Marley, the Hairdresser?

Most people have seen Marley's new short 'do, but I wanted to record the story about it. It seems that I have passed on a certain knack for cutting hair down to Marley. I found her in her room, scissors in hand, hair on floor. She had cut her hair in the front, creating a few bangs for herself. So, I had to cut more hair to complete the bangs and I decided to go ahead and create a shoulder length bob.
The reason this is an interesting story to me is because of what I did as a kid. When I was about her age, I cut my own hair...creating bangs that my mom never wanted on me or my sister (just like me not wanted them on Marley). Also, when I was about 6 and Stephanie was 4, I cut her bangs as well...I guess it was destiny that I would end up a hairdresser (okay, almost).
It will be interesting to see what Marley chooses to do as a career...will she be a hairdresser too?!! Only time will tell. :o)

IT TAKES 2...to fall asleep?

At the old house Christopher & Marley shared a room and bunk beds for about 6 months. When we moved, we decided to let Marley have her own room and the boys should share a room. Fortunately, the boys' room is huge and can fit both Christopher and Jaxon's bedroom furniture with a ton of room left over to play. So, at the moment Jaxon still sleeps in his crib, while Christopher has the bunk beds all to himself. We have a strict bedtime for the kids which is between 7-8pm every night. However, it seems that occasionally it is a wee bit early for our rug rats and Christopher & Jaxon will be heard talking and laughing together. Well, one night after we put everyone to bed, we could hear the boys talking and laughing together...so, we decided it was harmless, figuring they would eventually fall asleep. After realizing that we had not heard them in a little while, I decided to check on them (all part of the motherly paranoia). To my AMAZEMENT, I found the both of them asleep in Jaxon's crib, side-by-side! I thought this was so cute...it could be worse...they could dislike each other! I captured this moment on camera and thought I would record it! These kid's of ours crack us up all day and night long!
