I thought I'd better post something. So here I sit with the blinking cursor in front of me, trying to think. I'm sure a lot of people that blog feel this way: you think of all sorts of great posts during the day, but when it comes down to it, all interesting thoughts escape you.

Ayda is definitely potty trained. And I am loving it. She has the odd accident, but usually only if she can't get her pants down fast enough! Hey - does anyone have any haircut ideas for a little girl with curly hair that is quite thin and mattes SO easily?! I always just assumed she'd have long hair like me, but I think it would be better if it was shorter, at least for now. I think if I had it cut into a longer bob-style, then her curls might stay better and it would be easier to manage. When her hair is wet, it's like she has two heads of hair: the outer layer is nice and curly and then as it dries is gets frizzy and straighter. But then the inner layer is full of tight curls. And since I have nothing resembling curly hair, I really don't know what to do. So any other ideas besides mine?!

And every once in awhile I think I might let Jared's hair grow out a bit, but then I touch his poor head after he's been running around/playing/etc. and it's so sweaty and I just think, forget it - and off goes the hair. But I keep doing the mohawk because he needs some sort of "levels" to his hair. But it is so thick and has a slight wave to it, and he complains when it starts to get long. A few months ago, he asked me if he could have a clip for his hair because it was making him hot. Poor kid.

Wow. That was riveting for all of you, I'm sure.

I'm going to California for a children's ministry conference next week. I'm excited about the conference, but hate to be leaving the kids again. And for that long again. They'll be fine and so will I (less fine than they will be, but fine nonetheless), still sucks.

I guess that's it for now. I'll try to have a more exciting post next time!
