Snow, Goose Egg, and Teething...

This is the extent of the snow that fell at our house. It started in the morning around 8am and was gone by noon...I mean melted completely. Hannah didn't even really get to play in it...so no pictures of that.
This was Hannah's idea of keeping Trey away from the Christmas stuff while we took down our tree. I couldn't stop laughing. She finally let her prisoner loose!
Trey got his first goose egg on his forehead this week. It scared me to death. It is amazing how fast it swelled up. He wouldn't hold still for me to get a better picture. But this pose does show his teeth pretty well. He has four total and is working on one on the top, but you can't see it here.
This is my remedy for Trey's teething habits. He has started to teeth on the bed rails. I looked online for a solution and found two. There were some soft "gummie" covers that had BAD reviews. They were just too expensive to try. And the other option were cloth covers. They had much better reviews but there were kinda expensive too. And there was no guaranty they would fit right. So I decided to make my own. Here are the results. They don't match his room, but hopefully they will save his crib from being damaged. (Just pretend you don't see a pink sheet, we use Hannah's old sheets in addition to Trey's blue ones!)

Hannah the Cosmetologist

Hannah got her scissors Tuesday night and cut her hair...short. Here is a picture before she cut it...isn't she pretty with long hair!

Here is a picture the morning after...she was so proud! She cut her bangs, sides and top pretty short. The sides and top are all chopped at different lengths.
Not sure why she is frowning here...she was actually quite happy. But here is a side view.
This is after I took her to my hairdresser. She was able to salvage most of it. Her bangs are much shorter and her back is like a bob. She still has places on the sides and top that are different lengths, but there was nothing she could do about it.
I was really in shock...and so sad when I noticed what she had done. But more than anything I was mad at myself (and DJ) for not putting the scissors up when she was finished. Hopefully it will grow out some before her birthday in February. We will see. I am having some cute bows made so she wont look so much like a boy! Maybe that will be the difference.
