Hair halo

Sam's been begging to grow his hair longer so we've been going with it for a while--after all, it is summer. But the boy has multiple cowlicks (darn you, cow who licked him!) that aren't cooperating so well. No, this isn't static electricity, it's his bed-head every single morning.

And the planets hovering? When we first moved in, Greg suspended our planet mobile from the light fixture in the stair landing until we could find a better place and it's stayed there ever since. It's rather growing on me now, kind of like the sticky plastic salamanders that ended up staying on the ceiling of our dining room for years in the other house.

Sam's been enjoying putting little lego guys on the mobile now and then. Poor guy...he looks so angry to be stuck out there on Saturn's rings. What's a pirate lego guy to do?

Love the bedhead spikes. And what is it with boys wanting to grow their hair out long? McKay has been BEGGING for that, too. All these kids in CA had this long, shaggy hair. I have a hard time letting go of the control on that one.

Also love the lego pirate stuck on Saturn. Classic.

I really did think that was static with the hair! That is so funny. Best bed head yet. We got a small kids table and chairs as a gift before Thanksgiving last year so we had room for all our guests at the bigger table. The kid table has not moved since. I really thought it would be temporary too.
