The Boys are Back in Town!!


"The boys (and girls) are back in town (the boys (and girls) are back in town),
The boys (and girls) are back in toooowwwnn!"


The camper girls!!

The BWCAW (or "Boundary Waters") was a blast for the fearless campers! Everyone came back alive and unharmed (save for the gash one teenager got that "probably" should have had a "stitch or two"...but, alas, it was not one of my children...so all's well, right?!)...they are down one Barbie fishing pole, but the story goes, they were told, "That's okay Dad, I can just get another one, right?" And that would be my lovely Miss E., speaking like the princess she is (good thing she has a birthday comin' up!).

Their large group of twelve (9 children, 3 adults) got "caught" by the Boundary Waters police...who was asking my BIL in one canoe "Are you with that red canoe?" (he was) To which my BIL replied, "Nope, I don't know them." Mr. Ranger says, "You don't know that red canoe?" BIL confirms, "No." Red canoe then yells out, "Hey Dad, I think this is the portage!!" Busted. Oh, well...Mr. Ranger was kind to them, let them go without a fine, the group then camped on the "edge" of the Boundary Waters at a campground...group consensus was that this was a blessing in disguise!

However, said campground had a resident black bear that roamed the premises, seemingly unafraid of humans. One BIL was "accidentally" about 3 feet away from it! Yikes!!! All the kiddos got to see Mr. Bear (who, apparently was quite large, and quite close) and they got quite a kick out of it. Me? I'm just glad I don't hear these stories until after they're back. And I worry for nothing? I don't think so!

So good to have them home.

    I would have been afraid if I saw that Mr. Bear! Cute photos! :)

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!
