Let's Make a Deal

Here is what I am thinking, I will finish my last 3 hairdos in the coming week or so and you can keep reading my blog and leaving comments just like normal. Deal? Ha! This past weekend was so busy, I just didn't have time to get my hair in order. I know the last three styles I want to do, but I did not have the time or the necessary equipment to do them. Sunday I had to be to church early for ward choir and that didn't help things either. (Although, seeing as how I had not yet used my "normal hairstyle" as one of the 30 styles, techinically I was still conforming on Sunday.) Anyway, I will also be watching my brother's children for 3 days this week while he and Molly head to Tennessee to house hunt for their big move in a few months, so I am not sure that situation is conducive to hairstyling either, but we'll see if I can find some time in the next week. Then I think we should all take a vote. I can even do a really gratuitous and over-the-top slideshow so we can remember all the good times we had over the past 30 days together with my hair. Is that the sound of someone gagging? Yeah, I hear it too.

And here are a bunch of other pictures courtesy of the last 30 days, in zero order whatsoever. That's the rebel in me! And by "rebel" I mean "lazy blogger":


So this was Luke's birthday cake. The stormtroopers stayed okay in the frosting. We pretended they were on the ice planet Hoth. A few did fall over here and there, but that was awesome because then they had black frosting butts and my children died of laughter. But do you see the capital letters and lowercase mixed together?? Oh, Sam's cake lady, I even drew you a picture!

Hey, I asked him, he did NOT have to go....


Cindy having fun.


Is this not the coolest apron in the entire world? Only Aunt KaRyn could be so cool to find it for Luke. Williams Sonoma :)


I made the mistake of telling Luke of the Star Wars easter egg wrappers on Tuesday, so I had to answer his question of When are we going to do the Star Wars eggs? for 4 days. But he was soooo happy when they were finally done!!!

And did you know that a hair dryer puts those wraps on? I usually do boiling water, but I read the box and this way works too. Thanks Tara for volunteering the dryer!




The latest offering in my collection of Luke's Sleeping Positions.



Here he is at the playgroup egg hunt at Christina Park.


These ears have been around since right when we moved here and I think I have a picture of everyone wearing them. Even my dad! So this picture fits right in.



More Egg Hunt...

Pinata time! Once again, super cool Aunt KaRyn comes through :) And there was a TON of candy in that thing!




Double rotating light saber toy. He hasn't tired of this thing one bit since Saturday.


Me and my Lukee :)


What Sweeney would be complete without a sweet soccer tie?


Sean and his fiance Tara visited this weekend. It was awesome to meet her and have my kids all over her all weekend. She was very patient and kind to them :)


Easter Buddies :)


Cindy agreed to 5 seconds of taking pictures on Easter, so I basically had one shot to get something remotely good and I think this picture turned out pretty nice.


The cones of the pinata came off pretty cleanly and they made excellent party hats for the rest of the day.

Or a sweet Pokemon headdress....



On Sunday we had dinner with my Mom and Dad. Cindy and Luke got to color eggs with their cousins. I LOVE Ana's crazy eyes in this photo... And Luke's soccer jersey :)

I love all your pics (especially the one of you & Luke). Looks like you had a great time (& that cake lettering would've annoyed me big time. You are very patient & long-suffering)! And my word verification is "epodgeak" which my phone says I should correct to "epidural." Too funny! See, your blog is always entertaining & full of surprises! Can't wait for the slide show of Jessica's 30 days of hairstyles!!!! :)

I am disappointed in your hairstyles Jessica. I have not seen anything remotely close to Star Wars worthy. No Queen Amidala or Princess Leia so far....I sure hope you are ending with a bang. Make your son proud!!! ;-)
