Hair hair hair hair hair!

May 20th:
My hair extensions came today. Wow, I know what it feels like to look down and see and feel hair for the first time. It is so soft and pretty. I feel so feminine. It doesn't blend with my hair now since it is still so short, but I hope I can grow it out and wear it. It's so pretty. Paul is so thoughtful. He bought it for me so that I could just try it because he knew it would be fun for me.

At school Eirik got 5 certificates for good behavior which meant that he could choose a prize. He chose a green heart shaped ring for me as his prize. I think he still feels sad that he could not make me a diamond from coal. We talked about how I wear my diamond wedding ring as a symbol of my love for Paul and he wanted to give me a ring just like Dad gave me a ring. What a sweetheart.

The Later's came for lunch again today. Last week Kasey told me she loves artichokes so I bought some this morning at the farmers market and steamed them for lunch with our sandwiches. I cut up peaches and put whipped cream on them for desert for the kids. They ate them with tiny forks in the fern fortress. While Teig ate on my lap he reached out and spilled a whole green baby food all down me to my shoes.
The weather was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the cute kids. Later we made "badges" with felt and jewels and hot melt. It is so easy to please little people like ours. As we made badges, Teig was on my lap and he reached out and spilled the whole bowl of tiny beads; hundreds of them and may I admit that our dining room floor was filthy. There was more dog hair and dried peas than beads after I swept them up. (Ok, I'm exagerating a bit, but it was gross.) Teig, Teig, Teig!
Next we read the wonderful library books we got at the library this morning. I love reading with the kids. Then Teig went to bed and the kids watched Avatar while I cleaned and got ready for soccer. Soccer is 8 of my favorite women all hanging out while we almost always forget to watch or cheer for the kids. It's a lot of fun and I wish the season would last longer. Anona, Erin, Kasey, Ruth, Rachel, Jen, and Annie. Great ladies.
Kasey moves in one month and three days. Ruth and Rachel will be moved in 2 weeks. Jena already moved.
