I Guess his Hair was a Little Long

Well, I finally broke down and took Bubby to get a haircut. I wanted to do it before Patrick gave him a high and tight. I got get Sissy's ends trimmed, too.

We went to this place in Wilmington called "Sweet and Sassy." Let me tell you, this place was amazing. It was an actual spa for kids! I felt like a dirt farmer walking in with my sweatshirt and my 5 inch Rainbow Bright roots. Oh well, at least my kids looked good.

Anyway, this place was a full service spa with the following perks: boutique, make-up corner, nail spa, catwalk, candy bar, Plasma TVs (showing Hannah Montana of course), and a complete powder room. Unbelievable!

M and B did fantastic! McKenna sat like a princess the whole time and got rewarded with glitter spray for her hair. Bubby did great and sat still until they played his jam, "The Best of Both Worlds." Of course, he had to dance and clap while he was getting his cut. (He's is the only kid in the universe that would dance during his first haircut.)

I was so happy with the cuts that I would highly recommend "Sweet and Sassy" (it's a chain.) However, I had a horrible experience with M's first cut (a time period I refer to as the Summer of the Mohawk) that anything would have been an improvement.

Mandy had this pool on her blog and I thought it was so fun. So, I stole the idea.

The Man of My Dreams

Real men do housework.

No More Sundays

Little Gertie

Sundays are forever banned from the Knapp household until further notice. Here's why:

About a week before Christmas, I was taking a shower while shooting the breeze with McKenna. Here's an excerpt from our conversation:

M: Mommy, Albert (I changed the name) kissed me today at school.

Me: (I drop the shampoo, grow grey hair, and develop several more wrinkles) What? What do you mean he kissed you? (God, she is my kid)

M: On the cheek.

Me: McKenna, we let our friends hug us, not kiss us. We only let our family kiss us.

M: Okay, Mommy.

Fast Forward to yesterday......

(I picked McKenna up from school and her teacher said "Albert and McKenna are so cute together." "They're quite the little item." I said, "What?" Then, I said, "Let's not tell her Dad." So I question McKenna about Albert on the drive home.)

Me: So why is Albert your friend?

M: He's really nice to me. He shows me how to cough in my sleeve. He wants to marry me.

Me: (I almost drive off of the road in extreme terror. My heart feels like it's not beating. I compose myself) Well, what did you tell him?

M: I told him I was marrying Bubby.

Me: Honey, you can't marry your brother.

M: Well, I can't marry Daddy cuz he's old. I'll marry Jamie.

Me: Honey, Jamie is Mommy's cousin. Plus, he's already married to Debbie and he's older than Daddy.

M: He is ? Are you sure he's older than Daddy? (Sorry Daddy)

Me: Yes.

M: I'll marry Uncle Eric.

Me: He's married to Aunt Mandy. Sweetheart, you don't need to decide who to marry right now. Wait till you are a grown up.

M: All right, I'll decide on Sunday.

On a side note: M went to the Pediatric Opthamologist today. She got her eyes dilated and got these cool glasses. When she put them on, she reminded me of my gram, Gert. Too funny.

Who Do You Think Little Knapper #3 Looks Like?

Mommy Observation: Your first child gets spoiled rotten and you worry nonstop about his/her every waking move. Your second child gets somewhat spoiled and you worry nonstop about his/her every waking move. Your third gets screwed in the spoiled department, but you still worry nonstop about his/her every waking move.

Conclusion: It has taken me three weeks to figure out how to scan the new baby's ultrasound pics. She was just starting to get her arm and leg buds. (No, I don't know if it's a girl, but I'd be willing to bet money on it.) She may look like a little blob, but she's a darling blob.

My Kid is Too Dang Cute!

I'll say it again. Portrait Innovations is the place to go for kids' pics. They did an amazing job with Bubby's First Birthday Pics. We were there for a total of 2 hours. This included the 20 minutes for the picture sitting and the 20 minutes it took to develop the pictures. The rest of the time was filled up with diaper changes, McKenna's potty breaks (Yes, she's finally in big girl panties! Hallelujah!), and a trip to Starbucks for some cupcakes to share. I should say some frosting to share. We had a great day!
