Mamma Mia!

Harry and Charlie spent the afternoon at their good friend Briggs's birthday party. The theme was Mario Brothers, so of course, these brothers went as the Mario Brothers. It was not a costume party, but that didn't seem to deter them. I thought this picture was funny....Harry was trying to convince Charlie to make the same face he's making. Apparently, it's the Mario face. Charlie was having nothing of it. On a milestone-note, John got his first haircut this week. Just a trim...don't worry...the curls are still intact. He was beginning to look a bit like a child who wasn't being taken care of, so we decided it was time. He sat very nicely for the cut...a bit perplexed by the whole process.

And lastly, although I don't have any pictures of this, Maggie got her ears pierced this week! (Can you believe I forgot my camera when my one and only daughter got her ears pierced!?!) Her friend Ashlynn got hers done last weekend, and apparently, the beautiful pink "diamonds" in Ashlynn's ears was enough to make Maggie relent and face the pain. I honestly thought she'd never get her ears pierced. She says having her teeth cleaned at the dentist is painful, so I was sure the thought of sitting voluntarily in a chair and having someone poke holes in her ears would never fly with her. But she did great! There were a few tears afterwards, but she recovered quickly and is loving her new accessories! I'll try to post some pictures of them soon.
