Men are from Mars

Here's a conversation I had with my honey last night.

Me: (8 months pregnant and leaving work around 5:00)
Hey honey, I just wanted to let you know I'm leaving work right now.

Him: (not pregnant and sitting at home)
Ok, What are we going to have for dinner?

Really?  I mean... Really?

Bangs

Sophia always refuses to allow any type of bow or pony tail in her hair.  She'll rip anything out after 15 mins.  So this summer, my mom insisted I cut her bangs that always hang in her face.  I really didn't want to give her bangs, but it's better than hair hanging all over her face so we went with it.

Since the original bangs were cut, I've only done one touch up trim and it was definitely time for another trim.

Here's how she looked after I trimmed her hair the last time.

Well, my mother-in-law, bless her heart, also noticed that it was time for a trim and rather then tell me I should do it, she went ahead and did it.

 I got home from work and asked Sophie if she had cut her own hair.

Here she is the next day.

I really didn't have a lot of options for fixing it.  If I cut it even with what was started on the right side of her face, she'd look like this.

So I just cut the long straggling pieces to mid forehead and let it be.

I'm thinking of enrolling my MIL in beauty school for her birthday.

Holiday Happenings

Cathy came over for a day of holiday baking.  We made Apple Crisp, apple bread braids, cookies, cake, and more cake.  I had to bring a dessert for a Ward Christmas party and ended up bringing 4 desserts.... it was a good thing too because there were only 10 desserts, so I provided almost half for the whole ward.  (The Spanish ward aren't huge bakers.... The other 6 items were store bought!)

 While we baked, the kids played outside in the "freezing" Las Vegas weather.

 Then last week I was off work so we took the kids to the Ethel M chocolate factory and cactus garden.  We got there right as they turned on the lights.

 And we rang in the new year by painting Sophia's bedroom.  I got it in my head that I wanted a "Tiffany Blue" for the room and once my mind is made up, it's made up.  I went and got the color and we went to town on New Year's Eve.  We finished up on New Years Day and I love it!

Happy New Years!  Here we go 2013!
