A busy day

Jarrod, Archer and Stratton. . .

Saturday afternoon we went to Searcy to have a birthday dinner with Jarrod's family for his dad. Stratton had spent the night with his "Nan & Pa" Friday night and most of the day Saturday Aunt Jennifer and cousin Archer had been at their house, too. They had a garage sale Saturday morning so he had a big day! We got there about 4pm and ran to the new Hays Kid's store- which was really nice, if you haven't been you should go! We made it out without buying anything, too! But I have made a mental list for Stratton's fall and winter wear. One thing includes little Merrell Mocs and Georgia boots (just like Jarrod's- sooo cute)!! I almost had to buy them but managed to convince myself that he wouldn't be able to wear them for a couple of months anyway so I should just wait! haha! I really didn't even look at the women's stuff! That's what happens I guess when you become a mom?!! It's so sad and I never thought it would happen to me, but it has! Margie and Terry grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner and we brought Gigi's cupcakes for dessert! It was late when we left, and Stratton was sooo tired. When we got home he didn't even wake up! We put his right in his crib and he didn't wake up till morning! I was surprised, most of the time he wakes up when we get home and wants some milk. He did wake up at 5 am, though. So I guess not having that last cup of milk did eventually catch up with him. Sunday was pretty laid back. I actually got to take about an hour nap! I guess the days of my 3 hour Sunday afternoon naps are over!

My new "do"

I decided to try something different and get a body wave! It normally takes so long to blow dry my hair and when it's 100 degrees and you have a one year old that gets into everything, not only do I not want to stand there and have heat blowing on me for 40 minutes, but it's almost impossible unless Jarrod is at home to be able to spend that much time on my hair anyway! My thought was if I got a body wave I could just scrunch it and go- no blow drying! It's working ok. I mean I am definitely saving time, but it doesn't look the way I thought it would. It's much tighter than I thought it would be. I hate posting pictures of myself, but due to insistent demand, I am giving in.

I got a body wave one summer in college, but it was before I met Jarrod so he has never seen my hair even remotely curly-since normally my hair is straight as a board. I didn't tell him what I was doing either! I love to get my hair cut, or colored and surprise him! He liked it, but Stratton didn't want anything to do with me for a little while! So far it's been nice with all this heat and humidity. I am curious to see how long it lasts. If my memory serves me correctly I don't think the one I had before lasted very long, and I probably won't make this my new permanent hairstyle!
