Haircuts and Science

Thursday July 23, 2009

First thing on the agenda was to get our passport pictures taken at Walgreens. And to pick up some great deals. I got 5 sheets of posterboard for .09cents a piece and an 8 pack of large manilla evenlopes for .59 cents.


Jessica getting her passport pic.


Nathan getting his. At first he was not going to do it. He did not want to stand in front of that white background. He came around and we got a big smile.

Then on to haircuts.


Nathan got a number 2 this time.


And I bobbed Jessica's. She cut off a lot but it looks soooo cute and so much healthier.


My sweet kids. She got done cutting Jessica's hair and said I am so sorry, she looks two years older now! Her kindergarten hair cut.

This evening we headed down to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Every Thursday night this summer, they have a family night and bring in child friendly performers. Tonight they had "Janet" from Janet's Planet. She is on channel 8 but I have just never seen her. She did a great job and her little niche is space and science. So she sang songs and asked questions about the stars and planets and constellations. Gave and an activity to do and did a couple of science experiements. The kids enjoyed it.

Jessica found a climbing tree! If there is one to be found, she will find it.


Too cool Nathan in his sunglasses.




Throwing rocks in the pond.


Found some bugs to look at!


Working their way through the bamboo.


Playing in the water.


Eating our dinner and waiting for the show to start.


"Janet". Here she is singing.


This is Jessica's hair cut from the back. Tooo cute. She is watching the show here.


She brought all the kids up to dance. Jessica is right up front of course.


Here she is doing the mentos in diet soda experiement.


Jessica went up to give her best impression of an alien!

She handed out moon pies to the kids and we got a free cd of her music which we listened to on the way home and she gave the kids each a hula hoop on our way out. Fun night. It is a great thing that Cheekwood is putting on. There were a lot of families there enjoying it.
