Medicine

Tonight as we rocked and tucked the girls in Madison said she needed medicine to make her legs stop hurting. We told her sleep would probably make them feel better.
After Madison said her prayers, rocked with Mommy (a special time we hope is not soon outgrown) and snuggled into bed, Daddy began rocking Kennedy and Mommy started to leave the room.
Madison called out softly, 'Snuggle, Mommy?'
I turned right around and curled up next to Madison.
She nestled into me and said, 'Mommy, my legs feel better. You are the medicine I needed to make my legs stop hurting'
I melted- right there into her bed.
Moments like that make all the daily madness of two strong willed little girls disappear.

Summer Cuts and Shopping Lists

 Kennedy's hair was getting a little scraggly. Yes, she was finally getting some length, but the top is still so short we were back to little girl mullet.
Yesterday, Mommy took her to get a new summer cut after school.
 Miss Wendy gave Kennedy a cute little bob and trimmed up her bangs.
 Now we just need to grow the rest of the top out a little so it's not always in her eyes. Hopefully she will leave clips and headbands in her hair in the meantime.
After our haircuts we met Daddy down at Costco. Mommy had a list, so the girls wanted them, too.
 Oh, did I mention I gave Madison a summer trim, too? Her slightly wavy hair is much more forgiving than Kennedy's board straight locks.
Mommy's two little Mini-mes.
Summer bobs and grocery lists.
Love it.
