the way I see it: April 2006

Sunset

The sun setting looked so pretty during a walk last night...

did that guys hair burn???

so this morning while my husband and almost 5 year old son were watching the sports highlights, the tv mentioned how this guy was fired. the guy happened to have grey hair. my little boy wonders though, did that guy's hair burn? get it? fired? grey hair? burnt in a fire?

ha! they don't miss a beat, do they.

Dora Time!

We use Dora time in our house. As in, we'll be there in 2 dora shows. Pizza takes roughly 1 dora time to cook. And bedtime is approximately 18 dora times away. (yay!)

Shut up, how else do you explain time to a 3 and 5 year old? They know the big hand on the clock goes around one time for 1 hour, but that means nothing to them! As if they are going to sit there watching the clock waiting for that! But dora time means mommy gets to get some other stuff done instead of answering a million times that it's not time yet!

Whatever works, ya know?

mmmm pizza....

the do-it-yourself-home-hair-dying-fun post.

so, yeah. we are currently 15:36 into the 25:00 minutes this is gonna take. I've heard all the horror stories of home hair dying and it turning out purple or orange or whatever, but I don't have that problem. Apparently I've got stubborn mousy dark brown hair because no matter the colour, the brand, the time I always end up with the same boring colour. I suppose I should consider myself lucky because really, who wants purple or orange hair??? I just want something a little different! Lighter maybe! You think?

Who thinks I've just jinxed myself here? eeeeekkk!

UPDATE

ok, that was close. Like, so close I'm feeling a little bit shakey now just thinking of what could have happened! orangeness! I DID curse myself! If Denice hadn't said, wait - woah, what are you using?! I would have left it on 45 minutes instead of the recommended 25. As it was I left it on for 35 minutes. Scary Scary stuff, I'm telling you.

This is how it turned out....
