Beauty Salon Grand Opening

Today I trimmed Sophia's bangs. They were covering her eyes. As I was combing her hair the comb kept getting caught in her hair .... she has very straight, fine hair. The culprit was not a knot but food!! Are my kids the only ones who wear their food and toothpaste in their hair??

Even though it was the middle of the day I REALLY wanted to wash her hair. So I told the girls we were going to play Beauty Salon!! We moved the kitchen table and set up a "waiting area" complete with magazines (ASK and Highlights) and refreshments (banana bread and RED PUNCH ....... it needs to be used up before we give it up entirely ;-)

We used Catherine's high chair since it can recline. All of the girls and Kolbe had their hair shampoed, conditioned, and combed. I then curled the girls' hair. My salon even served lunch!! After lunch they had their nails painted. I'm so happy their hair is clean again! Now I need to be careful about what I serve for dinner! This has been a very fun day!!

Isabelle LOVES getting her hair washed. We had some good conversation.

What a delightful day! I just might do that with my little girls one of these days.

Oh my goodness how fun!

I wonder if I'll ever meet you one of these days! Based on your pictures, I'm fairly sure I remember seeing you and your children at Mary Clare's funeral...

Yes, we were there. :-( My girls were wearing brown and Catherne was in the sling. Kolbe didn't go because he's very active. Hope to meet you soon!
