Laura's Last Day of Kindergarten

Today is Laura's last day of kindergarten.

On her first full day of kindergarten, I was in the hospital with baby Sarah. But Grandma Stum took her to the bus stop and took some first day of school pictures.

After school, Laura came to visit her new sister

And now, about 9 and a half months later, it is the last day of kidergarten. What a difference 9 months makes!

Paul's Summer Haircut

So, I found this post that I started about a month ago. Let's just pretend that it's the middle of May...

One of the new challenges I'm learning to deal with is trying to cut my always on-the-go two year old's hair. Bring out a pair of scissors and he's ducking and weaving. So, I decided to go with the buzzers. Even though they are noisier, Paul seems to handle them a little better. And with a super short cut, maybe it will last all summer.

Before

I grabbed the longest comb (1") and went at it...

 

The casualties

And after all the buzzing, I actually got him to sit still while I trimmed around his ears and the nape of his neck with some scissors.

After

 

Tada!
