I'm no photographer...

...But even my crappy camera can't lie.

These girls are C-U-T-E. Cute!

Remember this hair-cutting catastrophe?

Yes, this is my poor Rachel after Hannah took some scissors to her hair. It was a real low-point in my life (and Hannah's!), I have to say. Well, it has been 16 long months, and it has finally grown out! I was even able to curl (or as Rachel says, "crill") it today, so hence the photo shoot. Hair really does grow back, people.

After I got done "crilling" Rachel's hair, she ran to the mirror and pronounced:
"I"m SOOO BEAUTIFUL!"
(Humble? Not so much.)

One of the super fun things about having a 5th AND a sixth grader is that we get to do 2 Science Fair projects. Yippee! And because we are such awesome, on-the-ball parents, we would never dream of starting on them the day before they are due. Oh no. We started on them 2 days before they were due! Because we're awesome parents and all.

This is Adam's project about what melts ice the fastest (do you like my clever title? "Ice, Ice, Maybe" instead of "Baby". Get it?)

And here we have Tyler's project about what liquids react with a penny the most. Don't you love the copper color paint? (Yep, my idea, too.)

Don't let that smile fool ya...it was a rough day at the Seeley house...2 days before the Science Fair...but we survived. Maybe.

Note to self: Start earlier next year.

My Girls

My darling Mia Maids came over on Wednesday for our activity. We made homemade soft pretzels and Orange Juliuses. Mmmm...

Our newest Mia Maid, Savannah!!

Oh, and look at the cute recipe files we made!

We had a great turn-out and we had so much fun together! I love these girls to pieces!
