Puppets

A few weeks ago Berlin set up a fort with the babysitter. This fort was a Puppet Shop. She has been trying to get us to all make finger puppets with her. This past conference weekend happened to be the perfect time to sit down, under the table, and make puppets with her. It was really fun and I am glad that I made the time do this with her.

Here are the puppets that I made (the kids and their halloween costumes):

And now, FINALLY, we can clean up this mess :)

Time for Change

For as long as Finley has had hair (since he was 2), we have always kept it on the shaggy side. We love this look and so does Finley. I have always been the one to cut his hair, but lately it seems like that is all I do. It grows so fast and I just felt like it was time to move-on, try something new and let someone else cut it. Finley wasn't happy with the news. He has always owned and rocked the shaggy do, but he was a bit nervous for the change. I asked him why he was nervous and he said he liked the feel of longer hair. So I asked him if I found some styles with shorter sides, but longer bangs would he like that? He said maybe, so I went and found 4 looks online that I liked and showed him the pics. I told him that he could choose whichever one he wanted. Here are the pics he had to choose from:

  

 

  

Finley wanted #3 (the adult). They are really the same cut just styled differently. In the end, I love the way it turned out and so does he. If anyone is looking for a great hairstylist, visit Sheridan over at 27th Street Salon

He is so handsome!

I hope they call me on a mission...

Our oldest niece and nephew on Ryan's side recently submitted their mission papers. We had the opportunity to be with them as they opened their mission calls. Such a great experience to see such righteous young people so willing to sacrifice a few years of their life to serve the Lord. Love them!
