More snow

Obviously I can't leave this child alone while I potty and have the cabinet doors unlocked at the same time. 

Yeeeeesh.  Also in this eventful morning I let him go back outside to play.  At first I didn't want to because the snow was so pretty, and there wasn't any more falling to cover up the mess we would make of it.  But when I took some bills out to the mailbox and saw our bushes at the breaking point, ladened down with snow, I thought I would let him roam while I kicked the snow off.  (using your hands hurts due to extreme cold, so yes I did act a fool high kicking snow off bushes).  And by roam, I mean he wanted to go play in the street where the snow wasn't.  *sigh*  Why did I create all that laundry then?  As I was trying to interest him in the snow while it lasted, I made one last attempt at building something.  Not a snowman, since that was an obvious failure yesterday, but a heart that said Happy V-Day!

Eh.  It could be worse. 

Also, the people 4 houses down had a grand 'ole time in their yard, and when they went inside I snuck over and got Luke's picture in their fort. 

Shhhhhh.

I got our footprints in the snow side-by-side.  I love being able to compare how small he is next to me.

Then before my shower I finally broke out my fancy new hair products.  I have a dear friend who's husband works for a high end hair product company, and they gave me some stuff to try out.  After my shower I ran into a little bit of a problem.  See, I don't ever use product on my hair.  Ever.  I used to put a little bit of mousse in when I didn't blow dry it, but I've even stopped doing that.  So I was a little bit confused as to how many of these products to use at one time.  Can I use Root Boost Spray and Thickening Cream Gel at the same time?  Should I follow up with the Weightless Shine Spray?  When do I put on the Firm Hold Hairspray?  All of this seemed like a lot of stuff to put in my hair, especially since it was the VOLUMIZING collection.  Won't all of it weigh it down and make it flat?

I put a call in to my patient friend to maybe give me insight, but she didn't get back to me in time.  I was on my own.   So I just tried the Root Boost Spray, and it wasn't bad!  I could tell that I had product in my hair, but so far so good on not being weighed down or looking over oily. 

Finally tonight we had a little birthday dinner at my grandmother's house for her ?th birthday, which was Wednesday.  Luke was a little smoozer and suckered everyone into giving up their laps, dessert, and conversational time to play.   When we got home, he decided to help feed Daisy.
