It's Amazing How Much Your Head Sweats

This weekend D came over for a visit.  I love having her come to our house.  She settles into the routine without problems and it's like she just belongs.  It's like that with E too, but since she wasn't with us this weekend, that didn't happen.

Saturday morning D had a soccer game.  Fortunately for N it was at 11, so that meant we got to sleep in.  D asked me to do her hair.  That usually means small braids that pull back sections of her hair. 

Later that afternoon, we surprised her with a hair cut.  As we were taking out the braids, her hair was all wet and sweaty.  A sure sign of running a good soccer game. 

Nothing compared to the smile once she knew why we took her braids out.  She is all girl.  Loves the salon and loves a manicure (which we did this weekend too.  Both Zoe and D got their nails painted this weekend during some "girl time.")

I never thought I'd be the mom who loved having girly-girls.  But I do.  It's one of my favorite things, getting my girls all ready for church with their hair, their nails, their skirts and their earrings.  Maybe it's because I just love being involved in the process.  It's my job and there's nothing else I'd rather do!
