New Do

So I decided to get a new do and I decided to go curly!!! I wanted something different but I didn't want to cut my hair because I want to grow it out and donate it again. I also needed something quick and easy since I am working out again in the mornings. So with the help of my most favorite hair stylist I went with a perm. I was a little nervous at first because I haven't had curly hair since before Nora was born. That little stinker took all the curl I had out of my head! So 3 1/2 hours later I was curly again. When I got home I had some funny reactions. It was really big and very curly!!! Once I was able to fix it Peter finally said he liked it. I have had some mixed reactions from people, but whatever it is really whether I like it or not and I LOVE IT!!! It has saved me time getting ready in the morning and is super easy! So hope you all like my new do!

Snow Day!

We had our first snow day here in St. Louis this past week! We got around 3 inches of snow and of course when we get even a little snow things here shut down. We got to sleep in that morning because school was called off before we went to bed! Nora was excited to see the snow and it snowing when we woke up. She kept saying "snow, snow, snow" over and over again. Jalen spent the night and he was super excited to see the snow on the ground. We waited til around 10 am to call the neighbor kids and go outside. So we got all bundled up with lots of layers and vaselined our faces so we could protect that beautiful skin and out we went. Nora was sweating so bad before we went out because we had so many layers on. She was ready to go and was saying "bye, outside, bye, outside, snow". So yes we did venture out into the cold so mom could be crazy and get some pictures of Nora and the snow. A lot of my friends did not venture out with their little ones, but I just had too!

As you can tell by the first picture Nora did not like the snow. I think that she wanted to actually get in the car and go "bye, bye" and that was throwing her off a little bit. As soon as I put her down in the snow she started to scream! Which will make for great pictures to talk about later on in life. We walked Jalen down to the neighbors and she was fine as we walked down but again as soon as I set her down there was screaming. Jalen said, "Aunt Debbie why don't you see if she wants to sled? I will take your picture!" So we got on the sled and she did not scream and got an okay picture considering a 6 year old was taking it. We got up and walked back home.

After we got home she saw her slide and said "slide, outside". So I put her on the slide and again she screamed. I picked her back up and she was fine. I think part of it was that she could hardly move in all of her gear because she had so much on underneath it all. We got inside and started to take it off and enjoyed the rest of the day inside playing and reading and enjoying the day off. We had Friday off too and did not venture out. We will try again if it does happen to snow again this year, but I had to get some picks and use the gear for this year!!
