Hair begone! and Happy Easter!

Each summer for the last three years I have become increasingly bold with my haircuts.

The first time it was a tentative "just above the shoulders"

The second time it was a pretty ambitious bob.

This week I said "Hack it off!"

Cora has been doing her best to make my hair match Brian's by pulling it out at every opportunity. Now I laugh as my short locks slip slyly through her stubby little fingers.
Is it bad to laugh at victory over a 5 month old baby? No! Hahahahaha.

Ok, so here are the Top Ten reasons I love my new do:

10- No hair pulling!
9- Low Maintenance
8- I still have the longest hair in the family
7-I love running my hands through the short hair in the back
6-I surprise myself in the mirror all the time-- hey, it's me!
5-My hairstylist was cheap AND did a good job
4-Hair dries almost instantly
3- In a few months, I will have a cute bob
2- I cut off enough to donate it
1- I now have a years supply of shampoo and conditioner now that I only need a pea sized drop to wash my hair--So economical!

Ok, now for the easter treats. We went to a easter egg hunt and lunch today with a group of people from church and playgroup. I made jiggler easter eggs. My mom used to make jigglers as a healthy treat for us as kids, and I have recently gotten into doing them as a snack again. It is basically juice and unflavored gelatin. I poured the jiggler concoction into a few different pans, added food coloring and left overnight. In the morning I busted out the egg shaped cookie cutter and Voila! Cute little jiggler eggs. I figure I need to dust my creativity off, because Cora might actually appreciate such things in a few years. The picnic was great, and we tried to get Cora to pick up an egg during the egg hunt, but she just grabbed a handful of leaves. So we picked one up for her. Maybe next year. :0
