Fall Festival and New Haircuts

Filed Under: fall, family, fun

On Saturday we went to a Fall Festival that was being offered at a local park. Admission was free and it seemed like there were a lot of fun things to do with the kids so we were off! Well, the parking situation left something to be desired but once we finally got into the park, things went pretty well. The boys were able to touch and hold a snake:

They entered a contest to name a Ball Python that belongs to the park holding the festival:

There were games to play:

Arrows to shoot:

Snowcones to eat:

And then it was just time to run around like the total lunatics that they are. 🙂

Sunday, the boys got haircuts. Iain got his done at Great Clips and Sean cut Ryan’s hair because he was too scared to let the stylist do it. I miss their long hair but it was getting on their nerves so they asked to get it cut.

Oh, it will grow back. How many mom’s want their kids to have long hair? I just thought it was adorable!

    How wonderful!!
    When I see things like this, I think (sigh) we gotta get out more!

    and then I realize that Madd is just little, and we have time yet.

    Did you lighten their hair?

    LOL I didn’t lighten their hair chemically. Photoshop can do some amazing things. I got some new actions and a new filter and was playing around with it on the new haircut photos.

    Was it too much? I thought it looked really cool.

    Oh the hair! My son has always had long hair. There were a few times when he has cut it really short but he has always went back to long. It’s the longest it has ever been right now. I wish I could show you a picture, but alas he just won’t let me.

    Oh, I would love to see a picture but I understand his desire for privacy, too.

    I was a little sad that they wanted it cut but I had to respect their desire to cut it. As sad as it made me to do it! They just looked so free with that hair!

    Hey Laura!

    They get those eyes from their dad. And that blond hair too. For years I paid good money for hair that color and then my boys exit the womb with it naturally!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
