The New Miss Emyley

Emyley has been talking for quite awhile now about getting her haircut like "her guys". She was talking about back when her sisters got their haircut pretty short with it fringed on the edges so it would flip. I was very adamant that she couldn't get her haircut that short. But, her hair was getting tangly and starting to look straggly, so I knew it was time for a cut. I was thinking that a little past her shoulders would be really cute. I even showed her how long her sisters' hair is now, and she agreed that that would work. So, off we went today to the haircut place. We all agreed on how much to cut off, but well, as it usually goes, it is a little shorter than we intended. But, oh my goodness it is so cute and she looks so grown up! We kept her hair for her "baby book"....that part was pretty sad...holding that ponytail that will never be again. Oh well, she is very happy, and hair grows back, right?!?

Halloween 2007

Well, there really isn't much to share about this since I already showed off the costumes in an earlier post, but I can't just leave it hanging, either! Let's see...We aren't big trick or treaters. I mean we like to trick or treat, but after about 10 houses, the girls start to complain about their bag being too heavy, their feet are tired, blah blah blah, so we just made the loop around our "lake" and back down the street again. The girls got plenty enough candy to last awhile and everyone had a great time. There was one house on our block that I must mention....they went all out with the Spooky Halloween decorating, complete with a CSI-like crime scene on their front porch (think luminol and black light). They also had 2, yep I said 2, Saint Bernards that stood at the front door behind a baby gate to greet the trick or treaters! They were so sweet and just wanted lots of head scratches. But pretty weird, too! We did notice more kids out this year, and yet, we managed to only hand out candy to 3 kids. So glad I didn't go all out buying the candy this year!
