Hair-day and WW

ok, i need to confess something.  i really don't know how to do (white) girl hair.  everything i do is something that i just tried.  so when I came across Hair Today's blog on SITS, i stood up and did the dance of joy.  

so me and the #2 & #3 girls did a 'hair day'.  #2 was thrilled!  so, lift your glass with me and toast to many new hairdo's!  yeah!
ok...
tell me the truth...
what do you think???

I think you rock. The hair do's are exceptional.

very cute - and I have no idea how to do any hair! Whenever I do anything for my daughter - it just looks so lopsided!

Awesome job. You're one up on me, I have never done any girl's hair at all.

Very cool...I'm more of a pony tail girl...everyonce in a while I braid DQ's hair, but really it's pretty much just up.

Like the do's though!

Cuuuuute hair. They both look adorable.

And just so you know, I can't do hair either. My poor daughters.

So cute! When my kid actually gets hair, I think I'll just ponytail it or french braid it. Because I'm laaaaaaaaaazy, that's why!

The one million clear beads must have taken forever, but oh so adorable...

My friend Theressa always says if I ever tried to put cornrows in my hair, I would have cornrow. haha The sad thing is--I'm pretty sure she's right.

It all seems like it would take so much time. I'd rather cook or bake, but it would give me less time to clean. I'll have to mull that over.

You are so good! I have the hardest time with hair. Girl or boy hair, just terrible at it! Your girls are just beautiful.
Elizabeth said…
Looks like a great time...both do's look great.

Mandy said…
I am so not into the hair thing either and I think that is why I had two boys first. And then this baby girl came and I have been learning.... Great job!
Jaime said…

Wow! You did an awesome job!!
I swear the only 'do my daughter go from me was the pony. Every day, all day, for the past 2 years. I believe she has been doing the happy dance since I let her get her hair cut this summer. But now SHE has the lovely task of flat ironing it each morning!
Abby said…
Awesome job mom! Can I tell you my favorite hair cream as we call it to use on my brown girl (my daughter's description of herself ;) we go to www.carolsdaughter.com and get the hair milk. It is made from all natural products and actually has to be refridgerated but smells and works awesome!
Svr said…
I will definitely be trying out that site!!!!! Hmmm, you aren't by chance in NW Florida?????
Katy said…
Hi There!, they are so cute, i cant wait to have a little girl to do fabulous hairdos on! You are so lucky, your daughters are beautiful!
Honey Mommy said…
That is super cute!

I wish I had little girls so I could do their hair! *sigh*
I need to check out that hair blog. I have a 16 month old that has hair that will fit into pigtails now and I stink at doing girls hair.

I think you did a FABULOUS job! Super cute on both of them!!!

Both Do's came out adorable! My poor daughter... I can't do hair at all...
Jaysi said…
Wow! Those are some fantastic hair-do's!! That is the one thing that makes me nervous to have a girl (not that I am). I am so used to boy hair...run your fingers through and go! Fantastic job!!
Joy said…
I will have to check that site out, my dd has a ton of hair and I find myself doing the same thing over and over again.

Good job on the braids
Kathleen W. said…
I think you did a great job. I wish I had someone's hair to style!
Your family is precious! Were your hands cramped afterward? Much aloha from Hawaii!!
They look great! I really like beads, they are sweet!
Are you kidding me? You did their hair all on your own. I sooooo could not do that. And that right there is why I was sent boys.

Aren't they cute!

Happy WW. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. I always love to see notes from ya. :)

Cute! I love that blog too. Before I found it my daughter only had piggy or pony tails! Now our favorite is knots!!
Wendy said…
You get the Updo award for today!! I saw that website, amazed at all of the ways you can fix hair! I bet they both loved it! Thanks for visiting my place.
Jen said…
Wow, I am so impressed. Why did Jake have to get to good, long hair and Claire have short limpy hair. Hopefully this will change.
carrhop said…

miruspeg said…
Little girls love having their hair done, they will want this to be a daily event now!
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments.
Rwanda is doing extremely well now, they have a stable democratic government, good rainfall and a thriving ecomony in comparison to the other African countries.
All the best

Wow, you did great! I am terrible at doing hair.
I don't know how to do hair either. I was kind of relieved when I gave birth to a boy instead of a girl!

But you did a great job here! Your daughters are beautiful.

And thanks for the comments on my blog.

Wow...I am impressed. I can't do anything with my kiddos hair. I think the smile on J in that pic is just adorable "I know, I'm so cute!"

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
