Mullet Love

Ellie likes to use scissors. If you ask her preschool teacher, she is very careful and precise when doing so. Well, last week, she came out of the bathroom with a pair of scissors in each hand and a mullet! As you can see from the picture, she was very proud of herself and did not want the mullet touched! I tried to reason with her as I dialed a friend of mine who cuts hair, PROFESSIONALLY but, she was determined to keep the mullet. So, after much consideration from both her and the adults, we were able to disguise the new creation with pigtails and a big flower barrette. It will at least buy us some time until it grows out a little more. What do you think, a possible career for her in the future?

"Angel Lullaby"

Putting my younger children to bed last night made me stop and think. I was so tired and just wanted to go to bed but, they asked me to sing them a song, which I normally do when it is a little earlier. They have never asked me before, it is just something we do, along with reading a book. Well, I immediately thought of "Angel Lullaby," this was a special song in my household growing up. We incessantly listened to "My Turn On Earth." You could even say that each one of us had our favorites. However, when our special needs, younger sister passed away, it became evident that we all favored one in particular. "Angel Lullaby" was sung at her funeral. I haven't talked about my sister, Cari for awhile but, this gave me an opportunity to share her with my younger children. I could hardly get through the last verse but, what a blessing a few extra minutes were. I am so glad that this time I didn't rush off to bed and miss this opportunity. Here is the song below. I do not know who the baby or family are but it is touching and is the same version from "My Turn On Earth."
