Picture, Picture, Who Has a Picture?

I realized that I have not had a good post with pictures of us on it for a while (don't expect great things from this one either) I have just not been in a picture taking mood (or a picture developing mood....or do we not use the word "develop" with digital pictures anymore?) Anyway, back to the point. I thought I would just do a quick update on a few things going on around here. I will start off with a GREAT story for all you Moms.

I was busy cleaning the house while my kids were playing in their rooms (I know you think I am being sarcastic about the cleaning stuff, but really I was!!) Trevor was "bored" and didn't know what to do, and after he rejected my suggestions of helping out with the housework, he decided to do a puzzle. So he got out a puzzle and a large board to do it on. After dumping out all the pieces he promptly left the room and went back to his bedroom. I told him several times to come pick up his puzzle, to which he kept responding..."I am not done with it yet!!) As I was about to finish the room Trevor comes over to me and says "OK, Mom, I am done with my puzzle now you can pick it up." I look over and it looks the exact same as before! So I start the mental dilemma of "do I want to start this battle? I could pick it up in 2 seconds or I can make him pick it up, argue about it with him for 1/2 hour and then end up either threatening his life to get him to do it, or just doing it myself while he stands in the corner" I decided that the afternoon was going so nicely that I would just take the 2 seconds to pick up the puzzle. As I scooped the pieces into the box this fell out:

If you can't read it, it says: "Thank you Mom for all the hard work Mom."

How much sweeter can it get! The whole thing had been a set up. He was in his room making the card and hid it in the pieces so that when I cleaned it up I would find it. A few minutes later Kaylee came out with this lovely card for me.

If you can't tell what it is, you will have to ask Kaylee because neither can I, but I told her that I loved it and said Thank you.

While on the subject of Thank Yous I must mention that I woke up yesterday morning and came out to find that my WONDERFUL husband had gotten up at 5:30 and was cleaning the kitchen for me! What a great surprise!

The next big thing that has happened is that I cut my hair. Now when I say that I cut my hair I don't mean that I went and had my hair cut, I mean I went and got some scissors and cut my hair! It started as my trimming my bangs and but I'm afraid I got carried away. I figured if I screwed it up to badly I could then pay someone else (like a professional) to fix it, so long as I didn't cut it to short. I think it looks OK, and so far no one is willing to tell me otherwise, so I guess I will stick with it. Here are a few pictures of my new do:

I KNOW! This is a terrible picture of me, however I couldn't resist putting it on because I thought it looked kind of like Clay Aiken and I got a good laugh out of it and thought you might too.

And here is a cute picture of Ashton:

So there you have it. This is what you get when I sit down with no idea what to blog about and decide to check what is on the camera. Have a GREAT day! (and I promise to take better pictures of my kids this week!)
