Am I too young to have a heart attack? I don't know the statistics, but I thought I was having one (or a really extreme panic attack!) when we took Jeff to Supercuts this morning. Little dude desperately needed a haircut (after the third time in one hour of someone thinking he's a girl, yeah, time for the scissors!), so we decided today was the day.
When we got there, at least two people were ahead of us, so we settled down for a wait. Jeff had other plans. It included running around, grabbing some of the hair products off of the shelves and grinning at us proudly. Ha, so I sent Scott chasing after him. Hey, I figured I get him all day during the week, so an hour or so of Scott chasing the little dude won't hurt, right?
Anyway, when the stylist called Jeff's name, my heart nearly stopped. He was already a little crabby from this morning (woke up that way, not my fault!), so I was convinced he was going to scream and cry once the scissors and comb started his way.
To my surprise, Jeff did very well. The stylist was well prepared: she stuck a lollipop into Jeff's mouth before anything else, then plopped him down onto Scott's lap, caped and all. And then...he sat quietly, sucking quite contently on the sucker while the stylist worked quickly; she even commented on how well Jeff was doing, which made me proud, lol.
And then, it was all over. Jeff got down and proceeded to run aaround, proudly showing off his new 'do. Well, as proudly as any 18-month old can, anyway, lol.
Later in the day, we colored and decorated Easter eggs for tomorrow. Star Wars deco for Ryan & Ethan, Hello Kitty for Vanessa, and Kung-Fu Panda for Jeff. It's gotten a bit more creative since I was little. When I was younger, those coloring kits came with the color tablets, the egg dippers and maybe some stands to hold your eggs. Of course, at the time I thought that was the shizzle, but now?
The kids' kits came with the aforementioned essentials, PLUS egg wrappers that shrink around the egg when dunked in boiling water, stickers, glitter and mini posters. Ryan & Ethan's also came with cardboard parts to create a TIE fighter egg (Star Wars), which Ethan calls his TIE Egg, lol. Good times.
Easter dinner is at our house, so a little bit of cleaning was in order. It was really easy since 3 of the 4 kids were at my parents' house (making bunn cakes!), and since they've been home, only the kitchen has taken the brunt of it. But, dinner's not until 6pm, so we have time after church to do some sprucing. Which translates into throwing every stray item into the office and shutting the door, lol.
Good times! ;-)
