bye bye baby hair

I knew I was attached to my hair but I had no idea how attached I was to Holden's hair until it was all laying in a pile in my sister's sink. His hair had gotten quite long, I was starting to get the 'what a cute girl' comments. It curled so beautifully but the poor guy was sweating buckets in the middle of our mini heatwave. So we went to my sister's house for a cut.

BEFORE:

(experiencing a lovely case of bed head)

DURING: (so hilarious watching his expressions in the mirror)

He was so good about sitting still...he was almost in a trance

The novelty did start to wear off though

And here he is ..... my grown up looking almost 3 year old..

I know it will grow back and I know he looks cute no matter what but ....I miss it!!!

So now I need a haircut. Going to have to work up the courage on that one.

ooooh so frustrating...

So I got a virus. Well I didn't get the virus, my computer did. I used to have really strong anti-virus protection but switched it not too long ago and it seems that one got through and now my computer is frozen. Thankfully I have a laptop a friend lent me so I can still access the internet [otherwise it would really be a crisis!!! ;)] and do the basic things I need to do. My fil is a computer 'genius' and will fix it when he gets back from Greece next month. In the mean time I'll have to get by.

Now, more than ever I wish I understood computers more. I only know basics, none of the behind the scenes stuff at all. Perhaps I need to take a few computer courses. Hmmm, something to think about.

home from vay-k and back to the everyday

Who knew two weeks could fly by so quickly?

We were away at our cottage in Oliphant (near Sauble Beach and Wiarton) and actually managed to score some wonderful weather. We had rain only the first day and one other night. Not too bad when you consider the summer we've had so far. It was so relaxing!! I managed to read 2 books and do some scrapbooking too. The boys had a great time swimming, playing in the sand, frog/bug hunting and going for lots of firewood treks in the bush.

We are so lucky that we have such a great place to go to get away from the craziness of city life. I am very grateful to my inlaws who go away to Greece for 4 months and leave the cottage to us. We are heading up there for another week or two at the beginning of September. Fingers crossed Mother Nature cooperates again!
