- HAIR DAY(S), BUT ALMOST DONE! -

well, monday night since kiara was missing school anyhow, i decided i'd go ahead & start with her (giving her a new 'do) tuesday morning & then do the other 2 since they'd school - well, in theory that makes since, but oh my goodness, i'll never do that again! - what was i thinking making an already sick child go throug having her hair done?!?! - poor baby girl, mommy's sooooo sorry - she handled it alright, with only minor tears, but with many, many, many breaks (but that's alright) - we got it finished & she loves it... WHEW! - i then took karleigh's down & did hers last night - she did wake me up in the middle of the night saying her 'hair hurt' OOOPS! - it's been a long time since i've braided it too tight, but this time i did more of a veil style on top so i wanted to make sure it stayed (guess that's not an issue now, huh?) - she didn't complain at all today, so i think she'll be fine - today after ruby got home from school, i took hers down & gave her a bath, got her conditioned really well & she's now ready to go first thing in the morning - i'll finish her tomorrow & we'll be done until the end of october YEAH - even though have 3 bear cubs with heads full of hair, different textures, different lengths & hair that takes soooo much time, i'd do it all again in a minute as i love doing their hair! - they enjoy having it done & i love doing it - our kids almost never get candy (alright, unless they're at nana's house, right mom?... mom AKA 'queen of the chocolate snacks for the grandkids') - what works for us here at home's on hair days, whomever's in the 'hair seat' can have suckers - they can have as many as it takes me to braid their hair, just so long as they don't chew them - they've got to lick only & then they can have more - 1 bite & they're done! - it's funny because they're all so eager to be in that 'hair seat' & getting suckers, but they don't even ask before it's their time - i'm so glad i didn't give in a long time ago & give the 'waiting ones' suckers to help them wait as it wouldn't be as effective as it is now - i'll take pictures of them all 3 after having it done, but here's a couple pictures of the pattern i'm using, taken of kiara last night [keep smilin']
