skatter thoughts.....

We accidentally spent the morning at the park with Deana and Landon. That was fun. We are going to do it again, only next time it will be on purpose.

Alizabeth made prettier pancakes her first time than I have ever made. Pancakes hate me. Bacon too. Can't cook either one. I guess that is ok since neither is very good for you. But still it is a blow to my pride that my 11 year old can make better pancakes than me and I am a good cook.

Sonja (age three)cut her own hair. That has never happened. Out of 6 kids, I have never had one cut her own hair. I used to take pride in that. There goes another blow to my pride. Oh well, pride is not my friend anyway. I wish I could take a picture of her hair but the whole broken camera thing has permeated every area of my life.

She said she "wanted to make it pwitty". She did a really good job. I am reluctant to even tell people she cut it because she did such a good job, someone is bound to tell her it looks good and I don't want her thinking it was a good idea to cut her own hair. She cut the sides, not the bangs. They just blend right in. None of it has the chopped look or even so much as the fresh cut bluntness. I am telling you she did a really good job. It was still wrong but if you're going to be wrong, you might as well do it right.
