Red Hair!

Tuesday, for our Earth Kid's meeting, we met at a fellow members home rather than one of the local springs. The girls had asked me at the last meeting if they could make up their own Nature Scavenger Hunt at their home. They have a lovely five acres of land, and I agreed to let them. The kids found everything very easily and then played ping pong, ball, and even some archery. It was a very good evening. Two of the trees had something on them called red lichens, or at least that is what everyone thought it was. I did not notice it until I downloaded the pictures, and it stood right out. I have not had time to research it yet, but I will. I will share what I find out. Us moms got to visit, which is always nice for us.

Technically we are on Spring Break this week and next. DJ did have to do a bit of Virtual School, but next week he is off completely. We have been doing a lot of Spring cleaning, and I am ready for Spring any day now. We had a mild winter, but I am not happy about twenties at night in March. I feel for all my Northern friends suffering through a March snow storm. It is so cruel this time of year.

I have tried to dye my hair red before, a strawberry blonde. It almost seemed to orange to me, and since I am blonde naturally as soon as I would go out in the sun it would go right back to blonde. Well, I decided to try an auburn color. Right now as I type this it is shocking to me. Hopefully in a few days I will love it. Everyone else seems to like it, but who knows if they are being honest, lol. I will share pics in a couple of days when it tones down a tad.

Me 6 Years Ago, Me Today

In exactly seven days I will be 41 years old, I mean young! I can not believe I have been on this planet 41 years. The first picture was when Caitlin was only 4 weeks old. That was six years ago. The other pictures is from yesterday. We celebrated my birthday yesterday, by going to the new Panda Chinese Restaurant that just opened, because next week I work the 11-7 shift, and lets just say a hibernating bear is friendlier than me when I work the night shift. I also dyed my hair red, so I will share those pictures in a couple of days after the shock wears off. I have natural red highlights, but this is a whole other animal. I have have died my hair light blonde forever. My husband has asked me to dye it red before, and the kids say it looks cool. I will let you be the judge. Sometimes people who do not actually live with you are much more honest. Looking at these pictures I think I look the same. I am obviously not as pale, or tired as I was after having Caitlin LOL!
