My boys were looking a bit messy, with their shaggy little mop-tops, so I declared it was time for a hair-cut.
I give the boys at home hair-cuts. I’ve been cutting Thade’s hair for about 6 years now, and Dylan doesn’t mind either. This time I decided to try something a little different, so I gave the boys faux-hawks. I think they look super-cute!
Dylan was really excited about his new hair!
Thade liked his hair too.
I think the new edgy hair-cuts suits their mischievous personalities too.
The heat isn’t keeping me out of the kitchen…
Just a little sneak peek to share of July’s tasty treats. Time to get in the kitchen and make some more goodies.
I was hoping for an I’m Bored free day, but the kids were up at 6:30 a.m., and the I’m Boreds hit before 9:00 a.m. I did a quick check of the weather, it was almost 80 degrees out, I loaded up the kiddos, and we made a quick trip out.
Our first stop was to the library to get a few weeks worth of reading materials for Thade. We were in luck too, our favorite librarian was in, and she helped the boys find a lot of great books.
We loaded up the bag with chapter books for Thade, and board books for Dylan. Dylan isn’t reading just yet, but Thade really likes to read the board books to him.
Then we ran to redbox to grab a movie. The kiddos wanted to see the second Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, and I thought that sounded like a pretty good afternoon to me.
Dylan kicked it on a chair in the office, and tried to solve a Rubik’s Cube for a bit.
Thade played his DS for a bit after he finished reading three of the books that we got earlier in the day.
Dylan set up a Yo Gabba Gabba! art instillation for Agnes.
Then it was time for Thade to photo-bomb every picture that I was taking.
Thade the photo-bomb master!
When the longest part of the afternoon hit ( 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.) we kicked it on the couch and watched a movie. It was really funny too, and I could relate a little too much to the Mom in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
I finished up the day by making a big batch of chocolate cupcakes, and giving the boy’s much needed hair-cuts (I’ll have those photos up laters).
Tomorrow it is supposed to be hot again, so we’ll see if we can survive another day of the I’m Boreds.
The weather is going to be brutally hot this week, so we are probably staying indoors all week. We went to the store early this morning, and it was already 80 degrees outside, way too warm for eight in the morning. I know tomorrow is going to be a really long day, the temp is supposed to be 104, but that is before the heat index, it will most likely be 110-115, absolutely miserable.
When I was picking up the boys room this morning, I came up with an idea for an I’m bored bin, since I’m probably going to hear that a few times this week. I found an empty toy bin and gathered up a few favorite books and dvds to keep us busy. I also have a few art projects on hand (thanks Uncle Rob) to pass the time tomorrow.
Hopefully it will work!
I won’t be bored though, I’m still slowly taping our bedroom, and I have lots of coupons to clip and organize. Hope everyone is staying cool this week, let’s all hope for an early and cooler Autumn.
I am determined to get our bedroom painted, and soon. I’ve started the prep work this week. I’ve been taping off the woodwork, and I’m close to being done. I can’t wait to start the painting part of this project.
