Snow Days...

How could you not love them! Breaking up our usual RAIN with snow and even sunshine...these past few days have been awesome!

The kids love getting outside. Walks in the snow, snowball fights...snow castles. They have been having a great time; and with enough layers, they have been staying warm allowing us to stay out for hours at a time! Lots of fresh air and fun moments.

You would think this would aid in sleep...but not with our kids!
Last night Si got to go for a sleepover at Gee-Gee's house (aka Grandma)...from this, we have officially ruled that Si is the bedtime problem. Kai will go to bed...and sleep in. It is his sister that adds to the enticement of playtime all night long...and she, being the early riser, then wakes him too. Last night, thanks to her overnight, even T slept for 8 STRAIGHT HOURS! Pure peace.
Now, our chore...getting Si to sleep!

Here are a few photos from snow days...

bundled and ready!

not impressed with the camera

staying warm...but can barely walk because of it.

Did you notice the hat...

Yes, he likes it. Yes, it's warm. Yes, his wife thinks he's a dork...but loves him anyway!

Haircuts...

Yesterday was haircut day. Kai's hair was getting so long it was almost ponytail-able; and Si's was constantly in her eyes.
We cut Kai's hair a little shorter this time as he seems to have my hair, the type that grows really fast!
I don't know what it is, but whenever we leave the hairdresser his hair always looks so cute...and then for a couple days after that, it tends to look a little "botched" shall I say. It is now in need of a little growing and then I am sure the shaggy look will fill in a little more.

Si has some curls in the back of her hair that are slowly pulling longer and a little straighter. So because of the curls, she never really needed a haircut. This was her FIRST HAIRCUT! She got a little trim at the back, and then her bangs were cut so she could see.
Her bangs naturally tend to sway to the side, and yesterday, leaving the hairdresser, like Kai, her hair looked so cute...
Today, a little "botched." Like to the point that I wonder if I should have just cut them myself! Hopefully the bangs begin to fall a little better and grow a little faster!

I tried to take a few photos, but both were not very camera-friendly yesterday. Here are two I captured of Si with my phone to commemorate her first haircut.
