Their creations just happened to be displayed at the School District Arts Festival this year.
Hurray for the Arts!
{The photo is unrelated, but just because.}
I did NOT shave my daughter's head--though, it must be said, that after the first 12 hours (I say, "first" because there were two sets of 12 hour increments) of picking eggs out of her head, it was considered-- but I did cut off about 5 inches. There were tears, but it will grow back.
Now for The Good News:
* Preston and Daddy avoided the little buggers (so far)
* Trev and Gav were free and clear after a shampoo treatment and a good shaving
* Paige and I had some serious mommy/daughter time and watched some great Barbie movies.
* My husband managed to gain even more brownie points by walking away from the Suns game to pick nits out of my hair for 2 hours. He is so good to me.
* I lost 5 pounds. No joke. My new business venture: "Need to lose weight? Forget all those dieting scams, try Nausea-Inducing Lice! Quick and effective." Honestly, I have had no appetite with all the bugs (remember my phobia?), plus I've been so consumed with the Killing and Disinfecting that there's been no time for food.
* More love. A painstaking, tedious, and dreadful occupation such as Lice Killer, sanctifies you in a way you never knew possible. And, this labor builds upon unconditional love. Really, I'm not just being poetic...well, maybe a little poetic.
Now, excuse me while I go bleach the sheets--again.
So glad Grandma & Grandpa Owens could join us to celebrate the birthday boy. I believe Gavin was in the middle of saying "cheese!"
"Gramma & Grampa Biorn" -- a lovely couple from church who sit with us in the congregation and help me with the kids. They have held Gavin in church since he was 4 weeks old, when Steve was first called to the Bishopric. We love them.

All of our outdoor activities/games were rained out. Luckily, Daddy came through with some fun indoor Star Wars fun.
Friends from his class at school.
It was so fun celebrating your day, Trevor. We love you so much and are so thankful for your place in our family. You have a sweet, caring and sensitive spirit. You are a good friend. You like to choose the right. And you like to do things the first time you are asked--I love this about you. You love Steve Nash, Star Wars, coloring and drawing, sounding out words and writing sentences, memorizing Articles of Faith, and eating chocolate.
Happy Birthday, T-Boy!
