Today was fairly uneventful, but fun. Aaron was at Directors' Retreat yesterday and today so we missed him, but we managed to stay busy. (Like that's a difficult task around here!)Abby starts school at Believers Academy in 3 weeks or so, and today we went to try on uniforms. She thought that was pretty exciting. But that paled in comparison to what she got to do next. She's been asking for months to get her hair cut at a real salon, so I surprised her while we were at the mall and she got to go get her hair cut. It's really cute (especially when she lets me fix it). Looks like a cute 20's bob, stacked in the back. It's put me in the mood to do the vintage family portraits I've been wanting to try. (See my inspiration here.)
Carson is back to being loud and full of energy now that Abby is back from her trip to Mattie and Grandaddy's. It's definitely a little crazier around here than it was last week, but it's sweet watching the two of them together. They seem to have a new appreciation for each other after being apart so long. Aaron overheard Abby complaining about not being able to carry some chairs back to the playroom tonight because they were too heavy, and Carson walked in and gallantly declared, "I will help you, Abby!" He is very into being a "saver" lately and a helper. It's cute.
This afternoon, I wanted to do something fun with the kids, but it being the end of the month (hence the end of the $), I decided to get creative. So I whipped up a "fancy" dessert and invited them to my "gourmet" restaurant where they were waited upon and we laughed and had a good time and life was good. Cost: $1.50 (if that).
Fancy Dessert
1 pkg. sugar-free chocolate pudding
Cool Whip
chocolate syrup
And at the end of the day, Aaron came home earlier than expected and we all had time to hang out and be a family and there was much happiness.
Tomorrow, there will be seven kids at my house all day. That may make for an interesting blog post. :) Stay tuned.
