While the Cat's Away...

Mama M. will play!! ;)

Mr. Wonderful and Big A. took off today on a manly deer hunting weekend.

mr.wonderful nine point buck hunting opener weekend
Which leaves me "widowed" with four small children.

We live in the middle of the woods, surrounded by cornfields...

Which means at this time of the year we are surrounded by hung-over men in blaze orange camo, bearing guns.

Irrational fears set in...

And my children aren't allowed outside unless they are wearing blaze orange head to toe.

I think I'm booking a trip to Disney next year.

Irrationally yours,

    We live in the boonies too and a few years ago a bullet whizzed by our neighbor and lodged in his kids' swing set. Don't even get me started on hunters that shoot around houses...ughhh

    Great blog!

    I don't think your fear is irrational, in this case.

    I don't think you are being irrational at all! We live in the city so no hunting here unless you like squirrel roast.

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!
