For the Love of Peas and Monkeys

How many women out there remember having their hair in pink spongy curlers?  As for me I remember only a couple of times my mom did that to (major tomboy), however, I remember my sister having her hair curled often.  My little Sweet Pea has naturally curly hair but my mil thought it would be neat to see what her hair would look like with those curlers.  So she put them in her hair and then we went out to go do our “fun project.” 

After cleaning up the yard we all came in took, showered, and got dress since we had church last night.  Well I could start to see my sweet little girl not acting so sweet since she did not have a nap today.  I ask her to go get something upstairs and she’s saying “no I don’t want to.”  After getting on to her she grudgingly walks upstairs and I hear her say “you know Jesus said…”  The rest I couldn’t hear but you better believe I wanted to know the rest of the comment as did my mil.  So when she comes back down I ask her “what did Jesus say?”  She replies “Jesus said that you shouldn’t fuss at me all the time.”  WHAT!!  Ok I’ll be honest I had to try and not laugh at what she said.  Then I said “Did you know that Jesus also said to listen to your mommy and daddy?”  She just kind of looked at me and surprisingly didn’t have anything else to say.

Now back to the hair-it’s finally time to take out the curlers and OMG her hair looked just like Shirley Temple.  I’m talking a head full of ringlets, she looked so cute-UGH and can you believe I forgot to take a picture of her!!  I’ll just have to make sure that I take one the next time her hair is fixed like that.

 

A Fun Project? April 12, 2007

My mil came home yesterday and said “go and put on a tank top and some shorts because I have a fun project for us to do.”  I’m thinking cool maybe were going to paint or something.  Alright so I go upstairs and put a movie on for Sweet Pea and the other is already taking a nap.  I go outside to see what this fun project is and it wasn’t what I expected.  Her so called “fun project” was cleaning up the yard-I should have known and I think deep down I had a feeling but I was being hopeful.  I’m talking scrubbing out gunk out of the fountain, draining the pool, and cleaning out the flower bed.  I’m not going to complain about it because it was such a beautiful day yesterday; it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze.  We got pretty much everything accomplished and the yard looks pretty darn good if I do say so.
