Brazilian Hair
I've been wanting to have a Brazilian Blowout for a really long time so I finally did it!
And, no, it's nothing kinky - just a straightening process that will hopefully hold for many months to come. My hair has never been so silky or smooth!

Photos in a few hours. . . .
This afternoon was nuts! Well, today was nuts!
I went on Kade's field trip to Wagner Farms in Corrales - which turned out to be a lot of fun. Then I picked Keian up from Trapnell's and we came home to read books and have a little nap together. I set my alarm to get up 10 minutes before it was time to go to the bus so I sat down and quickly checked my email. Well, there was an email from my friend, Erin, that said today was a day on the list of dates I sent her that worked for family pictures - the next one wasn't until October 30th. So after a quick call to Scott to make sure he could meet us by 5:00 I let Erin know we were on. We picked Kirra and Kade up from the bus and raced to Kirra's hair cut that was already scheduled. This turned out to be a blessing because Rebecca styled Kirra's hair so cute! I had everyone's picture outfits ready, except new jeans for Kirra.
After Kirra's haircut we sped to Kohl's, ran in (literally) straight back to the girls section, grabbed three pairs of jeans that were the color I wanted and we hit the dressing room. The first pair was adorable, fit well, we bought them and then we were running out to the parking lot.
At home Kirra was a huge help in finding all the things on the list we had made in the car to bring with us. We were ripping tags off clothes, finding socks and pretty much going crazy. When we do pictures in the fall we also get pictures in our Halloween costumes. Thank goodness they were all out of their packages and hung up nicely. We piled them all in a suitcase, along with changes of shoes and blankets to use when we needed to change. After I got myself ready we were out the door!
We drove down to the Alameda bridge and arrived just a little before Erin. When Erin did arrive, Scott hadn't gotten there yet so I left his clothes to change into the in car and we went to start getting pictures of the kids. Scott said when he pulled into the parking lot, got out of his car and climbed into the van and starting changing his clothes there was a guy that looked like he was ready to call the cops! :)
The pictures went great, the fall colors were amazing and it was a gorgeous evening! It was a crazy dusty mess changing our clothes out there, but we were able to get into our costumes and get some fun shots. After our pictures we changed back into our regular clothes (its just a little to early in October to walk into a restaurant in full costumes). We had promised the kids if they were good for pictures we'd have dinner at Wendy's and get frosty's.
Whew! Glad that's over! I've actually decided it was really stressful for a few hours, but much nicer than stressing about pictures for weeks. This way I knew what the weather was like, I knew that my kids didn't have scraps or bruises on their faces and that we were all healthy. Perfect!
