Crazy Hair Night!

(click here for today's pictures)

• We are refinancing our house and had it appraised this morning.  So Robby was home for a bit while the appraisal guy walked through the house.  We had tried to explain that the man from the bank was going to take pictures of the house.  Question after question was asked and answered and eventually little Graham asked "is the bank man going to tell us that we have to move?"  We should have just gone with a lie like saying Daddy's friend is stopping by for a few minutes.  And no, the bank is not gong to take our house!
• School was fine today.  We managed to finish in time for lunch and even had time to work on our science box.  After every science chapter we are to make a few drawings to put in a box.  I think this is the 3rd or 4th chapter and our poor box is packed full.  I probably need to find myself a bigger box.  
• I can imagine after awhile that my Anderson will be moved out of the school room.  He is so distractable but when he is by himself or just with me he breezes through his work.  Maybe I should move his desk to my room...oh, but everyone else would just migrate to where he is.
• All 5 kids enjoyed spaghettios for lunch today-and they ate two cans.  I was a bit shocked by this especially when they asked for more after finishing off can #2.  Goodness, I am going to have start clipping my coupons more diligently!
• Soon it was lunch time and then we ended up outside blowing bubbles for awhile-at least until a bee started buzzing around Keaton's spaghettio stained clothes.  
• This afternoon went by quickly-Reagan worked on her birdhouse some, Anderson painted a lake with two people walking around it along with a strawberry bush (becoming quite the artist) and Graham painted his paper all blue.  
• Only let them have one piece of paper because soon it was time to start getting hair ready for crazy hair night at church.  The boys just needed hairspray to complete their look since their hair was cut yesterday.  But Reagan needed a few ponytails-20!  It took quite awhile but she was so excited and even told me thank you tonight.
• We were on time and I just had Keaton to wake up, change and put in the car and we would be on our way to see Beebee and Papaw's place.  Of course, Keaton had taken off her diaper and had also pooed.  Lovely.   I am afraid that she might have even had herself a snack!  Anyway, I threw Keaton in the shower with Anderson nearby to entertain, Reagan gathered clothes and diapers and Graham cleaned the pack n play outside and Campbell narrated everything that was happening to me ("Keaton crying Mommy," "Anderson have door open," "Graham spraying," and on and on it went).
• We still were leaving just 13 minutes later than planned.  Beebee and Papaw were quite entertained by the kids hair and the kids did well today.  Keaton even sat in Papaw's and then Beebee's laps briefly before showing off her new walking skills.
• At church tonight, the kids were so proud of their hair and everyone had a good evening.  We were going to let Graham wear his mohawk tomorrow but he wanted to cut it off so the boys had a quick hair cut on the driveway.  Robby quickly hosed them down and then it was bedtime for everyone.
