Sophie Goes to the Salon

Well, Sophia took her first step into womanhood last Thursday. She had her very first haircut!! Larr's cousin, Kimmie, trimmed her curls so they'd be bouncier and then gave her some bangs. That's right, she can actually SEE now without a barrette in her hair! Kimmie did a great job; she was so patient with her! Seriously, the child didn't even wanna wear the cape! But Kimmie persisted, Larr entertained, and Sophie settled down. Where was I?? Snapping pictures of course!

And so it begins....

Notice she's NOT wearing the cape.

Just a little off the top, please!

Now for the bangs! This is a big deal since before we were constantly pinning her hair out of her eyes. Larr and I had switched places at this point. She needed Mom in order to "close the deal."

And here's her new coif! Isn't she a precious little pixie??! And to top it all off, she can see!

Okay, so this picture's a little random, but in the spirit of "firsts," I thought you guys might like to see Sophie's very first school picture! It was taken a couple of weeks ago at Mother's Day Out, so it's pre-haircut, but isn't it adorable?! That book must be REALLY funny!

Trick or Treat '08!

Hey there everybody; long time no blog! We're still recuperating from a very busy Halloween, and I'm pretty sure I have diabetes now from all the sugar I've ingested over the last 48 hours. But man, it was fun!! I have soooo many pictures from the pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, and pumpkin festival that I'm just gonna post the ones we posed of the kids in their costumes. Cuz let's face it, munchkins in costume...that's the best part of Halloween! With candy coming in at a very close second. :)

Ace Rhea was crew chief for Lightning McQueen!

Sophie Bug was Raggedy Ann, yarn hair and all!

I had to include this one. Skittles are her favorite candy...just look at those chipmunk cheeks! It's like she's storing nuts for the winter!!

My little ghoul and goblin...

And I couldn't resist adding this one. We were at Mema Tallant's house here. Sophie enjoyed another package of Skittles while her daddy enjoyed a power nap! Poor Larr...

Happy Halloween everyone!
