I Love Lucy

I know that everyone thinks their kid is the smartest, cutest, funniest kid in the world ... but I know it for real.

Here's a recap of our weekend:

I took the kids for haircuts.  This was Lucy's first haircut, and she has been waiting for months to shorten her hair.  Poor kid, I kind of can't blame her because it is a beast to comb.  Hours of torture at the hands of mommy and a brush.  Eric desperately didn't want her to cut it and I (though feeling guilty about it) didn't either, as I had a feeling all her sweet curls would disappear.  I wanted to hang on to those as long as possible.

So, we get to the mall salon and Lucy hops right up into the chair and announces to everyone that this is her first haircut ever and do you want to know why she's getting her hair cut?  "Sometimes when I'm pooping" ... at this point every single person in the salon stopped what they were doing and looked at her ... "I tilt my head back and my hair gets stuck in my crack.  That's why I need a haircut."
She also pulled apart her lampshade, wrote her name on it and wore it on her head for a while.  I've got a picture in my mind of some party in the 1980s that's missing her here.
As well as spending a quiet afternoon watching Netflix on the ipad with her favorite unicorns, who also were required to wear headphones.
She seriously cracks me up.
