keep it on her shoulder though, so she walks around the house with one arm sticking up in the air. So far she has a little toy dog, a jingle bell, "Gingy" from Shrek, and her cup. All the essentials for filling a good accessory!

Bathing Beauty

Eliza loves the bathroom. I think because that is the one room in the house where we restrict her entrance. Usually if someone leaves the bathroom door open, she goes straight for the toothbrush drawer, and comes out with at least 3 toothbrushes that are not hers, and the toothpaste. I have had to clean up more toothpaste spills than I care to remember! Today however, she discovered she could get into the tub all by herself. So here she is climbing in the tub...

Saying Cheese for the camera...

Studiously reading her Winnie the Pooh shape book...

Getting more comfortable...

And climbing out again. It was quite the adventure! (see the paint can? we are still working on our bathroom. It's the job that never ends!)
