An afternoon at the park.........

We actually caught a nice break in the weather Thursday of last week, so off to the park we went and I remembered to bring the camera:

Owen's Haircut

Last week I gave Owen a haircut and managed to turn my baby into a little boy in doing so....

The sucker was a BEFORE the haircut bribe to get him to sit still...it really didn't work!

The Boo boo under his eye is from when he ran into a coffee table four days prior to these pics! He was fine and we glued the cut closed. It has healed so well and is almost gone now as you can see in the pics below....
And here is our big boy with his new 'Do':

A fresh coat of paint....

I decided to warm up our paint colors a bit and add life to the walls in which we live... so here are some before and afters of the "new look":

Entry and Hallway area-
Before a toasted wheat color:

After a cocoa color (much warmer):
