Pics. as promised

Yes, I know it's not 1992.

So, Friday night I got a perm. Which is the reason for the title of my blog. I'm just so sick of my hair and how it looks the same no matter what I do. I want something different so I just got a body wave. When she first took the rollers out, I was a little scared because it was so curly. But then, within an hour and a half there were parts that were already going straight. So, it's not what you think when you think perm. It is just a little wavy. I should have known it wouldn't hold. My mom tried once when I was probably in about the 4th grade and that didn't hold at all. That was barely curly when we took it out of the rollers. I figured that was because it was my mom and it was a home perm. But, it still didn't work. My hair is just too heavy. It did give me what I was looking for which is something not too drastic but just a little more body. 

Besides that, all is good here. Eric is adjusting to his new boss. He likes that the new director will just make decisions and not have to hold meetings and take forever to make a decision. I took the kids with my sister and mother in law to a pumpkin farm this weekend. They loved it. Gabe picked out a cute little pumpkin to take home. He likes the little ones so he can carry them around. He tried to pick up the ones that were half his size. He was so cute. Once I download the photos I'll show some. I am really enjoying my Bible study and getting a lot out of it. I don't want it to end. The kids like going to the nursery and a couple of times, I have taken them to McDonalds afterward for lunch. It's a little crazy handling the two of them by myself but Gabe loves playing there and I like not worrying about cooking lunch. Love ya all and I'll post some pics. soon.

A new use for a breastpump

I don't know if any body else knows what I am talking about but when I was in the hospital after having Gabe, the lactation consultant made her rounds. I had been given a good hospital grade pump and the consultant gave me all the parts I needed for it. In the kit, there is a hand pump also. I never used it though because I had the other one. I did keep all the parts together though in the bag with the pump. Well, one day Gabe comes up stairs with the hand pump. Apparently, it is a really cool toy for a two year old. He kept telling us it was used to make popcorn, which we never did get. Anyway, one time or another he heard us say that it was a pump. Then one day last week, Eric went to the shop to pump up the tire on our small green car which I drive to work. He took Gabe with him, which was super exciting for him. He talked all about how they pumped up my tire. I guess while I was at work he took the breastpump to all his toy cars and pumped up the tires. Yesterday was the funniest though because Eric was washing my car and when he pulled it up I told him the tire was looking low. Gabe ran inside, grabbed the breastpump and ran outside to the tire to "pump it up". So cute! 

With all the heaviness lately in the news, I hope this will make some smile.
