A Little Adventure

Holly’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago. She was pretty excited to have her birthday! It was a busy day. The day started with a nice walk on the trail. After that we came home to get ready for the day and to finish cleaning the house. After lunch, we headed out to go see the doctor. Holly did well at the doctor’s office and didn’t cry too much for her shots. The only problem was that she fell asleep on the way there.

After visiting the doctor we went to pick up Milo a little early so that Holly could sleep for a little bit. After we picked Milo at school, we stayed at home for a short time then headed out to the Bobcat Bash (the big fundraiser for Milo’s school). We first got snow cones and then went on the inflatable toys. After doing that for a short time, we ran into our neighbors and went with them. We went inside the school to look at the silent auction as well as ride the train. After that it was time to go home.

After dinner, our neighbors came over for fruit pizza and to open presents. Holly enjoyed her presents a lot. She got a camera, some games, clothes, books, a game and a few games for the computer. She did start to wind down and became pretty tired. All in all she had a great birthday!

The pictures below are Holly bouncing in the inflatables and also her pizza with candles.

I got a coupon in the mail for a hair salon for kids. I thought, I would try it for Holly and go have her hair trimmed. I did it yesterday since the coupon was about to expire.

Her idea of getting her haircut meant that Dad would cut all her hair off and she’d take her shirt off. I told her that no, we were going to a store and a lady was going to put a sheet type thing on her and she’d cut her hair.

We arrived just before the store opened. When I got out to go inside, I realized we needed to change her underwear. After taking care of that, I realized that someone else had walked in right before us. We had to wait a few minutes. When it was Holly’s turn, she did very well. She got a sucker to suck on as well as movies while her hair was cut. The lady took a bit of time trying to get Holly to cooperate to get her hair straight. She did as well as she could. After the haircut, Holly got a cute little bow in her hair and prize at the end. It was a great experience.

Here’s some pictures of before, during and after. The before picture is at the bottom.

A few weeks ago, I got an invite for a poetry tea in Milo’s class. When we arrived today, we were greeted by Milo and were lead to sit at his desk. After the other parents arrived, each child read two poems. At the end the kids recited a poem as a class. After we had refreshments and drinks. Milo was suppose to get our drink first, then he could serve himself. It was nice experience. Holly even behaved herself. I have a little video of Milo’s second poem. I have attached a picture of it so you can see it too. It has a lot of extra noise and you can’t hear him well, but I hope you get the idea.
