makeovers and some sweet lovin'

Sunday we had a little makeover day after church.  The reason behind it goes like this:  I hate Sam's hair.  He says I need to look past it and "love him for him" --( NOW I know some of you may be getting sick of hearing about how much I hate Sam's hair -- but it is what goes on in our house on a daily basis --so it is what I blog about.)  Anyways -- Sam really hates a lot of makeup on people -- especially me -- so I made the analogy : the makeup is like your hair -- it is still you but when I look at you -- that is all I see.  **does that make sense??**

While I made myself over - the girls HAD to join in the fun.  And then HAD to kiss Jackson all over his cute bald head.

I have not yet had the guts to leave the house looking this way -- but don't be surprised if you see me out and about sometime with Sam looking like a hooker. :)

happy to get some lovin'...........

the kissers.....

you know i look good...........
i may have been one of the kiss marks on Jacksons head too.......

is he crazy????????

So maybe a year or so ago Sam and I watched a foreign film called "Amelie".  The girl in it was a cute girl with a cute quirky personality and hairstyle.

Now Sam wants me to have this same hairstyle.  I think he is crazy -- I could not pull that off - I actually think only she could pull that off.  This is his new bargaining tool for keeping his hair.  He tells me that if I cut my hair like this - then he will cut his.  Some days I actually contemplate doing it just to get rid of his.  But then that would mean he wins......and we can't have that.  

when Lisa babysits.............

at least i have proof to show him when he is older - that he didn't enjoy this

family night.....fishin'

we got fishing licenses for christmas and my birthday -- so tonight for family night we went out fishing. we just went here in town to the "three lakes" lake.  we didn't catch anything - like usual - but we had fun.  the kids and i stayed out there until we got too cold and then went and waited in the car with the heat on until sam finally gave up too a while later. still fun though :)

we'll catch some fish one of these times.......

teeth are flying everywhere around here

addie's other front tooth has been hanging in there -- so last night Sam decided to help it out.... literally.  He tied string to her tooth and one of our chairs and you can see from the video what happened from there.  She was all for it at first but when it came down to it - she changed her mind.  In the video when it shows me -- my face is a little disturbed because the sight of blood and the big gapping hole in her mouth makes me nauseous.  I couldn't even watch while he was doing it.  But I have to admit that the video is pretty funny and I am glad that dangling tooth is no longer there.  She has got a very cute new smile!
