New Do and New Experiences

I have been long over due for getting my hair done.  My sister in law who is my hair stylist had a baby the beginning of December and was on maternity leave until recently and I finally had a chance to go today.  Went a little lighter and got some bangs.

 Tonight Andy wanted to take the kids bowling for the first time.  So, we loaded them up and went!  It was a little hectic, but a great time over all.  We got bumper pads and the ramp.  Ethan and Gracyn had no problem getting their ball, carrying it to the ramp, and bowling all by themselves.  However, Ethan was most intrigued by the ball return.  Instead of watching to see how many pins he knocked down, he would run back to see if his ball had returned yet.  Gracyn was a little more interested in how many pins she knocked down and just the whole process overall.  She got a spare and yelled "Yay! I got a strike!" It was pretty cute.  Avery was most interested in the balls.  She kept saying "ball" over and over and wanted to play with the bowling balls.  Andy helped her bowl and she was super excited, but then she really wanted the balls!

 

 

Since we had not fed the kids dinner yet, they were getting pretty hungry.  We let them snack on some nachos to hold them over until dinner.  Ethan said "I do not like this cheese stuff"  Lol!  He is already a little foodie like his daddy.  The girls had no issues with the "cheese stuff".  In fact, Avery preferred just licking it off the chips.  And Ethan, despite his "spicey pear" experience (he ate a super hot jalepeno from our garden thinking it was a pear), actually ate a jalepeno.  These were much milder and it really did not bother him much.

 

 

After bowling we let the kids play a couple of games of wack-a-mole.  Andy had told them all about this game and so when we saw it we had to let them play.  They both did really well and got several tickets which they cashed in for tootsie rolls and army men.

Overall it was a fantastic day!  I really love spending time with Andy and the kids!
