Wanting by means of my digital camera roll right this moment, I spotted that the majority of my photos are from once I styled Luke’s and Riley’s hair for “loopy hair day” at Trip Bible Faculty. It was a lot enjoyable, although, and the children had been proud of how their hair turned out.
(Though, I’ve to say, having two boys makes me actually glad I by no means needed to cope with styling a lady’s hair–Riley’s is so lengthy and attempting to brush it with out hurting her head was a problem!)
It blows my thoughts, the concepts on Pinterest for loopy hair day. How do individuals provide you with so many inventive concepts after which discover the time to do them?! After wanting by means of a ton of pictures, I picked ones I assumed I *would possibly* be capable to replicate and mentioned that Luke and Riley might decide from these.
Luke’s was easy–he simply wished inexperienced hair with a garden mower connected (as if it is chopping his hair). Nonetheless, I could not discover slightly garden mower ANYWHERE, so I needed to provide you with a plan B on the fly. I noticed a foam airplane and thought perhaps I might coloration his hair blue (for the sky), connect the airplane, after which add some clouds (I used a boa that I discovered at Pastime Foyer, and it did not happen to me that it wasn’t vegan till after I purchased it. In any other case, I’d have used cotton balls.)
The hair coloration is absolutely neat (and vegan!)–I bought it from Sally Magnificence Provide. It is mainly a hair gel, and it comes out after only one wash. (Versus one thing like Manic Panic that stays in for weeks.)
Riley’s hair, however, wanted slightly extra creativity. She wished to have a unicorn horn (made out of her hair, in fact). I walked round Pastime Foyer, on the lookout for issues I might use to provide you with a cylindrical type. The froth cylinders (my first concept) had been too huge. Then I noticed a birthday hat on a headscarf, and realized it was excellent! I might simply take off the decorations and wrap her hair round it. After coloring her hair purple, naturally. To prime it off, I bought a pink bow to place on the base of the horn.
I grabbed bobby pins and barrettes and pipe cleaners and the rest I assumed could also be useful. I began by dyeing Luke’s hair blue with the hair gel. I could not imagine how vivid it was! He wished it to look spiky and I actually preferred it.
Whereas he ran off to let it dry, it was Riley’s flip. I used to be actually nervous about doing the unicorn horn, as a result of I did not have a plan B for her! I began by operating the purple dye by means of her hair (I would hoped the purple could be VERY purple, however it was undoubtedly a extra delicate lavender coloration). By “operating the dye by means of her hair”, I truly imply “combing and apologizing, combing and apologizing”, time and again. It is laborious sufficient to brush it with out the gel, however attempting to coat her hair with it AND type it felt almost inconceivable. She hates getting her hair brushed.
Then I took the decorations off of the cone birthday hat and put the scarf on her. It took some time (and a LOT of the gel-dye) to lastly begin wrapping her hair across the cone. The toughest half was getting it to be clean, as a result of that required a comb–and combs are painful. So I did my finest! (I braided the underside/again a part of her hair and solely wrapped the hair that was on prime of her head.)
I completely love this side-by-side of her face. It is like I took the primary image after which instructed her, “Appear like you are having enjoyable!” after which took the second pic, hahaha.

| I put the rubbish bag round her in order that she did not get gel throughout her again |
I added extra gel with the intention to get probably the most purple I might, after which most likely about 20 bobby pins to carry it in place. If the comb harm, are you able to think about the bobby pins? I do not know the way Becky managed to get her hair so cute on a regular basis.
I did not need it to look too plain, so I added the bow after which the ribbon I had taken off of the hat. In the meantime, Luke’s hair was dry and he got here again for me to complete it by placing the airplane and the clouds on. This was even worse than attempting to do Riley’s hair! Since Luke’s gel had dried, it harm to place bobby pins in it–I attempted alligator clips, barrettes, bobby pins, and eventually… a headscarf and pipe cleaners. I did not love the best way the pipe cleaners regarded, however it was the ONLY means he would let me contact his hair. So we used pipe cleaners to connect the “clouds” and the airplane.
Right here is the ultimate end result:
Aren’t they so cute that they pose like that? I simply requested if I might get an image of the 2 of them, and that is how they posed.
In fact, I wished an image with them, too, so sometime once they have kids and they’re attempting to brush their hair, they’ll bear in mind attempt to channel Aunt Katie’s endurance on today. HAHAHA.
Sadly, they didn’t win the prize the for the craziest hair. I am simply not Pinterest-y sufficient 😉 However Luke and Riley preferred it, in order that’s all that issues!
I feel I forgot to publish this after our trip. Shawn has had this Nova for most likely so long as I have been alive (kidding, however seriously–a very long time) and there’s a lengthy, entertaining story behind it. (Perhaps I will ask him to put in writing about it sooner or later, as a result of it is fairly humorous!) Anyway, you understand how Noah is completely into automobiles? Effectively, he almost died when Shawn let him drive it on his birthday. Noah already knew find out how to drive a guide transmission (from his personal automobile) and he did nice with it. I feel that was the spotlight of his journey! (I feel Shawn was fairly thrilled, too.)
Talking of automobiles, when Jerry and I bought residence from my mother and father’ home, I could not discover my purse wherever. I am infamous for dropping my telephone (I severely NEVER know the place my telephone is) and my telephone was within the purse–so naturally, I’d lose the purse. Jerry went out to the automobile to look once more, and eventually… he discovered it. Verify this out! I assume I bought very fortunate.
One other pic I forgot to publish (and sure, it seems non-photo-worthy). When Duck performs fetch, lots of instances he’ll take the paper ball (or toy) and go put it within a shoe. Once we bought residence from trip, there have been about 4 paper balls and a toy in Jerry’s slipper, haha.

And eventually, I went to the dermatologist yesterday to get a pores and skin verify. I have been so frightened about doing this–considering Sarah died from melanoma, I’ve at all times been frightened of it. However not too long ago, my buddy Martha posted a photograph on Fb of a melanoma she discovered (it is her THIRD time with melanoma). It regarded like a standard mole to me, and whereas I haven’t got lots of moles, I made a decision I would higher simply go get checked out. I ought to have executed it ages in the past. And yearly now.
Mainly, I needed to get completely undressed after which lie down beneath the very unflattering florescent lighting, whereas the physician checked out each sq. inch of my physique (often utilizing a MICROSCOPE). On a scale of psychological discomfort/vulnerability, this rated larger than going to the gynecologist. I would nonetheless select it over the dentist, although (I would select something over the dentist, apart from rotten enamel). A mammogram was the best and most snug, and I would select that over all of them!
I’ve but to do my colonoscopy, although… due to the pandemic, procedures like that bought VERY backed up (no pun supposed, however that labored out effectively) and it takes months to get in. My major care physician mentioned she actually did not suppose there was a rush and it might wait till subsequent yr, when my insurance coverage does not suck anymore. So I am planning on doing it in January or February. I am completely dreading that one! 😉
And that is all I’ve bought. Have an incredible weekend! xo
