Father's day 2012

The thursday before fathers day, we had a blast me and the kids making their farhers day presents. I bought three white shirts, one for each important guy in my childerns lives. Meaning daddy, papaw, and grandpa. We also bought them some father day cards too. I wanted totry the bubble painting and instead of using paper we used t-shirts. The kids loved it expect the bubbles kept floating and wouldnt pop on the shirt, so instead we just flinged the bubble soultion on the shirts and then threw them in the dryer. Then i wrote some sayings on the shirts with puffy paint. The guys loved them, I could not get a picture of them wearing their shirts, but they wore them that day and the kids were so happy that they loved them. Now tell me how u spent this year's father day with your father. We are always looking for new ideas on how to spend father's day with these special guys.

My First Fishtail Braid

Hey guys, So I have been on pinterest a lot lately and looking for little girl hairstyles. My daughter has medium length hair and when it is not brushed it is messy but even when it is brushed and left down and everything it is still very messy. So I have been looking for new wonderful ways to get my daughter's hair unmessified (a word I just made up) and lately on pinterest there has been a bunch of posts or repins about braids and different kinds of braids. The only braids that I have ever known how to do is a regular braid and a french braid. Those two types of braids I usually do on my daugther right before she goes to bed cause she likes to wake up with curly hair since her hair is straight and even if you curl it and put product on it, it will still fall down. Today is the last day of school for my daughter, and yesterday I learned how to do a fishtail braid. So I did a fishtail braid on my daughter today before she went to school and it turned out great. I loved it and she loved it, although it only lasted a couple of hours cause my daughter plays hard, it was still neat to actually learn something new to do on my daughter's hair. Here are some pictures of the braid and what it looks like in the front
The Braid Itself

The Front of the Hair

The braid itself is very lose fitting and you can tighten it but it will eventually become very lose, so natuarlly I have learned that this braid is very cute but is not meant for a four year old who is going to be running around playing all day. To bad my hair is short esle I would do this to my hair, oh well I guess I will have to let it grow out now.
