We now have afternoon church, 1pm - 4pm. I personally dislike this schedule. There are only 2 positives I see to having afternoon church. #1 - you don't have to set your alarm to make sure you get up on time and #2 - it gives me time to do fun things with the girls hair we might not do on a typical day. The pros however will never be good enough to make me forget that I am missing my Sunday afternoon nap for the next year!
So yesterday I decided to take advantage of time and do somethings with the girls' hair. Ever since cutting Natalie's hair I haven't done much b/c she protests so loudly, but today I was determined to try pig tails again. I thought they were adorable!
With Isabella I put about 20 braids in it when she got out of the tub and then hoped it would fully dry before church. It didn't - and I even tried blow drying the braids. The front of her hair was pretty well dried but the back wasn't. But it still turned out to be a cute style. After we dressed her in her hip little tunic dress, stockings and knee high boots I made the mistake of telling her she was "hot." Obviously she doesn't really understand what it means b/c at first she said, "I'm not hot, I'm cold!" But when I explained to her that I didn't mean her temperature she thought it was funny and would run around the house and strike some kind of pose and say, "I'm hot!" When will I ever learn that this girl repeats everything I say to her?

They BOTH look darling! But, you're right, no amount of cuteness makes up for 1pm church. We're on the same schedule, and now that I've done it for a month, I'm considering going inactive for the next year. Just kidding, but it is pretty awful! Not only are all the kiddos cranky from missing their nap, but I think all the adults are too. Glad I'm not a nursery/primary worker!
Cute!! I know what you mean about having time for hair. Our meeting time just switched from 2:30pm (cute hair) to 8:30am (rushed hair). Janelle's lucky if she gets anything other than pigtails these days!
Remember when we had church at 4:00 in Allen when they were building the new stake center? We'd go home at 7:00 at night in the dark!
I do remember it Elly - it was torture! I don't know how we survived it. For me it seems like Sunday never really starts until Church starts so we did alot of waiting around for 4pm.
I know what you mean, we have 2 to 5. At least you only said Hot. i dropped something once when Eden was little and made the mistake of saying crap. She wasn't even 2 yet and instead of Uh-oh, you can guess what she said everytime anythig fell. It took me forever to get her to forget about that word.
Bella is 4 going on 16! She looks sassy! :-)
