Edward Scissorhands

I love both of my children for so many different reasons.  Abby is the most empathetic and loving child I have ever seen.  When she was in second grade she took part of her birthday money and bought a girl in her class a swim suit because she did not have one when they went to swim class.  That made me proud as a peacock!  Abby is always looking out for everyone...she has a special knack for that.

Luke on the other hand, is simply mischevious!  He is always into something he should not be!  About 6 weeks ago he wanted to comb my hair, so gratefully, I handed him the comb, closed my eyes and was preparing to relax when all of a sudden I hear the sharp crisp sound of scissors cutting hair.  Not just hair, my hair!!  I screamed and jumped up, Luke immediately teared up.  I pulled a huge glob of hair from the back of my head!  It was awful.  When I asked him why he did it, he relplied that he wanted to see what I would look like with short hair! 

Yesterday we were getting ready to go vote, I look over at Luke and he had a huge chunk cut out of his bangs.  I asked him why he cut his hair, he said he didn't do it....I put a hat on him and we went on to vote and purchase groceries.  When we got home I ended up clipping his hair, I couldn't salvage it...he had cut it nearly to the scalp!  Luke is now grounded from scissors.

I baked a caramel apple cake this evening, it was scrumptious.  I'll post the recipe tomorrow. I am heading to bed now, I am exhausted...night!

Your little girl sounds so sweet and giving to be able to use her own money to give someone else a swiming suit. How wonderful!!
