Alright my friends, it is the end of a VERY long week, and I couldn't be more thankful. My brain is fresh out of juice tonight, so you'll have to deal with an uninspiring blog post mostly about nothing.
First off, thank you for all your condolences and sympathy with the hair scenario. I have good news to report, though, in that my call went fine today and I think I was able to explain myself pretty well. At any rate, it went a lot better than I expected and as compensation I now have a new appointment set up for next week with a different hairstylist free of charge! I plan on being much better prepared this time.
Other than that, not much has happened today. You know other than being housebound all day thanks to rainy weather and a runny nose on Sophie and Grace which kept me from taking them to the YMCA so I could get my workout on. Oh, and listening to first Sophie and then Grace throw screaming fits all morning long. And then trying (unsuccessfully) all afternoon long to get Ethan and Grace to help clean up their messes all over the house. So yeah, thank goodness it's Friday.
I feel like I can't close without at least ONE story, so here's one for the road. A couple of nights ago, we were trying to wrap things up at bedtime, and we were reading Book of Mormon stories in Ethan's bedroom. The kids usually struggle to be quiet and pay attention during the reading, and this night was no exception. While Ethan was actually listening, Grace was being Grace and was messing around with Sophie. Which basically meant that she was doing all kinds of things to aggravate her and make her scream (which of course, just made Grace laugh). Sophie had brought a couple of toothbrushes in there to play with, and Grace thought it would be fun to stick them down the back of Sophie's zip-up, footed pajamas. I saw it happen and then forgot about it until I was putting Sophie down in her crib for the night and immediately upon being laid down she let out a screech. So, I took it out and tucked her in and called it a night. What I found out in the morning however, was that she had slept all night long with the other toothbrush firmly lodged down the back of her jammies! Poor little supermuppet.
Okay, that's it folks. I apologize. My life isn't ALWAYS as action-packed and fabulous as I make it appear.

Your Grace is so like my Grace! She loves to torment Dyl when we are trying to have FHE, family prayer, etc. It makes for a very grumpy mommy which in turn chases any hope of the Spirit away! But we shall persevere, what else can we do??? There are blessings promised with just trying, right?
sweet! i'm excited about your haircut! let me know how it goes
Oh, Grace and Juliette are soooo similar. They would either get along really well, (And wreak a lot of havoc) or they would kill each other. (and there are days I wouldn't mind someone giving her a good whooping) I actually think it would be the former.
If you find some great way to entice her to actually listen during prayer, scriptures, FHE, breakfast, lunch, dinner.....or any other time, please pass along the magic.
