Long hair (again)

Five years ago was the first time I decided to grow out my hair, but that was only the top half. This time around I decided to grow out my whole head of hair, to see how it goes. The goal was to grow it out long enough to tie up, which seemed easier than styling it each morning. 

But long hair is annoying. It took longer than usual to wash my hair and to maintain. Letting my hair down got too hot and felt annoying around the back of my neck. Wearing a cap was an issue unless I wanted to do a ponytail through the hole. No thanks. And I was shedding like a dog so there was a lot more hair in the shower, floors, basically everywhere. 

So in the end, the long hair had to go. It's been a year and a half since my last haircut.

Jacob's haircut

As you can see from this picture, Jacob was in desperate need of a haircut. But I never push him to get one. It's only when he asks for one will I finally cut his hair... which only happens 2 or 3 times a year. 

Being that it's so hot now and his hair getting in the way, he finally wanted me to cut his hair cut.

And so I did... but not before I played around a little bit.

With Jacob having such a full set of hair, I wanted to experiment with different hair styles. I can't believe he didn't like my first two styles. 😂

Long hair don't care

Sometime around last summer, I decided to stop cutting the top part of my hair. Since I was mostly working from home, I had no need to look "professional" and decided to experiment.

How long could I grow out my hair?

Will it be annoying?

Maybe I'll like it?

Perhaps this will be my new look?

Pumpkin patch: past & present

Halloween is quickly approaching and so we made our annual visit to the pumpkin patch at St. Andrew's. The church has built such a reputation for their pumpkin patch that they call themselves the pumpkin church. Seriously, pumpkinchurch.com is where you can find them. We've done this every year since Jacob. It's our little family tradition. And being that this is a relatively new blog, I also posted pictures from years past, which definitely makes me say, "Oh snap!"
