Lice!

Ok, not our most glorious moment, but I wanted to share this picture anyway. Four members of the family have lice (all girls). Three lucky members escaped the dreaded curse. This picture is of Saoirse, Emma, and Afton. On the second day of treatment I decided to put mayonnaise in our hair it rid ourselves of the lice eggs (nits). I really think it worked. At the end of day 2, so far so good. Everyone has clean hair. NOW GET BACK TO SCHOOL! Just joking. We are now (knock on wood) safe from these unwanted pests. It has been a long 2 days. We will also have to be diligent about checking our hair for the rest of the week.

Pumpkin Patch

Saoirse had her very first field trip on Monday, Oct. 19. Her kindergarten class went to a local nursery. They were able to roam around the pumpkin patch and choose any pumpkin they wanted. Note: they had to be able to carry it by themselves. Afton and I met the kindergarten classes at the nursery and I let Afton pick out a pumpkin herself. We also spent some time looking at the trees and flowers at the nursery. I remember the last time Saoirse was at this nursery. She was just over 1 yr old and at that time Emma was on her kindergarten field trip. I remember one mother freaking out at what Saoirse was doing. I turned around and there she was sitting on the ground putting rocks in her mouth. Good times!! What else is a toddler supposed to do?? I also got a really great picture of her looking at some leaves she found on the ground too. Enjoy the contrasting pictures; I know I do! She is a beautiful and fascinating girl. I love you Saoirse!
