headbands and happiness
Do you remember when I mentioned how Mimi LOVES to wear headbands? I’d say out of the 28 days of school so far Mimi has worn a headband for 25 of them. Last week Annie brought home a back issue of American Girl Magazine, and in it was an article showcasing a week’s worth of hairstyles for 3 different girls. Annie asked if we could do this this week. I told her I’d play along. Mimi seemed excited about the idea, too. The first hairstyle Annie chose was 2 pigtail buns. And Mimi’s first choice was to wear a headband. Normally, I’d try to convince her otherwise, but it was hard enough to not burst out in laughter to say more than 2 words about it.
In other news, the girls went to a birthday party on Friday night. Mike and I had a triple date that night with 2 other couples from church, and we went and saw Brian Regan live. It was a lot of fun and laughs, but that’s another story. I got a text from the birthday girl’s mother telling me that Mimi literally lost her tooth. As in it got knocked out while horsing around, and it took the whole group of girls and the mother to find Mimi’s tooth some minutes later. It was discovered, and Mimi got a visit from the Tooth Fairy that night. Mimi has gone out of her way to not tell us when her teeth are loose, so it was a complete surprise to us that she had a tooth that was that close to coming out. I think she may have been tormented from the last time when Mike pinned her down and yanked her tooth out. Ya think!
And, lastly, I couldn’t not include a picture of Violet in this post. Sorry for the poor quality of photography this time, but I snapped these as quickly as you can say photography.
