Weekend Rewind

Saturday:  The biggest event of our weekend came Saturday morning.  I headed to the salon, donated about 9 inches of hair, had about 1-2 inches more cut off in the process of adding layers to my hair, and came home with this!

Here's a photo from July for comparison.

Yea!  I was puzzled at first that I wasn't "wowed" by how short it was.  Then I realized this is the length I had it for a looooong time.  Instead of being startled by a "new" haircut, I just feel like "I" am "back" when I look in the mirror.  It's "me" again! :)

Saturday evening we had a picnic with friends from church.  Anna Reaghan looooved walking all over, and it was fun to watch Asa warm up and get more comfortable and confident to the point he tried new things on the playground he hasn't done before--going up and down steps and such he hasn't tried and climbing UP a slide with his friend Clara.

Sunday:  We went to church in the morning yesterday and then got both kids down for naps right after lunch.  Asa helped Matt finish mowing the yard and then continued to push the mower around the yard (engine off) while Matt grilled chicken for dinner.

This weekend's packing adventures included Asa's closet and the guest room closet (allllmost done).  We're just plugging away at it!

We are unfortunately starting today of on a *grumpy* note, but hopefully we'll make it to rest time and a certain little boy, ahem, will take a niiiiiice, looooong nap and wake up in a better mood
