Wanting by my digicam roll in the present day, I spotted that almost all of my photos are from once I styled Luke’s and Riley’s hair for “loopy hair day” at Trip Bible Faculty. It was a lot enjoyable, although, and the children have been pleased with how their hair turned out.
(Though, I’ve to say, having two boys makes me actually glad I by no means needed to cope with styling a woman’s hair–Riley’s is so lengthy and making an attempt to brush it with out hurting her head was a problem!)
It blows my thoughts, the concepts on Pinterest for loopy hair day. How do folks give you so many artistic concepts after which discover the time to do them?! After wanting by a ton of pictures, I picked ones I assumed I *would possibly* be capable of replicate and mentioned that Luke and Riley might decide from these.
Luke’s was easy–he simply needed inexperienced hair with a garden mower connected (as if it is chopping his hair). Nevertheless, I could not discover a bit garden mower ANYWHERE, so I needed to give you a plan B on the fly. I noticed a foam airplane and thought possibly I might coloration his hair blue (for the sky), connect the airplane, after which add some clouds (I used a boa that I discovered at Interest Foyer, and it did not happen to me that it wasn’t vegan till after I purchased it. In any other case, I’d have used cotton balls.)
The hair coloration is de facto neat (and vegan!)–I obtained it from Sally Magnificence Provide. It is mainly a hair gel, and it comes out after only one wash. (Versus one thing like Manic Panic that stays in for weeks.)
Riley’s hair, however, wanted a bit extra creativity. She needed to have a unicorn horn (made out of her hair, in fact). I walked round Interest Foyer, searching for issues I might use to give you a cylindrical kind. The froth cylinders (my first thought) have been too huge. Then I noticed a birthday hat on a scarf, and realized it was good! I might simply take off the decorations and wrap her hair round it. After coloring her hair purple, in fact. To high it off, I obtained a pink bow to place on the base of the horn.
I grabbed bobby pins and barrettes and pipe cleaners and the rest I assumed is perhaps useful. I began by dyeing Luke’s hair blue with the hair gel. I could not consider how brilliant it was! He needed it to look spiky and I actually appreciated it.
Whereas he ran off to let it dry, it was Riley’s flip. I used to be actually nervous about doing the unicorn horn, as a result of I did not have a plan B for her! I began by operating the purple dye by her hair (I would hoped the purple can be VERY purple, but it surely was undoubtedly a extra delicate lavender coloration). By “operating the dye by her hair”, I truly imply “combing and apologizing, combing and apologizing”, again and again. It is laborious sufficient to brush it with out the gel, however making an attempt to coat her hair with it AND fashion it felt virtually not possible. She hates getting her hair brushed.
Then I took the decorations off of the cone birthday hat and put the headscarf on her. It took some time (and a LOT of the gel-dye) to lastly begin wrapping her hair across the cone. The toughest half was getting it to be easy, as a result of that required a comb–and combs are painful. So I did my finest! (I braided the underside/again a part of her hair and solely wrapped the hair that was on high of her head.)
I completely love this side-by-side of her face. It is like I took the primary image after which advised her, “Seem like you are having enjoyable!” after which took the second pic, hahaha.

| I put the rubbish bag round her in order that she did not get gel throughout her again |
I added extra gel with a purpose to get probably the most purple I might, after which in all probability about 20 bobby pins to carry it in place. If the comb hurts, are you able to think about the bobby pins? I do not understand how Becky managed to get her hair so cute on a regular basis.
I did not need it to look too plain, so I added the bow after which the ribbon I had taken off of the hat. In the meantime, Luke’s hair was dry and he got here again for me to complete it by placing the airplane and the clouds on. This was even worse than making an attempt to do Riley’s hair! Since Luke’s gel had dried, it damage to place bobby pins in it–I attempted alligator clips, barrettes, bobby pins, and eventually… a scarf and pipe cleaners. I did not love the way in which the pipe cleaners seemed, but it surely was the ONLY manner he would let me contact his hair. So we used pipe cleaners to connect the “clouds” and the airplane.
Right here is the ultimate end result:
Aren’t they so cute that they pose like that? I simply requested if I might get an image of the 2 of them, and that is how they posed.
After all, I needed an image with them, too, so sometime after they have youngsters and they’re making an attempt to brush their hair, they are going to keep in mind to attempt to channel Aunt Katie’s persistence on at the present time. HAHAHA.
Sadly, they didn’t win the prize for the craziest hair. I am simply not Pinterest-y sufficient 😉 However Luke and Riley appreciated it, in order that’s all that issues!
I believe I forgot to submit this after our trip. Shawn has had this Nova for in all probability so long as I have been alive (kidding, however seriously–a very long time) and there’s a lengthy, entertaining story behind it. (Perhaps I will ask him to jot down about it sooner or later, as a result of it is fairly humorous!) Anyway, you understand how Noah is completely into vehicles? Effectively, he practically died when Shawn let him drive it on his birthday. Noah already knew how you can drive a guide transmission (from his personal automobile) and he did nice with it. I believe that was the spotlight of his journey! (I believe Shawn was fairly thrilled, too.)
Talking of vehicles, when Jerry and I obtained residence from my mother and father’ home, I could not discover my purse anyplace. I am infamous for shedding my telephone (I severely NEVER know the place my telephone is) and my telephone was within the purse–so naturally, I’d lose the purse. Jerry went out to the automobile to look once more, and eventually… he discovered it. Examine this out! I assume I obtained very fortunate.
One other pic I forgot to submit (and sure, it seems non-photo-worthy). When Duck performs fetch, a variety of instances he’ll take the paper ball (or toy) and go put it inside a shoe. Once we obtained residence from trip, there have been about 4 paper balls and a toy in Jerry’s slipper, haha.

And at last, I went to the dermatologist yesterday to get a pores and skin examine. I have been so fearful about doing this–considering Sarah died from melanoma, I’ve all the time been frightened of it. However just lately, my buddy Martha posted a photograph on Fb of a melanoma she discovered (it is her THIRD time with melanoma). It seemed like a standard mole to me, and whereas I haven’t got a variety of moles, I made a decision I would higher simply go get checked out. I ought to have accomplished it ages in the past. And yearly now.
Mainly, I needed to get completely undressed after which lie down beneath the very unflattering florescent lighting, whereas the physician checked out each sq. inch of my physique (often utilizing a MICROSCOPE). On a scale of psychological discomfort/vulnerability, this rated larger than going to the gynecologist. I would nonetheless select it over the dentist, although (I would select something over the dentist, apart from rotten tooth). A mammogram was the simplest and most snug, and I would select that over all of them!
I’ve but to do my colonoscopy, although… due to the pandemic, procedures like that obtained VERY backed up (no pun supposed, however that labored out nicely) and it takes months to get in. My major care physician mentioned she actually did not assume there was a rush and it might wait till subsequent yr, when my insurance coverage would not suck anymore. So I am planning on doing it in January or February. I am completely dreading that one! 😉
And that is all I’ve obtained. Have an ideal weekend! xo
