Today was super busy!!! I didn’t get an early start because my fat ace slept in!!! It is my only day I do get to sleep in with 830am church on Sundays. It really bites trying to get me and three girls to church by 8 freaking 30 am!!! I swear one of these days I am going to shave all their cute ‘lil heads bald and that would give me a whole extra hour to sleep in on Sunday not having to do their hair. All girls!!! Geesh. Oh….wait….in January it moves back to 1130am. HALLELUIAH!!!!!!!!! (in my best choir voice) That is perfect for me! I guess the girls can keep their hair. 
Oh……….tangent. I was saying….I slept in because I was out late the night before at the movies watching The Chronicles of Narnia!!!!!!!! OMIHEAVENS!!!! This movie was everything I hoped it would be and soooooooooooo much more!!! Very moving and entertaining!!!! Probably the best movie I have seen in a very long time! GO SEE IT!!!! I am reading the books to the girls right now. I won’t let them see the movie until they get a little older.
So I had my brother Ryan take the photo pictured above today. He played with it in photoshop and created the black & white & sepia ones. THANKS AGAIN RYAN!!!! I needed a freshy to stick in my Christmas cards this year. I posted a poll on Just 4 Keeps and asked for opinions at Two Peas so I am pretty sure of which one I am going to use but tell me YOUR favorite anyway! I love the feedback!
I had to drop my 4 Runner off at the mechanic today too. My starter has been giving me problems the last few weeks. We almost didn’t make it out of the parking lot of the movie theatre last night. YIKES!!! And with a road trip to Oklahoma after Christmas coming up……it really needs fixed!!! I am secretly welcoming the break from my truck the next few days. Then I don’t have to listen to Jack Johnson’s “Where’d All the Good People Go” song for the 647th time. Lol…..maybe that’s a stretch but seriously the girls LOVE that CD and we listen to it EVERY time we get in the car! I have my dad’s minivan thank goodness. Thanks Daddy!!
Okay….then I had some errands. Mailed my cousin Cameron’s package to Hong Kong today. No…….really……Hong Kong…CHINA! He is serving his mission there for the LDS CHURCH. The girls and I put a Christmas package together for him and I think what’s actually in the box cost me less than the shipping did. HA HA HA!!! Oh well…. he’s worth it! And that hour long wait with the girls at the Post office was craploads of fun. Off we went to run a few more errands.
THEN……….I got my hair cut and colored. My appointment was at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa. Yeah….I know….you’re thinking “What the heck?” ……it’s not a Supercuts??? LOL I actually had a $200.00 gift card from my boss Lauri Meyers with Coupon Sense. She gave it to me last April and I still hadn’t used it. I am going to use the remaining balance on it to get a message. I have never had one of those. I love my hair! I promise to post pictures soon. It looks nothing how I imagined it would but I LOVE it! I went waaaaaay easy on the blonde!
So….back home now & got the girls bathed and ready for church in the morning. Played on the puter and am off to do a bit of reading and then go nighty-night! I hope everyone got some more shopping done today!!! Only 2 more weeks ’til the fat man comes!!! YAY!!!!

Sounds like you had a great day..especially compared to me. I WORKED!!!! Did you know the elderly even need to eat on the weekend???? And I am with you….all 3 of my girls have hair to be done too…a rush every morning and every Sunday means a lot of ponytails in a crunch LOL!
I can’t wait to see the movie..I may even go see it alone if I have to! BTW…I love the pics.

I like the bottom one. Sepia right. Actually I didn’t notice a difference in the 1st and 3rd until I read further down. I am anxious to see your new hair. One thing I found curlers before bed for my little ones are awesome! Run a brush through on Sunday mornin’ and they are good to go. Well I have to barrette their bangs too but that is nothin’.

First off–laughing hysterically at Erica’s comment on the elderly!! HA HA
Second–let me know how the MESSAGE went and if it was in little letters or all caps?? Is it anything like a MASSAGE??? HA HA
I hear ya on the hair thing–try FOUR girls!!! And you just think that 11 will be better–it will fool you cuz you think you have more time and then you will be crazy trying to get it done again!!
I’ve seen your new ‘do and it looks nothing like a wild horse!!
