Haircuts, babysitting, and more

Hey Blog readers,
So on Friday, I babysat in the morning and when I got back at a little after noon, I ate lunch, read, and did some chores until it was close to 3pm. Then my mom and I left to get my haircut. I took 2 inches off the bottom, fixed up the layers, and cut my side-swept bangs. After the haircut I easily could tell that I was going to like my haircut! Sara (the nice lady who cut my hair) was super friendly and did a great job! Here is a before and after picture.

After



You can't see the layers very well in this picture but they do look really nice. So after I got my haircut, my parents went out to eat and I stayed home with my siblings. Baby was sleeping for the most part so I mostly did clean-up after making dinner.

Saturday morning I babysat from 8am to 12:15pm and my family got back from the chiropractor about 30 minutes after I had gotten home. We mostly relaxed, did some chores, and had family time on Saturday. My dad and I went to Kohls and I bought 4 camies for the price of one! Then we went to get a pizza at like 10pm and got it half off. So that was our crazy late night snack for the week.

Sunday morning was kinda crazy because AJ woke up real early and fell asleep when it was time to go to church so we stayed home and did Bible time together as a family. Again, we didn't really go anywhere and just layed back and enjoyed one another.

Monday was nice. I took my baby brother for a walk with my other brother at about 8:30am. It was kinda cool but it felt nice because it was sunny. We did reading as a family and devotion time. I worked on my story and read my English assignment. That evening, my friend invited me over and we hung out together at her house which is rather close to mine.

Tuesday was great too. I took another walk with my brothers early in the morning. I just love early starts because it seems that then the day doesn't go by too fast. Too many people are go go go and not enough relaxation taking in God's beauty. I babysat as usual and fortunatly wasn't locked out of the house. After babysitting, I came home a few minutes after my dad and we had dinner. We relaxed with one another the rest of the evening.

Today was a bit crazy because I was up with AJ three times last night and so I missed over 4 hours of important sleep! He was up at 2am, 3:30am, 5am, and then stayed awake with me from about 6:55am til my mom fed him at 7:41am. He slept in my mom's bed. My mom had to go get our car from the shop because we needed our key controller locks to be fixed. My brother mowed the lawn while I took care of AJ and my sister and cleaned up the house because my grandma Rose and great aunt Lynn came over today. We had a nice visit and I was happy to see my aunt because we don't see her very often besides holidays with all the family. My dad came home as they were leaving and we went to the chiropractor. AJ slept the way there which was good because he was getting sleepy. When we came home from the chiropractor, it was almost 7pm. We hadn't had dinner yet and so we whipped up sizzle steaks, cheese rice, mozerella cheese sticks, and carrots (we needed something healthy with all those carbs!). My mom and I took a walk after cleaning up dinner. We met a new neighbor and she may be using me soon to babysitt her two little ones. I just looove babysitting because I just adore little kids. Not that they aren't cute when they are older but the younger ones and just so fun! After our walk, I helped my mom give baby a bath and then we watched home videos of when my sister was a baby and my brother and I were toddlers, over 8 years ago! We were a funny trio. Now I am here after brushing my teeth and saying family prayers.

Tell me what you think of my haircut!!!

Goodnight,

Butterfly
