Holy haircut!

Most days I feel like everyday occurrences (running to the store, washing dishes, getting people to school on time) are wrapped in a layer of chaos, and Ben's first haircut was no exception.

We had a 12:30 appointment at Kid's Club in  U Village but after hitting 520 traffic, we showed up 12 minutes late.  TWO MINUTES past the grace period, and the gal that was to cut his hair said she couldn't do it.

😳

But the salon was very sweet about it and asked that we stick around the village while they try to squeeze us in.  And lucky for us, 30 minutes later I got a call saying they could take us.

Aside from a couple George meltdowns over Thomas the Train ownership rights (the salon's trains, not his) and Ben throwing a bottle of bubble bath that burst all over the floor, I would say it was a success (low expectations are key!)

Here are some pictures of little man's first cut:










Yes, that's George under the shelf, crying and pissed that he couldn't bring the trains home with him 

As the old saying goes: All is well that ends well.

So, considering this ended with a check off my to-do list (i.e., said child, for better or worse, got his hair cut), we will consider it a success!

(next time he'll be going to Super Cuts with his siblings)

ha!

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
