tgifof!!! crochet-along + hair update + some super cuteness :o)

http://tamisamis.blogspot.com/

well, i'm going to cheat just a tad, i don't technically have an fof because it's a wip right now but i have actually finished some of the goal for today.  i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by this because there are so many circles that have to be done but i know once i get the rd1/rd2 goal over with it will be much easier on the next set of rounds & will go faster.  :)  so i have quite a few different pics of them to show you & then something super cute & a hair update so here we go!


first up, crochet along update, it's not too late to join inner hooker's crochet-along.  :)

here they are, i have a little over ¼ done, orange is not the right color but everything else is looking pretty much like the colors i'm using.



they look like cookies.  :)



stored in a wipe container so i don't lose any in the couch, boy, that would really piss me off!!  ;)  11 yellow/red, 11 red/orange, 2 blue/yellow & just 4 yellow centers for the blue/yellow ones.  this is my dark set.  i still have to do the bright set, hopefully by sunday i will have those done. 

next, friday hair update.  hopp has had the same 'do since tuesday just one mini pony on top but today i switched it up & put it to the side.  this is her normal 'do so no pics taken.  :)  i think my fave this week is wednesday's 'do on q.  she is sooooo cute & great to photograph.  just like last week i got my inspiration from hairstyles by mommy, check her out, lots of cute hair for you or your kiddos.  oh & she just posted how to make your hair curly without heat, curlers or wet hair to bed.  i will be trying this out soon!

friday

now for the cute report.  i have been smitten by q's freckles.  you can't really see them in the pics because they are so light but in person they are more noticeable.  i love them so much & i actually have freckles but they are more on my chest & shoulders.  just something about a little freckle-faced kiddo is so cute & sweet.  so i finally got a good up-close pic of them.  :o)

awwww freckles, now only if she didn't have a look of pain on her face.  ;)

oh & hopp & q both sleep together & i noticed hopp had some scratches on her back on & on her leg this am & if you look at q's face from this morning's pic she has a scratch on her eye lid, i'm thinking they had a cat fight in the middle of the night.  =)

hair days

so i posted earlier this week about doing the girls hair daily & making sure they look cute & sweet (not that they don't already but people treat people differently on how they look.  it's sad but true!  my cuties may be cute but damn they are super cute with their "hurr did")  :P  so here is a look back in the week of hair.  check out hairstyles by mommy for other super cute hair dos!  she is my biggest inspiration & i stole 8/23, 8/25 & 8/26.  she has the triple double (which she calls something else) but i have been doing this for years when jess was little so that is an oldie but a goodie.  :)

8/22 headband day aka day before i vowed to do super cute hair, there will be more of these, i'm sure she will get bored of me pulling on her hair on occasion.  :)

8/23 ponytail veil, i think this is one of my faves.  so pretty!!!

8/24 introducing the 'triple double' & 'everywhere' ponies, don't pay attention to the parts, i'm getting better ;)

8/24 (evening) this was an impromptu 'do, another fave.  i just love how cute this is on her.  despite the sassy pose, she HATES HATES HATES her hair being "bended", that's what she calls it.  :o)  hopp had the same 'do as the day before but i put an extra pony at the bottom gathering all the hair at the bottom  there were a total of 5 ponies on her head.

8/25 still kicking myself for not getting a fresh morning pic!!!!  :(  this was after her shower.  i can't wash her hair too often because she gets really dry scalp, this is my sensitive skin child, i'm thinking that celiac's is the main reason.  it was still really cute.  this was a take on the side knots but her hair wouldn't lay flat, maybe because i didn't do the actual knots so i just connected them.  she said that it looked like a snake, hence the name side snake.  :o)



8/26 the double knotted pony & i tried the triple double on hopp, yay her hair is long enough!  hopp looks like she is doing the 'popeye'.  i swear i can never get her to look me straight in the camera & smile, she is actually saying 'cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese'  :)


i plan on doing a friday roundup of all the cute 'dos on the girls throughout the week.  this has been a great first week at school for q!  she has the cutest new little friend named alexis that sits at her table.  they are so cute together!  :o)  hope everyone else is having a good time back at school.

first 2 days of school

it's been a good 2 mornings.  everyone has been in a good mood, i've gotten up early, well earlier than usual.  i've been successful in our first two lunches for q & i even did hair pretty today.  not that yesterday wasn't, it was just a headband day yesterday.  today i did lots of extra stuff for q.  so here are the pics from the first day...

my sweet little chickens ready for a new school year

so cute!  i made hopp get out of the picture because she refuses to look & smile at me while getting pics taken ;)

cute smile, check!   hello kitty lunch box, check!

rapunzel backpack, check!!!  she is so proud of that backpack & lunch box!  :)

can you believe these shirts are back in style?  she is getting too old!  i'm not old enough to have a JUNIOR!!!

how appropriate, my little chicken sits at the chicken table :)

playing with play dough, starting the day out right :)

so i really want to make sure q has cute hair each day & since she doesn't have straight hair we can't do bangs so i always have to have her hair back, either headband, ponytail or whatever.  she always wants it down so i was really trying to find new ways to do her hair.  plain ponytails get boring!  so while on pinterest, btw, if you aren't on pinterest you are really missing out!  this site is absolutely genius!  anything & everything you possibly wanted to learn to do yourself or inspiration ideas to silly stuff is on here!  well, i stumbled upon this site to do little girls hair.  i had q pick out a style, we printed it out & i tried it out last night.  i have done something similar before but thought this was so pretty!  so here is the finished product...

ponytail veil

it turned out so pretty!  this is the actually page i got it from.  the site is called hairstyles by mommy.  she has the cutest hairstyles!  i'm definitely going for something new tomorrow!  i've thought i might actually do a hair-a-day post or maybe a weekly post of all her hair through the week would be better.  :)

i also did lil' hopp's hair, she use to go to a home daycare where the lady would put her hair in little ponytails all over.  it looked so cute so after baths i did her hair too. 

i should have gotten a pic of her this am but didn't even think of it till now.  but this is the top/back of her pontytails.  i will take a pick of the front later.  :)

i hope everyone had a great first days at school!  i know some of you started last week so that includes you guys too.  :)
