First hair cut ever!!!

Earlier this month, Kirk and I decided that Grant's hair was getting too long. I have trimmed his hair before, but Kirk insisted that our little boy still had a mullet and that had to change. We decided to pay for a nice hair cut since it would be his first professional cut ever and we wanted to watch to see how it was done. Surely we can do it ourselves. The cut lasted only 5 minutes. He didn't cry...but he sure gave this lady some dirty looks. Enjoy the pictures!

Grant's obsession, Jackie's addiction, and Kirk

Grant's birthday is in the middle of December...so we find ourselves shopping for both his birthday and Christmas at the same time. We found this slide on sale and thought we would give it to him now and just call it his birthday present. He is not even one yet...so what does he know. Well, he absolutely loves it!!! He wants to climb up the back and slide over and over again...and he loves to be chased!

This kind of ties into my new addiction. In high school and college, I loved to shop. New clothes, new shoes...I wanted them! Well, this desire has left and has been replaced by my shopping for Grant. Clothes, toys, books...he needs them! Browsing the newspaper ads for after Thanksgiving sales/deals (always a hobby of mine)has new meaning.

I don't want to leave Kirk out...he is almost done with his first semester at Rice. He is working hard trying to balance home, work, and school...and I think he is doing a pretty good job. Right now he is coordinating the effort to get our house repaired after Hurricane Ike. It should be back to new by Christmas!!! Yea!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy halloween everyone!!! For Grant's first halloween I decided to dress him up as a scarecrow. We needed something light-weight that could be layered in case it was 50 degrees or 90 degrees outside...but luckily yesterday was actually quite pleasant. It was also Grant's first experience with make-up. I must say that he looked really cute with his rosy cheeks, but I could never capture his smile with the camera. Here are some pictures from the party we went too. Grant had a blast playing with some new bigger kid toys. I hope you enjoy!
