Nope, We haven't passed that phase of life

There are things that keep happening in life that for some reason I think shouldn't. I think we have done that so we don't need to do it again. Alas I am wrong. 

Last week I had made the little girls sandwiches and then decided they would be okay if I went down to work on something in the basement. I was working away and things were rather quiet upstairs. That should have been my clue.  I was probably carried away with my project and more time than I know past, when Ruth came down stairs and said, "Mom, what's different about me?"

(I started laughing because it is usually better than crying.)

 This was the worst part. Ruth was kind enough to give Beth her first haircut. My kids don't grow hair quickly and don't come with a lot at birth. Beth was just starting to look more little girlish and we could put a ponytail on top if we tried hard. Not anymore. :( 

 This was the scene of the crime/beauty salon. Pajama pants were also part of the cutting party.

Other things from the week included Beth being a little too helpful with the laundry. That girl just loves to climb and help.

Seeing this buck while quilting at my aunt's house. The deer are like giant rodents around her house but still incredible to see.

Monday we had my friend Brandy come over for dinner. Her birthday was coming up and she wanted to have dinner with us and celebrate though we couldn't be together on the actual day. She is always fun to have around.

Lilly made dinner one night. It was a homework assignment. She did a great job and it helped remind me that she can do more than she does around dinner time.
