The Day Has Come...

My baby... he's officially in Kindergarten. I just can't believe it...

First Day of School

Shyler's First Day of 2nd Grade...

She was so excited, she's got a great teacher this year and some friends in her class already. :)

Easton got to wear new school clothes too, even though today was just Kindergarten orientation.

Yesterday I decided...

...to chop off my hair. If you know me, you know that I like to change my hair. A lot. Color, cut, curly, straight, you name it..
Back in 2009, I had this cut and color:

I actually LOVED it...

Recently, I've been trying to grow my hair out so that it will look better when i want to wear it curly (natural). But with all the coloring and styling damage, I was afraid it was not looking it's best and i was getting SICK of it! So as usually is the case, I made a rash decision to chop it again to the above cut.

I decided I for sure needed to color my hair. A month or two back, I went brown from being blonde...but over the weeks, it's faded A LOT. So I hit up the local Sally's Beauty Supply and bought some temporary color. A warm brown. I also picked up a new blow dryer- this time I splurged on a ceramic ion one that the sales lady said should be much better than my cheap-o walmart one...

I applied the color last night, deep conditioned while I slept...and this morning I used my new blow-dryer and a round brush...

WOW! The color really gave some life back to my hair and the dryer truly was AMAZING! I was able to round brush my hair straight, and virtually frizz-free!!! That NEVER happens! Typically I am blow-drying and using a flat iron!

I'm so happy...I think I'll keep my long locks a bit longer. :)

The End

This morning's conversation with my 7 year old

Rrrinng rrringg...
Me: hello?
Daughter: mom, where's the straightener?
Me: I brought it with me
Daughter: *irritated groan* but you have two!
Me: I know, I brought them both
Daughter: *even more irritated groan* why!?
Me: because I needed both
Daughter: *beyond irritated, bordering on end-of-the-world groan* Now I'm going to have a bad hair day!!!
Me: *laughing, full out guffaw, that my 7 year old just said that*
Daughter: *Click*
She hung up on me! Hahaha
