1st Haircut

Yesterday was a fun-filled eventful day.  There was lots of running around but it was well worth all the effort.  Lorelai had her first haircut and I had a good dye job.  This meant that I needed someone to watch the other two and who was going to get Ellaree from school.  So Ellaree rode home on the bus with her friend Alice.  Since we are open enrolled this means no school bus for Ellaree.  She does not care for this option so every once in a while I send her on the bus with Alice so she gets that fun time on the bus.  So I dropped Harry off at Abby's, Alice's mom, beforehand and Lorelai and I went to LaCrosse.  When Grama got done with work then she went and picked the kids up and took them back to her house.  So much appreciation to everyone who watched the kids yesterday. 

I had no idea how Harry would do staying at Abby's house without me.  He is either with me or my parents for the most part therefore leaving him was going to be interesting.  Not like when Ellaree was little and went to daycare.  The pros and cons of daycare.  When I left he looked mighty concerned but no crying.  He is such a big little man.  Abby said they both did great and were well behaved.What every mother wants to hear. :)

On Lorelai and I's part - we got a phone call coming back into Viroqua from Daddy asking if we wanted to do a lunch date.  Who can turn that opportunity down.  So we met at Culver's and did lunch.  Lorelai was feeling pretty special being the only one.  SSSHHH we didn't tell the other two.  Then we headed to LaCrosse.  We did some shopping and then it was salon time with Aunt Laura.  Of course Aunt Laura gets to do the kids first haircut.  She has done all 3 kids now.  What a special memory. 

Lorelai didn't really know what to think but she did a good job. 

Of course Aunt Laura curled her hair which is a big girl deal!

The final touch!  All done with a beautiful girl.

My shy little girl was very much talkative at the salon.  You could tell she was the center of attention and was loving every bit of it.  It was very cute when we all got home that the kids were making over her hair and they acted like they had not seen each other in a week.  They were all hugs and kisses and laughing.  It was such a beautiful sound in the house last night.
