It was Crazy Hair Night last night at Awanas. Caleb and Abigail wanted to use the temporary hair dye to make their hair look "crazy". All we had was Hannah Montana hair dye in pink, purple, and gold. Caleb refused to even consider the pink or purple so gold was the winner. His hair wound up looking more like highlights, it was actually kind of cute! Abigail had me put her hair in 8 different ponytails with different colors of ponytail holders. We also had to dye each pony tail a different color. It actually did look kind of crazy!Crazy Hair Night

Caleb's Baseball Tournament
Caleb decided that he wanted to try baseball this year so he is playing for the Boynton Yankees. This past weekend was their first tournament. We are new to the baseball world so I was pretty clueless about the equipment needed, the rules of the game, and the fierce competitiveness among the parents. It is just a little bit crazy!
Here is Caleb running to third base. Fortunately for him, the kid throwing the ball threw it wildly so he was able to continue on to home. His first run!
The coach let the kids try different positions to see which ones they did better at. Caleb did very good at catcher. When he was in the outfield he would get bored and stop paying attention to the game!
He also did very good at bat. He was about 50/50 with hitting the ball when pitched to him and needing the tee to make contact. We will definitely want to practice that!

Not a bad start to the season.
Caleb's First Overnight Guest
Caleb had his first overnight guest two weeks ago. Sebastian, a friend from church, spent the night Friday night and stayed to play Saturday. Caleb had a lot of fun playing with a boy for a change. He doesn't always like the fact that he has two sisters and no brothers. He and Sebastian decided that Sebastian and his brother Jude are going to come live at our house and the girls are going to go live with Sebastian's sisters. We got a good laugh out of that one! We had the most fun with the stories Sebastian kept telling us about his home life. Since his mom is a friend of mine I knew they weren't true but it was pretty funny stuff. I couldn't resist calling her and teasing her about the things he told us about them!
Since Friday night is movie night at our house, after Sebastian got there we immediately dug into the pizza and watched Speed Racer. After the movie everybody changed into pajamas and went to their rooms to wind down.
Daddy fixed us a hot breakfast of Mickey Mouse pancakes, bacon and hot chocolate. It was a huge hit! 
Caleb and Sebastian watching television/playing with the "Little People" in the den. I tried to keep the girls entertained in their room so the boys could have some "guy time".
Caleb and Sebastian playing dress-up while trying to get away from Lydia! I think they each tried on every outfit we own. Sebastian decided to stay in the Spiderman costume until time to go home.

Bedtime. The boys were allowed to play quietly in the room until 10. They must have worn themselves out playing because they went right to sleep after that.

Hair Cuts!
Today was the first truly relaxing Saturday we have had since we first learned we would be moving. Everything is done at the old house and with the exception of two boxes we are moved into the new apartment. Caleb has been asking us for months to let him get his hair cut into "spiky hair". Up until now, I have been the barber of the family. Every haircut has been done my me but I knew that I couldn't do what he wanted done. So, I pulled out my trusty coupon file and found a coupon for a free haircut and that was all she wrote! Daddy and Caleb went out for his first real barber cut. He loved how it turned out.
And after a year of letting her hair grow out, Abigail decided she wanted it short again. (She is sooo her mother's daughter!) We talked through the fact that once it was cut she would be stuck with it until it grew out. She was determined so I got my scissors out and got to work. She wanted it to be much shorter, like last time, but I remembered how much she hated the last cut so I wouldn't do it. I think we are all pleased with the result.
