Elliona's Special Day

This past Saturday we brought Elliona to Cleveland to see Disney Princesses On Ice.  We have never brought her to something like that, so it was a SUPER special day!  She absolutely LOVES the Disney princesses and was counting down the days!  She had her outfit and her hair planned out for a week!!!  She wanted to dress-up as Rapunzel and her hair had to be braided on both sides and meet in the middle and go down in the back.  She would wear regular clothes for the drive and for going out to dinner.  Then would change in the car when we got there.  Those were my specific directions and that's exactly what we did!!


This is how she wanted her hair done, so it would look like Rapunzel's.  I loved it and I wish she would let me do it like that all the time!!






Those are some pics of us when we got there and she got all dolled up!  She was so cute!!




The whole show was very entertaining and soooo cute!!  They performed condensed versions of The Princess and The Frog, Cinderella, and Tangled.  Elliona was very excited about getting to see Rapunzel and of course it was the last one.  It was totally worth the wait!  Rapunzel and Flynn did tricks by holding on to long pieces of her hair suspended from the ceiling.  They flew off the ice and through the air so effortlessly and their hands where the only things clinging themselves to the hair!!!  Rich and I was very impressed!!




A scene from The Princess and The Frog.



I don't think I have to say who this is.



This is part of the finale where they are welcoming Rapunzel and Flynn Rider to join the rest of the princes and princesses.



Elliona really liked the show and is already talking about when she gets to go again.  Little girls are so fun.  We are so blessed to have such a beautiful lit'l princess Elli!!!!!!!

Here's A New One

It's 9:50 pm and my kids won't go to sleep because I am out of drinks, besides water and milk!!!  And you know that WATER IS SOOOOO GROSS!!!!!  So, out of pure desperation I melted a peach popsicle and mixed it with water and they loved it!!!  Hey, what ever works!  Right?

Hair Update

Sorry guys no pics for you on my crazy hair!!  I hate it sooo much I can't bring myself to post one.  So, I went and bought the color to try and redo the red.  It didn't really do much, just maybe made it a little bit brighter.  Now, since I have colored my hair two times in one day I have to just live with this hair color for a little while.  Not happy!!!!  So, FYI if you have dark brown hair and want to put a funky color in it, you have to bleach it first!!!!

Hair Color Gone Bad

First of all let me start this off by saying, that I do not let anyone color my hair!!  Over the years, I have been through way- too- many- to- list hair colors gone bad.  Therefore, I am the only one I trust to color my hair!  So that being said, I decided to ask the girl who has been cutting my hair off-and-on for 12 years to put a funky red just in the front of my hair!!!  I was really going out on a limb here, she has never colored my hair and I had no clue how talented she was in that area.  She is awesome at cutting my hair and I can't find anyone that can cut like her.  So, I thought I would give it a shot.

Today she came over to give me a trim and do my color.  The cut is great, but guess what happened with the color???  Yep, color gone bad!!!  I'm not even sure if it's bad; it pretty much is just like it never happened!!  You can't even see it at all, I am soooo sad!  She wanted to bleach it out and do it again, but I don't want to put bleach on my hair.  No thanks, I like my hair not falling out!!!  So, I just ventured out to the local Rite Aid and bought me some red hair color and I am going to take care of business myself!!  I will let you know how it turns out!!!

Movie Night


Back in July, I read Water For Elephants ( I talk about it here) and if you look over to the right in My Favorite Books list, you will see it!  I really enjoyed it.  I was very reluctant to watch the movie, because the movies are usually a HUGE let down!!!  Well, this one was an exception to the rule, in my opinion!!!  My hubby, who did not read the book, even liked it and we hardly ever like the same movies!!!  I don't think it qualifies as a "chick flick", so ladies most of your guys should like it too!!!  Obviously, a lot of stuff was left out of the movie, so I do recommend that you read the book before you watch the movie.
