so the little princess who keeps saying she wants to grow her hair out and have it be long, came home from school today and declared that she needed a hair cut and she knew exactly how much she wanted cut off...I did agree she did need her bangs cut so, I paid for her to go to Super Cuts and she came home and it does look cute...we have a problem with her hair anyway, it always looks frizzy, no matter what we put on it...I have paid for expensive conditioners and leave in-s and it always looks weird...I bought a leave in from Wal Mart and it is not really working like I want it to...the last leave in I got before was from Super Cuts and a little expensive, but I am learning that cheaper is not always better when it comes to Zoe's hair...
do you like her dress? a Hanna Andersson...love their Swedish knits so much...I bought 6 matching pieces to this dress and I am loving the fit on her...so so comfortable...and the weather here has been so cooperative with sundresses, in the high 90's...was down to 80's today and by Friday supposed to be in the 60's for a few days...man will I love that...
we went out to dinner tonight, thought we needed a night out...
Chili's was so good tonight...you have got to try their new "Big Mouth Bites," they're little hamburger sliders with bacon and carmelized onions, served with onion straws and ranch...ohhhh so good...Ross and Tim did the 2 for $20 dinner and with that you get a free appetizer so we got the "Texas Cheese Fries," and then I had a free coupon for an appetizer, so we got the "Loaded Potato Skins..." we had a couple of to-go containers, and have had our fill of bacon, cheese and potatoes...dinner came out to be $6 after my gift card...such a good night...
tomorrow? tis a babysitting day...and I have no problem at all with babysitting Cj except for the getting up part...I have to get up about 4:30 for him as the other grandma drops him off on her way to work...it sure is not a problem for him...
4:30 am comes awful early, but I go to bed at 8:30 the night before to prepare...
Cj knows the drill, cutie pie that he is, gives other grandma a kiss and comes into Gracie jumping on him and licking his face, goes right to the couch without a word, puts his head on the pillow, I give him a kiss, take off his shoes and he is asleep that quickly...
he will sleep till about 9:30 every single time...
so, see he is not the problem, it is that I hate to get up that early, even tho some mornings I am already up, just don't want to be...
I started watching him after the new baby was born and Cj was jealous and to get attention from the other grandpa (he watches the kids while grandma works) he would do some naughty things...one time Grampy was in the shower and Cj mixed dish soap and slushy syrup and put it all over his sister's bed...so yeah...not real good...his favorite thing to do it take off all of his clothes and run out the door and run around their cul-de-sac, so they put locks up high where he could not reach them, now he goes out the windows...and he does not listen to them at all...
so, I said I would start watching him 2 days a week, and then they put him into preschool 2 days a week also...
now, for me I do not have one bit of a problem with him at all unless he has a watchful audience like if Zoe comes home from school early and especially if she brings a friend, then he will tend to act up...but usually he and I get along very well and he listens to Grandpa and me...
