Haircuts and Backyard Playground

This weekend I had an appointment to get my hair cut so I decided to have a cut for the girls too. They both have such thick/beautiful hair that grows SOOOOO fast...I have to do trims very often. But, I decided to go for a full cut (especially for Janie). Both of them break out into a huge sweat the minute we go outside and they LOVE being outside. Janie's hair will be absolutely soaked after just a few minutes outside. Of course it doesn't slow her down, but it often worries me. I have been just pulling it up into pig-tails. 

But on Saturday I went ahead and decided to cut a bunch of it off...it grows so quickly that next summer I will try to leave it a little longer for pulling up. Lexie also got a hair cut...but hers was more of just a "shape up".

Before picture with both girls' hair down at bed-time. 

I usually have it pulled up during the day.

(Not the best pics of Lexie, she is a moving target these days!!)

Then both girls played in their little "kiddie" pool....

While mommy, Mimi, and Gramps worked on finishing up thier new back-yard playground!

We stil have to finish the playhouse. Still need to put on front door, the side bench, and complete the inside (it has a sink and stove). Then we are putting up a little toddler trampoline. They have a great one at Sams that is low to the ground, has a net, and is plenty big for both of them to jump at the same time!

Next posts coming soon: Tennessee trip and "All about Janie/Lexie" posts.

Have a great week!!
