Just the 3 of Us!

This weekend was a bit unusual for us...it was just the three of us all weekend long!  This is a rarity and was a very big treat!  We didn't have much of anything planned, but we did know we wanted to relax and have fun!

Saturday started out with Lila's first haircut!  I had been putting this off as I couldn't quite believe she was old enough to have a haircut, but it was time!  For those of you worried that I cut off her curls, don't be!  I just wanted her to get a much needed trim to get those dead ends off and even things up a bit. 

The first snips!

My hairstylist, Cassie did a great job and Lila was a trooper!  Sitting ever so quietly and patiently as Cassie brushed her hair out and began cutting.  I thought for sure I would get emotional, but even I managed to get through it quietly! 



All done!

I keep hoping that Lila will like her curls a lot more than I did when I was younger.  I am embracing mine a lot more in my adulthood and hoping to teach her how to manage her hair better than anyone taught me.  I have pictures from when I was little that make me cringe, if someone would have just told me to NOT brush my hair, to let it air dry and the curl would take naturally, I could have avoided a few hundred embarrassing pictures and moments!

The finished product!

The rest of the weekend has been spent getting some much needed R&R and things done around the house!  We watched the Iowa vs. Iowa State game, unfortunately the Hawks didn't pull out a win, but it was a great game up until the very end of the third and final OT!

We made homemade pizza last night and ate in our jammies!  Lila is big into drawing, so we spent some quality time drawing pictures and sharing our masterpieces!

Grandma Harvey's famous recipe!



Weekends like these are too few and far between.  It is a bit sad to look at the calendar and realize that we won't have another weekend like this until after the first of the year.  So, we need to remember to make the most of them when they come around!
