Another Action-Packed Day

After work, it was off to two schools and then over to my sisters for haircuts. The tools of her trade. The most torturous one is not pictured here. It was on my head. I so hate having her jab my scalp with a crochet hook. But my hair is all bleachy-blonde again, so it was totally worth it.

Drew getting a comb out. That's what my face looked like as she pulled long strands of rebellious hair through a holey rubber shower cap.

Saying goodbye to the long, flowing tresses of golden locks.

A smile for his mom who was sitting about 18 inches away from him under a full-head dryer.

Liking those clips in his hair and scaring me with his cuteness. That smile of his is going to break a few hearts.

Patiently waiting while Jul worked her way around his head.

Hey, ears! Haven't seen those in a long time.

Love watching her work.

Almost done.

"Hey! I can see the ceiling!"

Daryl rolled into the kitchen to show me his casts.

He thought he might drive himself over to a job site tomorrow.

Such a kidder, that Daryl...

The thing about getting our hair cut at my sister's place after school is that she always has supper simmering while she's snipping.

.

And I don't.

So, when I got home at 5:30 pm (having eaten nothing all day but an orange-juice-and-vanilla-protein-powder-shake and 3 tablespoons of peanut butter) and faced an empty stove, I was sorely tempted to zip us all down to McDonald's for burgers and ice cream. I didn't. I made a meal, a mess and managed to make it through another day having no flour or sugar. (However, I did eat an entire watermelon with limited help from Andrew, so maybe I blew it?)

.

Leaving the dishes where they landed, we all rushed out again after eating; Clint and Drew to Flip City, Max and I to find out his Career Assessment results.

.

Can I tell you how awesome this whole testing experience was? And how clear the results are?

And how much I love the results?

Careers which utilize Max's top three inherent traits and cognitive skills include (get this!); photography, journalism, marketing and being a pastor.

.

This list just makes my heart smile. And my mouth too.

Three things I'm thankful for:

1. Forget-Me-Knots

2. A sister who is good with scissors.

3. The paperwork (for Mexico) is done.

Shalom,
