1st Big Girl Haircut

Getting her hair shampooed

Riley got her first big girl haircut today. Last week the kids had to come as I got my hair cut and Riley decided that it wasn't so scary and wanted to have Chrissy cut her hair too. Afterward when I asked her how she felt, she said she felt like such a grown up. Cute! She ended up getting about 2 1/2 inches off; just enough so that we could still braid it, but it wouldn't get stuck in her armpits anymore.

Meanwhile, Caleb sat on the floor playing with the Ipad. All of the other ladies in the salon just loved watching him do puzzles with his tongue stinking out.

Tada!

Labor Day

Today we went to the annual Labor Day Fair in town and this year they had a visiting circus group made up of teenagers from out region of the state. The kids really enjoyed watching what these teens could do, and I have to say that the adults were pretty amazed as well. After the show they gave a little workshop for the audience members who wanted to try out circus stuff. Riley and Leah were all for it and tried everything even though they were a bit small to really do well. Then we had 17 for lunch (including us) and hanging out and swimming in the pond. Everything was delicious and we had a great time visiting with everyone.
