They wanted curls

When Kelsey was little she had a little bit of curl. Audrey has always had my hair, very straight (even though when I was 2, I did have quite the curls). So I bought some of the sponge curlers to see if we could make the curls happen.

Here are the girls all rolled up...not sure why my phone made the picture a little orange.


And the end result for Audrey. Before I pulled it back a little she thought she looked like a boy movie star (I am thinking a Jonas brother) but she reminds me of Annie. She wanted the smallest curlers...the curls ended up very tight!


Kelsey has a lot less hair and she wanted the pink curlers, so hers wasn't as curly.


We had a great weekend. I had a parent teacher conference with Audrey's teacher last week (it was kind of an unplanned one) and she had such good things to say about Audrey. Ever since then Audrey has been picking up books and reading them. I think she heard the teacher tell me that "Audrey is a great reader" and it convinced her that she can or now she knows that I know she is a good reader.

We also went on a bike ride on the Suwanee Greenway. We all made it the 3.5 miles to the end of the trail and then we sent Randy and Pa back to get the cars. It was a great ride with bridges, tunnels, and boardwalks. There were only a few wipeouts on some sandy areas (it looked like it had flooded last week and had a lot of extra dirt on the trail). At the end of the trail we had a picnic with lots of food.

Now back to work.

We love bike rides, but we haven't tried it out there yet. And the girls' hair looks so cute! I HATED those curlers when I was little and with my already curly hair - with those one top, my hair was unmanageable! I still can remember the nights attempting to sleep with those in my hair - near impossible! You should try rag rolling, it's a little looser and a little softer to sleep on - that is of course if you ever wanted to try curls again!

That sounds great. I am looking forward to my girls getting a little bigger so we can enjoy things like that. And they probably need a little more hair for the curlers part!
