Potato Head Pumpkins and the Sneaky Squirrel

Here are the girls' pumpkins from halloween. Chad did carve one with them, but this was WAY easier! The last picture is from the halloween party at school...don't they look like they love each other! Emma was very proud to show off her little sister!

We apparently have a squirrel trying to move in. He found the hole in the screen that one of his squirrel friends made a while back. Chad rigged it with some clear tape (it looked real nice, BTW) and the tape fell off. The squirrel found the hole and jumped right in. More than once. I guess we'll have a visitor until the screen is fixed.

The Call

So I got a phone call today from preschool. When the number came up on the callerID, my heart dropped. You never know what you'll hear. You never know what the news will be.

Me: Hello? holding breath
Mrs. Mary: Mrs. Jackson?
Me: yes

insert deep breath here, fearing the girls are ill or hurt themselves on the playground

Mrs. Mary: I'm calling to tell you that Madelyn....

Oh God, what happened I thought...

Mrs. Mary: Well, she decided to wash her hair in the bathroom sink today. laughing
Me: Oh, really! What did she say?
Mrs. Mary: Well, first it took all I had to keep a straight face, but then I asked her what happened and she said, "It just was like that." Hahahaha I asked her again and she said, "Well, my mommy does it."

Apparently after using the potty, she decided to pump a LARGE amount of soap into her hand, rub her hands together, and spread it all over her hair.......

...and today was PICTURE DAY!!!!!!!

Me: Well, at least you know that I wash her hair!

And before I could ask...

Mrs. Mary: At least it was AFTER her pictures this morning! hahaha I tried to wash it out, but the more water I added, the worse it got, so we are letting it dry. I won't be in the pick-up line today, so I wanted to tell you in case you didn't get the message from the other teachers. At least you'll know what's up with her hair!

You just NEVER know what 3-year-olds are capable of...

I would've taken a picture, but by the time I picked her up, her hair just looked messy. There really wasn't much to see!
