Mason's First Haircut

I finally took Mason to get his first haircut. In my opinion we have needed it for several weeks, but my mother completely disagreed. We all know that he was sporting a serious mullet! Unfortunately, the poor boy has my hair that is really fine with no texture or even the slightest wave. When he was in the bathtub the morning of his haircut, his wet hair reached below his shoulders. Just a week before a friend that I teach preschool with asked when he was getting a haircut because he looked like Terry Bradshaw. We were finally able to coordinate our first haircut with Mr. Thom who had been unable to work due to a broken leg. Please notice the wonderful posture that Mason has during this process. He didn't make a single complaint about it but was very happy to receive his sucker for being so good. The whole process took maybe 5 minutes!

The Bible according to Rush

Apparently Rush has come across a kids friendly Bible translation. We have been working on learning a few key verses. We really concentrate on the monthly Bible verse from preschool. Last month we talked about obedience in chapel at school so our verse was Ephesians 6:1, Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. I cannot think of a better verse for him to commit to memory at this time! Well, I am always asking him what the Bible says and this week I got my favorite answer yet. Rush told me, "The Bible says children obey your parents and tell somebody when you need to poop." He was as serious as he could be and it was all I could do to keep a straight face. I will be sure to remind him on this when he is older.

I was looking at my pics on the computer when I noticed several pics of the boys in the same outfits just two years apart. I thought it was kind of funny to see how different they look. Mason is about 4 months younger than Rush was when each of these outfits were worn. Mason is so much bigger and Rush looks so much older. Rush had probably had 3 or 4 haircuts by 16 months and Mason can't grow anything but the mullet!

The Cutest Thing!

From The Lachina Family

So, Rush's class went to the pumpkin patch on Thursday. We decided to ride with my friend Chrissy who is the Kindergarten teacher and her daughter Caroline who is Rush's friend and his teacher Mrs. Jo. Rush and Caroline are buddies and sometimes I find it scary how much their personalities are alike. Chrissy and I seem to have the same struggles with our very strong willed children! Anyway, Chrissy and I were walking behind them and I don't know how it happened or who initiated this, but it was such a photo op!

I have decided that Mason doesn't get enough face time. So just enjoy his sweet face, enough said.

Tents

Our favorite new thing is to build a tent. Ours might not be as cool as Aunt Susie's 20 year old tent, but it definitely proves to be fun! Of course it is better when you can play in your tent with no pants!
