Wyatt's haircut

To waste some time, I took the boys out for haircuts. I asked which hair cut place they liked best, and they all agreed on the one with the biggest lollipops. So, we headed to Great Clips and each boy did great. At the end, the ladies asked if they'd like some gel in their hair, and they all said they did.

Two hours later, it was time for karate, and Wyatt decided that gelled hair was NOT appropriate for karate. He went to the bathroom to wash it out, but it was fairly strong gel, so he went for the scissors. Yes, Wyatt now has a nice bald patch right on the top of his head. Great.

New Alphabet Soup


I came up with a new alphabet soup recipe and it was really good! The boys ate everything in their bowls and then Jake and Wyatt had seconds! Believe it or not, even Grayson finished his dinner for a change. The ingredients are listed below and to recreate it, I'll have to play around with it I guess.

1 can vegetable broth
1 can garbanzo beans
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small onion (ok NOT the whole onion)
2 small zucchini squash
2 small yellow squash
4 stalks celery
swiss chard
2 small tomatoes
some leftover peas and corn
tsp. salt
tsp. pepper
pinch of basil
1 bag alphabet letters
