New haircuts for the circus

Okay, so the haircuts weren't really for the circus. It was time for a real haircut for all the kids and myself. Mom had an appointment on Friday so she call to see if we could get squeezed in. At the moment she said we had a block of appointments from 3:15 until 4:15 i realized haircuts would be something i would continue to do at home. Regardless of how jacked up they look. An hours worth of appointments just to get our haircut....still amazes me. Anyway, the kids loved it. This was John's first official haircut. He did really well. The clippers tickled him. It was too cute. Now that we all have fresh haircuts where can we show them off? No better place than the circus. Saturday morning we were off. Everyone was super excited. Wes, Cile and Emma Kate met us there. We had to sit in the upper deck but once we got up there the kids settled in for the show. Ella says her favorite part was the magic tricks and Jack's favorite part was the elephants. I feel pretty lucky that we got out of there with no souvenirs. The kids had a bag of cotton candy and two lollipops courtesy of Uncle Wes. The prices were outrageous so i was glad the kids never asked for anything. We picked up Uncle Wes's clothes and he came home with us for the night. He also brought his Wii Rock Band set up. The kids put on their own show that night. All in all it was a wonderful day. Sunday morning we were off to church. The kids had a wonderful time in children's church. After naps we headed to the park for some well deserved play time. Ella and Jack loved the swings. I was slightly concerned that Grandpa was pushing them so high on their first solo swing with no straps. No one fell out. :) John is a climber so anything he could climb on was good with him.  The kids have settled in nicely. They are really enjoying the bunk beds. The last two nights Ella and Jack have slept up top and John sleeps on the bottom. We have all our clothes put away so it really feels settled for the kids. We are still unclear about the move. Eric is leaving our stuff in Raleigh for another few weeks and will go back after his vacation and get it moved. Hopefully he will find out something soon.  Here are some pics from the weekend.
