Katie's team t-ball pictures were this morning. This is the first time she was actually willing to have her picture taken by a professional, but, unfortunately, her allergies were acting up (still) and she kept rubbing at her red, puffy eyes. Still, I was glad she was willing to try.
Travis played "fencing" with a buddy while Katie got her picture taken.
Right after I took this (and right before the photographer got started), Katie's eyes really started bothering her.
After the pictures, we went to our wonderful General Store (really a sort of health food/organic food/baking supplies store), which was having an "open house." Travis has been looking forward to this for weeks, because of the Free Hot Dogs and the radio station that was going to be there. Ed and I were more interested in seeing the children of friends of ours play blue grass music. We all were pleased (Travis ate four hot dogs. Ed and I were pleased that he wasn't sick in the car going home.).
The kids Have to bounce on this bench every time we go to the store.
While I was planting, Katie locked herself in the bathroom and gave herself a haircut. I learned about what she had done when Travis ran over to me, saying, "Katie had a gender change!" (Imagine my apprehension.) Katie came right after him, pleased as all-get-out with herself. I had to restrain my response as she proudly explained, "I wanted a boy haircut!"
She cut the front short but a patch in the back was only an inch long. Katie didn't see any need for me to touch up her work, but she graciously allowed me to neaten things up as best I could. I blame the movie we watched last night, Cheaper by the Dozen, in which one of the children in the story took scissors to her hair (did you ever notice that, in movies, when a female character starts hacking at her own hair, she has a shorter but professional looking, cute haircut in the next scene?).
She wants to be Just Like her goofy big brother.

LOL! Oh, you are so much better than I would be about something like this. It looks cute though.I paid alot of $$$ to get that same cut this past summer. But Travis is hysterical, "gender change" BWAHAHA!
I was pretty shocked, and I believe I said, "Oh Katie! Your hair was so Pretty!" more than once. But it will grow, and I think we all learned a lesson. Katie learned that it is hard to cut your own hair exactly the way you want it, and Ed and I learned that when Katie says, "I want a boy cut," we would do better to take her in for a cut than to say, "But sweetie, you are a girl!"
"Katie had a gender change!" I love that! Do you write down the funny things he says so you can embarrass him when he's older? :)
Katie's hair looks cute anyway. I think everybody has to experience their child cutting their own hair at least once. It makes for great stories!
