Short For The Summer

It was hair cut time in our house. I went to my hairdresser and got a new do. When I got home, Trin told me," You look like someone we don't know." I guess she is so used to the same look all the time. I of course can't get it just like the hairdresser did it but I like it all the same.
Today I brought the kids to "Aunt Cindy's" for haircuts. Shayla wanted short like mommy, Trin wanted a quarter of an inch off only and her bangs cut. Then she changed her mind.
Riana is 2 1/2 and hasn't had a haircut yet. With all her curls, she doesn't need one.
Here are the results:

selling my legs to science

sun less tanning
I occasionally participate in studies for a local company. This one was for sunless tanning lotion. I went for a week, every morning and they measured the color. Next they put the product on 8 squares on my legs (4 on each). I sat and let it dry for a few minutes. So I was there for about 20 minutes. In which I brought my book and read.
The following week I went every morning just for them to measure the color so I was out of there in about 10 minutes.
It wasn't all that great walking around with these square looking things on my legs. Thankfully it hasn't been all that warm so I didn't need to worry about the "no suntanning" rule. Now I am done and it is barely noticeable. I will be watching my mail for my check of $230!

Babysitting

I was more than willing to help out my friend, Becky, with babysitting. Her 4 year old daughter, Janelle, had a dance recital so we got to watch 6 day old, Ariana. I was there the day she was born and now I looking forward to having a little in the house for a few hours. She was very easy to take care of. She only stayed awake for an hour and a half. The kids each wanted to hold her for a picture.

Shayla wanted to keep her.
Trinity didn't want to let anyone else hold her.Riana loves that her name is almost the same as Ariana. She keeps saying,"She like me!" Miss Riana didn't want any help holding her this time.

Then we got to give her back. It was fun for all of us.
