My girls needed uplifting ...so we went out and about yesterday..and today for our Homeschool Co-op they were both sporting new haircuts and new tops(shirts).  Nothing like a new doo to make ya feel like a woman...hehe.  With the posting of my last entry my eldest has decided to start wearing a few more items of clothing that look a bit more "girly".  Now if I can just get her to quit walking like a football player...hehe.  She has a determined walk...she is going to get in there and get the job done...whatever job that may be.

ok...kind of a new subject...

We have developed a new tradition in our family...and not sure how it started...but...each night as the Major and I are crawling into bed the girls come running in and plop in with us and we spend usually half an hour or more chatting about our days...

the Dad of course grumbles a bit...ahhh...go to bed would ya???  he is not a night person...I am...but I know he loves his girls yakking away about everything.  And this is the best part.....they are talking to us about everything!!  So as much as I would love to have my room off limits to these teenage girls...I can't give that up for anything!!!  When I was little my parents room was the inner sanctum...you only went in there when they weren't home to snoop...and my heart would beat so hard I could feel it in my ears....and I always knew that they would know if I had been in there!!!aaahhhhh!!!

We will continue these nightly mattress meetings...it's a great way to end the day!!
