This is Emily before her second haircut. She was so excited to get it cut and I had really talked it up all week. The minute Bekah sprayed her hair with a water bottle it was all downhill from there. Emily cried and screamed and acted terrible. BUT....the results were beautiful! It is hard to tell the difference in the pictures, but it looks so cute! The next two pictures were taken when we got home. She is so proud of her new look!
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go
