Margaret's Locks of Love haircut

Wow! Today, Mom cut my hair for Locks of Love.
It was soo scary!! Who knew letting go of some hair would be so.... life changing? Here I am before the cut :(
This is after we hacked it off... You can see it is a little uneven on the right side (hee hee)
This is after we evened it out! Isn't it cute?

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that makes wigs for kids that have lost hair from Cancer and so on. I have been meaning to do this for a while, but you have to have at least ten inches and I wanted some hair to grow. :)

Crazy morning

I made a video of our usual morning chaos. It was amplified a bit this week due to the festive atmosphere that not going back-to-school creates around our house this time of year. This was not staged, by the way, the kids were playing with the dogs and I got the camera out to capture it!

Exciting things are happening at the Jacobses...

We just haven't taken the time to blog about them!
For starters, the playroom is up and running (I don't have any pictures, you'll just have to take my word for it.)
Margaret, who has been wanting an electric guitar for some time, saved up enough babysitting money to buy one at last and now has a new guitar and amp (once again, no pictures, I'm trying to persuade her to let me make a video of her playing it.)
Sophia got a great new haircut and is mostly happy with it. I'm very happy with it because she looks super cute and her very curly hair is much easier to detangle when it's not so long.




I don't have any news about Ellie, but she's doing well and behaving like a crazy 3 year old.





Anna is now sitting on her own and putting lots of random stuff in her mouth.




Here's a happy picture of the four girls:
