Emmie's new hair!

She was very nervous to get her hair cut!  I told her she could give her hair to locks of love for a little girl with cancer who needs a wig.  She listened to me explain this and then said " No I'll just bring my hair home instead and wear it whenever I want."  She was a little confused!







She wouldn't speak the whole time she was getting it cut!  She was very unsure about this!  She says she likes her hair now but still misses her old hair and plans to grow it out again.  I really miss her old hair too!  She shocks me every time I see her!!!  She sure is a beautiful, sweet, wonderful girl no matter how long her hair is!!

What is the worst thing you have ever found on your carpet?


I have found many horrible things on my carpet.  Such as gum, a spilled blue slushie, poop, vomit, a new box of cereal poured out, milk, a smashed banana, my broken clock with glass all over, nail polish, soda, and many other big gross messes!  Most of them caused by Ray!  (He is a bit of a monster)  I think what I found this morning trumps all the others!

Big, blonde, clumps of beautiful hair!!!
There was more but I cleaned it up and then found this clump under the couch so I decided to post about my sad discovery!  I know all kids cut their hair well at least both my girls did.  Emmerie is different though because she has never had her hair cut not even trimmed!

Look how long and beautiful it is!!  She had really long hair when she was born and I never cut it.  I have often threatened to cut it when I was brushing it because she would cry but she would always say "No Mom don't cut my hair.  I love it long!"  So I couldn't believe she did this!!


See the little chunk on this side?


This side is worse!  I'm so sad and not sure if I should cut it all off or make her wear pony tails for a while until the shock wears off!  I'll let you know.............

Apple pie filling

I spent 2 1/2 hours and now have 12 jars of yummy apple pie filling!  I love our trees!  Btw I have great picture taking skills but when I made it big it got all crooked....and I can't fix it so it is my blog skills that are suffering!

APPLES!!!!

We have 5 trees full of apples so we have been really busy!  The cousins helped pick and I started with applesauce and juice.  I still want to do apple pie filling and try apple butter!  We love our house!  It's busy and messy at our house but when I see the jars on my shelf it makes me really happy!
