As fast as Spring Break began, it was over. We had a great week that included a trip to the library, playdates, skating with friends, going to the park, and visiting with family. We also managed to use the rainy Tuesday for a little housework. No, the kids weren't thrilled about that, but they helped anyway and we got it done.
One of the huge events from the week was that Laiken donated 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love. This is the second time that she has donated her hair and even though I knew that she was growing it out for that purpose, it was still hard for me to take her to have it cut. I love curling and braiding her hair and I knew that I would miss it. We had DeAnn Purdy do the honors. DeAnn has known our family since Laiken was 5 years old and it was so nice that she was able to help with the transformation. She did a fabulous job and even though I almost cried, which in turn, almost made Laiken cry, everything turned out great and the new 'do is too cute! When I later told Susie how crazy I had acted about the whole thing, she reassured me that Laiken could work it out in therapy later on! She's right...just add it to the list!

Oh, Laiken, your new hair is beautiful! You look so grown up and ready for Spring! Way to go on donating your locks!
I told Laiken that I liked her haircut on Sunday. I didn't even know she had done it for that. Now I like it even more. That's a neat thing for someone (especially her age) to do!
I love your hair too! Sydney has done it a couple of times and it means a lot to her. Kelly, it's so weird looking at your parents place and the land! It's been so long and nothing has changed, that's nice!
