The Boy and other things...



This is Jack's first real haircut. All the big boys minus Hayden went to get haircuts. Ken has a certain stylist who he likes to cut his hair- I say she has a little crush on him and he says I'm crazy- whatever. She did a great job with Jack and the rest of the boys and I was very impressed with the lollipop in the mouth scenario. When Jack has a lollipop in his mouth and his hands are trapped under a cape he cannot talk- BRILLIANT!!

We ate lunch after- during which I remembered a bunch of boxes that may or may not have been at the church- these boxes were supposed to be in Eagle River but I had a feeling no one went to get them. We headed over to the church and sure enough there they were. Well, Ken and Ryker both insisted that I had tricked them into doing a church activity- as we had to load up the boxes and drive them out to Eagle River. Seriously, it was completely ridiculous!

We had an interesting Sunday at church. The message was good but the delivery felt like being called before a firing squad- it was completely absurd and made me want to rebel.. I felt very close to Ryker at that moment.

Ken and the big people went to Chicago. They left at 10pm on Sunday night and I found it baffling that no one had a thing packed until about 8pm. They arrived safely and I'm sure they are enjoying many adventures.

I have had an interesting discovery. The main mess makers in this house are all in Chicago as we speak. It is truly astounding at how clean this house is with very little effort...I'm debating whether they can come back or not:)

My new favorite book is Women, Food, and God by Geneen Roth. She is brilliant!
