Hair Dying Experiment

So I’ve had my hair highlighted since July and decided to go back to my natural brown color.  I thought “It can’t be THAT hard to color your own hair.” So I bought a kit and with Laynee’s help dyed my own hair. 

 

Here’s the before shot:                              

The solution is in, now I’m just waiting for it to work.

The after shot:                                                                                                     

It actually looked pretty good for about a week and then the color faded.  It doesn’t look quite as highlighted now as it did before but you can still see my brown roots.  Dang. I guess I’ll have to have a professional do it next time.  I should just feel lucky that it didn’t turn my hair orange. 

The funny words kids use

McKinley LOVES M&Ms but she doesn’t know how to say M&Ms so she calls them num-nums. 

Laynee calls elevators alligators.  We’ll be at my or Darrel’s work and she’ll say she wants to ride the alligator. I’ve tried correcting her but she doesn’t remember. Now I think it’s pretty cute. 

Christmas Pictures 2009

 

 

I debated on whether or not to post these Christmas pictures yet since I haven’t mailed out my cards with the pictures in them.  However, the cards should be going  out in the next day or two so I thought “Why not?” 

Apple Orchard Field Trip

 

 

 

 

 

Laynee’s preschool took them to an apple orchard where they got to pick apples, peel and slice apples and make applesauce and apple cider.   Then they got to sit inside and eat their yummy treats. 

Laynee’s post-haircut do

Staci Hunter cut about 4 inches off Laynee’s hair.  The finished product was quite cute.

McKinley’s first haircut

Staci Hunter gave McKinley her first haircut in October.  She actually did pretty well.  I think these pictures of her are pretty hilarious.  

Halloween 2009

My sweet little princesses in dresses their Grandma Bell made.

  

 

 

Laynee and McKinley got to wear make-up for Halloween.  They had fun getting it put on.  Laynee even helped McKinley put on chapstick.

Laynee’s Preschool Party

Laynee handing out Halloween candy

Laynee insisted on sitting out the front porch and giving out candy after we got back from trick or treating.  I think she enjoyed giving out candy almost as much as getting it.

Pumpkin Carving

The girls are lucky they live so close to Grandma and Grandpa Bell.  They were able to come over and carve pumpkins with us one night in preparation for Halloween.  I thought McKinley wouldn’t want to sit still but she enjoyed it.
