It's been since June since I've had a hair cut. I know gross right? Gag.

Tanya, is a bit better than I. She boxed dyed her hair in August. Or shall I say bleached it. That's a whole other story for another day.

So today we decided good day to get it done. The fab Kathrin came to Tanya's and did magical things for us.

Here's Tanyas Before:



Shut up Tanya. Do not bitch about this picture.

Because....Here is my before:



See...I can't even face how bad my hair was.

Bad bad.



We had a fun girly day...Chit chatted, gossiped, and I took pictures while Tanya was in the hot seat...


and she took some terrible ones of me. Which I'm not posting.

Oh..found an okay one.



and for those of you who were wondering what Nevaeh did.....



She swept up the hair....Kidding. I'm so totally not into child labour.

Much.

Drum Roll Please.....



Beautiful Tanya. Brown suits her I think. Buh Bye Bleached Blonde Hair. Hello Georgous!

Tanya took this amazing after shot of me:



She's amazing isn't she. She totally captured the essence of how beautiful my hair is. I'm so glad she's my business partner, she's amazing with a camera.

.....


Because Tanya is a crap photographer I had to take this one with my point n shoot while I'm blogging...



I didn't cut if off. I couldn't do it. So, got it layered like crazy and some funkier bangs.

Thanks Kat. We love our hair and had a blast:)

I'm being all maudlin today. I have exactly one week left until I return to work. And this time it's hitting me hard. I've returned to work 3 other times, with Madison after 6 months, because that's how long Mat leaves were back then. With Abby it was 10 months because of a new job, and with Mimi it was just 2 weeks before her birthday. And I was okay each time.

But this time, perhaps because I know she's my last baby, it's going to be very hard to leave Nevaeh. My return to work date is her actual birthday too which doesn't help matters. I'm sure I'll be a mess.

So this finally week home with my baby I have so many plans, and hopefully life doesn't get in the way and I can do everything I was planning on doing. Like playing lots with Nev, and going and having at my parents house and doing a little Beatles Rock Band. And organizing my house. And getting my Hair done. And getting ready for her party on Sunday.

Lots to do.

This week you will see A LOT of pictures of Nevaeh as I'm trying to document her last week before she turns one. And because this is my blog I can post as many pictures as I'd like. So there.

So here are some pics from today when Nick and I took Nevaeh for a walk in the leaves....down by the water.

.



...If instead of being oustside at Sunnidale park in the damp from 8:20 this morning, I sat inside and played with my Nana all day....

I'd be exhausted. All of that crawling, backyardagins watching, toys playing, story reading, song singing must tucker a girl out.


I'd want a nap.

And I'd certainly not want pictures taken of me while I was sleeping....



even if they were the cutest pictures ever taken. Ever.

This week at the kids dance school it's parents week. No, parents aren't dancing...wouldn't that be a treat watching me dance...ewww

But we do get to watch them dance.

And tonight was Abby's turn. She was excited to show us her moves. But it's more like gymnastic moves rather than dance, because she's in Acro.....So I don't think they've gotten to the whole dance part yet.

So we waited patiently for them to start...well, everyone was patient but Nevaeh


This is her trying to wiggle free of Daddy. And don't mind daddy's dirty pants, he just literally got off work.

So first they stretch...




and then it's time for me to turn all my pics black and white, because the colouring/lighting conditions SUCKED in the studio, and silly me forgot to bring my flash.

Cartwheel....






Headstands....


and I'm not quite sure what this is...


I'm so proud of Abby. Of all my girls, she's the most clumsy. She's off in her own little world most of the time, and is constantly tripping over her feet. What a surprise it was when she became the most athletic. She's AMAZING at soccer, literally bowls the other kids down. And last year in Ballet she knocked em dead. Her lines were perfect (well...as perfect as they can get for a 6 year old). She's just got so much energy it's hard to pin her down. She can't sit still for longer than ....well, I'm not sure if she's ever sat in one spot ever.

*as an aside. I'd just like to say I started writing this blog at 10pm this evening, then had to keep stoping for various reasons. And then at about 11:20 Nick comes to me and says "go to walmart and pick up a vacuum belt" So off I go(I'm not going to complain if he's cleaning...this is an odd occurance that happens about once every 8 months), and of course, Murphy's law, they are sold out of the particular belt I need. So I bought a new vacuum. I like it. It's pretty and cute. So as I type this now at 12:17am, it's to the faint humming sound of my new pretty cute (and apparently useless) vacuum.

Good night.
