Addie's First Haircut

Addie is now 3 years and 4 months old and finally got her first haircut.  That's right, the first.  No trims, nothing until now.  Her hair has been out of control, gets tangled easily and just looked like a mess.  After speaking with my hair stylist (who has a daughter) and asked her opinion.  She suggested getting a trim which would probably help out with the thin, fine hair she has that constantly is tangled.

I really didn't want to spend a lot since she was literally getting a small snippet off.  But I decided it was the first so we went to Cookie Cutters.  She asked that Graham come because she was scared but it was nap time for Graham so I promised ice cream if she did well.

Sheepy was able to come though and he got his hair combed.

She loved the place.  They have a play area, games, toy machines, etc to keep the kids occupied.

She sat patiently, though she kept trying to see what was going on behind her.  She ate a sucker and watched a movie while the stylist quickly cut her hair and gave her a cute braid.

Then we had ice cream.

Adalyn's First Halloween

Yesterday was Beggar's night in our neighborhood.  Combined with Halloween night AND Addie's first Halloween and we have a trifecta!    

 I found her adorable chick costume at The Children's Place online when they were running a 60% off sale and combined it with another coupon.  I originally told myself I wouldn't buy her a costume.  I mean why bother, it's not like she knows what's going on or will actually be trick-or-treating.  However, when I found this deal and paid a total of $10 (leggings were found at Old Navy and I made her chick feet out of felt) on her costume I figured how could I pass it up.  Plus it's more for the photo ops than anything else.  

 The hubs and I, along with Addie and Chloe the Blowfish, hung out in our garage since it was sprinkling.

Surprisingly, Addie did really well considering she doesn't like being held for longer than 5 minutes anymore (the pros and cons of a crawler/cruiser).

I'm already planning what she'll be next year for Halloween!
