I Meant to Mention...

that I was leaving for Birmingham for the week. So, hey, guess what? I went to Birmingham for the week. It was really a last minute thing but I decided to spend the last week of Chloe's spring break with my parents (she gets 3). I really needed to get out of town but I didn't want to drive to B'ham all by myself, plus I'd be leaving Travis and Amanda with one vehicle so it wouldn't have worked. So Travis and I met mom and dad about half way between here and there and they took the two little girls and I to their house. It was nice and relaxing. We went lots of places and watched *a lot* of Food Network. Chloe was ecstatic to watch Unwrapped. She shushed us when we talked through Iron Chef America. I'll give you a little peek of what we did now because it takes way too long for my computer to upload photos- darn DSL.

See these sweet tulips Travis got me when I was sick? It was so sweet. He had to work all day, go to the store to buy essentials on his way home and still bought flowers for me.This has nothing to do with spring break but this is the view from my bedroom window this time of year. And this year I can actually see it.Our second day into the trip we took the kids to the mall to ride the carousel.What I really want you to notice though is how long their hair is...Because on day 4 we cut it off. Sigh. Chloe has been begging for a while to have her hair cut off for locks of love. She hates her long hair and cries every single time I brush it. Just before we left for B'ham Travis told me to get it cut before he got there because he figured that he couldn't handle watching it. So here are the Button girls with newly short hair. They both love it and Halle no longer has to throw her hair over her shoulder when she goes potty. Yep, it was *that*long. Chloe's hair seems to not have as much curl and Halle's hair seems a lot thicker and less blonde. But my not cutting their hair won't keep them from growing up, will it?So there's more updating to do and I'll get to it shortly.
