New look to surprise Daddy... oh, and one other little thing!

The girls are being surprised by their Daddy tonite, but Donny will also get a big surprise.  Sarah got a haircut today and she looks adorable!!  Here are some shots  ~ Before and After~

Sarah and Molly trying to look at the camera... but the sun was just "in our eyes"!

Sarah waiting her turn.  Wide eyed excitement on her face! Molly loving on "ellie"!

She wanted to see how long her hair was, so we snapped this picture!  Crazy long!

                         Still smiling!

Not so much now, but only because she couldn't watch the cartoon on the screen in front of her!!

                A quick blow dry and ...


We are right back where we started... with the "sun STILL in our eyes" but loving the new haircut!  Ready for Daddy,  but they have no idea he is coming home!!

By the way, did you happen to read this?  Here are some shots of what happened after that trip to "camp"!
Say hello to WHISKERS... the hamster who lives with us now!

He joins the dog, Bronson and the fish... Suckky, Spotty and Swimmy!

Sarah just loves him!  Wait till Daddy sees this!!

HOORAY!

MY DONNY COMES HOME
- FOR GOOD -
TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!

After what has been the LONGEST summer of my life, my hubby is returning home to be a stay at home daddy to my girls, a partner in crime to me, and a permanent fixture at my house. I've started back at school with 26 first graders - Love it, but am SOOOOO tired each day! It is such a blessing that Don will be home so that I don't have to ask my mom's permission to go out (she's my ONLY babysitter), nor will I be the only parent at home! It'll be great to go home and maybe sit for a few minutes without having to break up a fight or screaming match. It will be super to have an adult to talk to! It will be wonderful to leave my sleeping children in their cozy beds instead of ripping their tired bodies out from under warm covers at 6 in the morning. Not to mention, when my dang dog runs away, Don can chase him. Don can take the garbage out, Don can mow the lawn (since I've broken the lawnmower twice...), and Don can give me hugs each day! Can you tell I'm just over the moon? I love that man!
