I have two names for the swirly thing. A “cowlick” and a “whirlajig.” Both my sons have them and they cause lovely “Dennis the Menace” style rooster-tails. I have one in the front that makes my bangs look weird if I don’t blow dry and curl.
LOL…..that is funny ![]()
My friend’s daughter got her finger stuck.
Sweet picture
that is SO funny. that thing is actually called a crown and in the front is a cowlick. my sweet boy is actualy “blessed” whith a double crown. this makes a hair style hard to find, i’m just glad that my girls don’t have them.
That IS funny!!! Cole loves to twirl his hair, too, except that the spot isn’t getting thinner…it’s actually longer and more luxurious than the hair on the rest of his head. How does that happen???
Alex used to do that when he was little too. He liked the sides of his hair though, he had 2 tin little bald patches for about a month & then suddenly he lost interest.
Too cute! My 16 month old and 3 year old both love to do the hair twirl, and that is how they both fall asleep is by doing the hair twirl, but the only problem is that it is MY hair that they are twirling!
LOL—that’s such a man’s way of looking at it! Too funny!
My four year old has been doing that for a couple of years now. he actually did give himself quite the bald spot a few months ago.
Spencer does the same thing… are we causing our kids nervousa?
hehehehehehehe!
Thanks for the giggle today!
My austin did the same thing!! thin spot and all! he is so cute, Shannon!
hahahahahaha!
This is funny…thanks for sharing!
bwahahaha . . . solid humor.

Ok, nurse in the house. Rx (that means prescription — FYI): Babysitter, every other Saturday… and a fun family activity on the other Saturday nights. I’ve decided I want to have people over for a BBQ more often. Kids playing the backyard, living the american dream, and then babysitter the other weekends. It’s simple, but effective.
I think you and I had the same Saturday Shannon…not a good day for me either. Hope things get better soon!
I get that too
So where is the spoiled brat going? Come on….share your medicine. Some of us may need a prescription to it too.
I think I have that, too! Mark always wants to say home and I always want to DO SOMETHING. Where are you going?? By yourself?? How fun!
wow…I SO have that syndrome too. I never knew it had a name
Thanks for the diagnosis…nice to know I am not the only one with this sickness
I love your stories Shannon!
Where are you going by yourself? And are you going to know what to do by yourself?
I totally think I have that sickness sometimes–only mine doesn’t only come on Saturdays.

You are always funny Shannon- in a good way though! Like I am laughing with you, not at you!! Love love love your “Perfect Fit” layout in the Garden, don’t you just love when they fit like that!?!? Sammy always back up to me to sit down on my lap like that. I have to remember to have someone get me the camera next time! Hope the park was fun!
“Some nasty concoction that I had whipped up.” Ha Ha. THAT made ME laugh!
You are always making me laugh too Shannon…because you are REAL and tell it like it is. And it is so refreshing and nice…and funny! Just like this post…funny. =)

Fabulous! Nothing like a new kitchen to make you feel better. Brave of you to go with all the kids and I love your dishwasher description.
Congrats on the appliances…I love Western (they used to have this catchy little song back in the 70′s-80′s). Can’t wait to see the kitchen when it’s done!
So awesome! I’m a wee bit jealous! We have lived in our home for 8 years and still, the same kitchen that was here….sigh…..one day
Hooray for you!!!
WooHoo! New appliances and it’s not even Christmas! I would love a new fridge…a spanky new clean fridge!
yeah for you! i live in an old house too so i feel your pain, really feel it. except you atleast have cabinets that are now considered retro. my kitchen was remodeled in the very early 80′s. ewwwww. we have painted and tiled, but i am still needing new cabinets. anyhow…..heres a tip for that grease on the copper tile – MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASER!!!! – works like a charm.
you know…I also have an original kitchen. I’m gonna say about as old, but our house was built in 1905. it is disgusting. Nothing comes clean. Everything is caked with grease. DEAD people’s dirt, I might add…
as for living with piles of wood in your kitchen, fear not sister. I am your sister in crappy housedom. I share my bedroom with the new cabinets. Every morning, I roll over, smack the alarm, get up, and smack my toe on what will one day (here’s to sooner than later…) be my spice rack.
Congrats on the appliances though. We haven’t gone there yet…
yay for the new appliances! One day you’ll gaze at your lovely brand new kitchen, and all these memories will (hopefully) fade away. :p

well, everybody needs a magazine rack in the kitchen!! Plus mirrors, definitely! Sooo glad you got yourself some awesome new appliances!!
You’ll have your dreamy kitchen someday…keep working at it!
Shannon- Just so you know, I love looking at your blog. Congrats on the new appliances! LUCKY!!
You crack me up Shannon! There is nothing like a new kitchen! That is where I spend 90% of my day, so a nice kitchen is high on my priority list!
We just finished going through a kitchen remodel. Exciting stuff. The place is exactly how I want it now. Almost makes me want to cook. Almost.
)
How exciting! Except for the “it gets worse before it gets better” part! Can’t wait to see updated photos!
How exciting! It will feel like a new house. Congrats!
I swear I have the twin kitchen to yours…those are so our cabinets. we rent though so can’t get rid of them unfortunately…but I totally get you on the not being able to get them clean…ever!
congratulations on the new kitchen coming your way . . . and thanks for another great read . . .
very exciting. it’s going to be great when you guys get it done!
I can’t believe that Dave LETS you leave the kitchen to do scrapbooking and photos. You’re lucky.
You crack me up!
This is hilarious because a new kitchen has been consuming my every breath for the last few months. We’ve talked about it since the moment we moved into our house almost four years ago. When we moved I painted the cabinets and after 3 different colors slapped on there we found one we could live with and the countertops are covered in liner paper. Yes that would be drawer liner paper on my counters. Believe me it looks a million times better that what’s underneath. My husband has taken on a large side job at night and weekends and the money has been designated for the new kitchen only. It’s taking up loads of quality time right now but when he calls to say he’s going to be really late I just say “It’s okay, new kitchen”.
WOO HOOO… so, are oyu gonna install the appliances beofre doing new caibnets? Or are they sitting in your garage?

Sorry to hear about your neck Shannon. I hope you are feeling better soon and the cankers go away!
When you are down and out like that, you should always call your mother. She will give you sympathy and love.
You go girl!…laying on that couch with a good book! It is true…how things fall apart when we’re “broken” or sick! Hope things are better for you this week though! Blessings!
k, let me know what works. We canker s gotta stick together.
