Ethan's Highlight's

Trying out a new hair color...

So, I've never tried red before, just blondes, golds & browns. This burgandy with light jet black low lights. I did it yesterday, however this morning I discovered that i missed a few gray hairs around my face near my temples - for shame! So, I had to use "black cherry" to remedy that since i was all out of burgandy. Then I experimented with dying my eyebrows dark brown & my eyelashes black - it worked ok. Enough to notice without make-up, but will still need mascara if "dressing up". I will be adding color to jasmyn's hair tonight & will try to use foil...we'll see how that goes! Ethan wants blond hair - his first venture into the hair coloring world. I am going to try frosting it & if I mess up then he'll get blond all over!

My morning...and..Grayson's head wound

I started my day by heading to MOPS (mothers of pre-schoolers), late of course. Grayson wanted to wear shorts even though it was snowing out. I left early at 10:30am so I could stop by Fred Meyer on my way to Ethan's Dr.Seuss Party at school, which started at 11am. I was unloading groceries at 10:50am...so we would have been on time, except Grayson stepped right into the sliding van door just as i was opening the door. It knocked him down & blood is everywhere on his face, i pick him up now blood is all over me, i lay him down in the seat, of course no napkins or wet wipes in the van, so i start rumaging thru 1st aid kit, found out all the "clean" wipes are dried out. Found a telfa pad for him to hold on gash until i could find steri-strips. I manage to get area cleaned up enough to close the 1" gash. We head home, get washed up, get tylenol, ice & lunch & make it to Ethan's school by
noon only to find out the party was over at noon, not 1pm! argh!
