Update

Well since my blogging competition ended with my sisters, which by the way I won, I haven't been very good at posting. I'm going to get back into it as it is something I enjoy and makes me happy. So some random updates:

Saturday night (8/22/09) cute Andrew said," Is tomorrow fast Sunday?"
Me: "No."
Andrew: "Is it slow Sunday?"
Jeremy and I had a good laugh at this one. Makes sense if there is a fast Sunday there should be a slow one too. But for me Fast Sunday is the SLOW Sunday. I have never been very good at fasting and it is an area of life I could stand for a little improvement. Sure I fast, or rather go hungry but I really need to develop a testimony of this principle.

When my mom was here in July we decided we would try to highlight my hair, against my better judgement. My mom tried to tell me it didn't look "that bad" when someone uses this term you know it's not good.
So I waited and then when Jess was here she bought some hair dye before she left for home. So that night after the wonderful vacation which you can read about here ended, I dyed my hair. This is a first for me. I have always paid someone for my dye jobs (there is a reason for this). Anyhow, the color is much darker with a fair amount of red highlights. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. But when Lexie noticed she said,"Did you paint your hair?" I told her I did and she got all excited said she wanted to paint her hair in the morning, ran into the bathroom looking for the paint, then asked if I used fingernail polish. I love how their little minds work. They make me so happy and I feel so lucky to be a mother. I just want to always remember the cute things they do and say, especially in the moments where I am clearly losing it.
