When I was 10 years old or there abouts, my Mother came up with the idea that if she let me get my hair cut at a real beauty salon I just might realize that it's not so bad looking like a girl. A good idea to be sure but she made one fatal mistake. She dropped me off and said she'd be back to pick me up in half an hour,
without having talked to the hair stylist. "Great!" I thought. I can get any hair cut I want! And I did. And a lovely shag it is too.
And that brings us to today where Scott left the responsibility of picking out some new shoes, shorts and a hat for Eve. So I mosey on over to the children's consignment store across the street and this is the end result. As we were walking to the park afterwards people kept on complimenting me on how cute my little boy was (something my poor Mother heard about her 2nd-to-youngest daughter until I was
13 years old).
Like my Mother who never dropped me off alone at a salon again, I don't think Scott will let me do the shopping for Eve by myself anymore.
You've got to admit, those are pretty sweet shoes.
Our Memorial Day weekend was made extra extra special by the fact that we were able to chick-sit for a neighbor. Scott especially was super excited about this. Other things we did was we went to Discovery Park where Eve insisted on walking herself as we made the 1+ mile hike at a pace of about a 45-minute mile to the look out point where you have amazing views of the Sound. We also went to the Arboretum where Eve played one of her favorite games. She kept Scott busy picking bigger and bigger bunches of dandelions. All in all, a great Memorial Day.

Endless Fun
Looks like Eve won
I think she had just taken a bite of dandelion seeds
I think we've gone to a swing set everyday for the past 5 days.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.
