Paint, Hair and New Do

this weekend preston helped some good friends, jeff and amanda, lift a 300 pound beam onto their patio for a new cover. ely went with him and helped paint the beams. she definitely takes after her mom and got paint all over herself! they gave her an old t-shirt (that is now covered in paint), yet she still managed to get paint on her shoes, feet, arms and most distressing her hair. she painted one beam with her paint brush and her ponytail brushed the paint on the other one. we tried peanut butter, olive oil and plain old soap but nothing worked. she spent a few days like this and the paint clot turned into a dredlock! it was so matted and ratty! i finally decided that it was a lost cause and took her to get it cut out today. i thought her hair would be up to her ears, but thanks to the wonderful people at cool cuts for kids, she has a new refreshed, paint free look!
this was after she had worked on it for about 10 minutes. the hair on the comb was already cut and combed out of her head!

this place was awesome! they set her up in the princess booth and let her look at princess toys. they had her pegged!
watching her movie, barbie of course!

posing for mommy!

the finished product, complete with a goofy face!
