Yay, I am no longer an orange tabby cat color! Ryan, my hair guru, told me how to turn glaring orange to hot chocolate. Thank you Ryan, I owe you.

Aria wanted to be in the picture. She's such a diva.

The One Where I Dye My Hair Orange

I have never been good at New Years Resolutions, so bad, I haven't even made them for the last couple of years. So, this year I decided to try something different. (Don't worry I'll be getting to the good part soon.) This year I decided that each month I would choose some thing to work on.

One thing, 31 days, max. I can do that, right? They say it takes 27 days to form a habit, so, maybe I will form a couple of good habits out of this experiment.

January's goal: Not to spend any unnecessary money.

I could buy groceries and gas and I had a Sonic budget (of course, I'm not totally insane). Every day I write down every penny I spend, where it was spent, and if it was cash/check/VISA. 31 days with out spending unnecessary money. In retrospect what I really should have kept track of was everything that I wanted to buy, that I really needed, but didn't. That would take an entire notebook. But I digress, lets get to the fun part. . .

I decided to color my hair, it's been a while, a long while. But remember, not spending money, so I did it myself. I've colored my hair at home before and it's turned out pretty good. This time not so much. The dye had too much red and my hair had too much blonde. Mixed together they make a very nice shade of orange. Pooh Bear thinks "it would be perfect for Halloween, the orange and the black together."

So, because I am not spending money and color correction costs money, my hair is orange. I don't know, it's kinda growing on me. . .

Now that's Fancy, Nancy!

It was the Valentine's Day Party today at school. We couldn't just go with regular ol' hair, now could we? If you think that I am the creative genius behind this cute do, don't get too excited. There are so many great hair blogs out there and I got the idea from SheDoesHair. Drama's teacher liked it so much that she had her show the other 2nd grade teachers and posted this on the classes website (scroll all the way to the bottom). I thought about what I could do to the Boss' hair but since there isn't that much to work with, she was spared from the hair torture today! Too much fun!

Practice makes Perfect

Today we "practiced" hair for our new family pictures that we are taking this Wednesday. OMGosh! These kids have to be the cutest kids I have ever seen! Pooh Bear's not a big sitting for the curling iron kind of girl and complained through practically the whole thing but she is too cute. And Drama, she just loves the girl time, no matter what it is. We even practiced styling The Boss' hair - that was interesting. So here are a few of our practice pictures.
