Paul Mitchell Opens In Norman

So, some of you know and some of you don't, but Norman now has a Paul Mitchell hair school. Our good friends Matt and Heather are co-owners to the school. Tonight was the Grand Opening and I got to go with some great ladies! I'm sooo excited we have this school here. I've been wanting, dreaming, having an overwhelming desire to go to hair school, but haven't had the opprotunity yet. I always wanted to go to as good of a school as I could and now I have an amazing opprotunity right at my back door (well kind of at my back door). I'm hoping to start in the next year or two.....

Anyway about tonight, I got to go with Catherine and Claudia...We hit Olive Garden for dinner. Our waitress was a nut and wouldn't let us refill our salad or bread sticks because I had ordered an appetizer for my meal. If we wanted a refill they were going to charge us an extra $3. Then they ended up taking my "meal" off the ticket. We only were able to get three Andes mints too! They were pretty stingy for some reason. After dinner we headed over to Paul Mitchell for their Grand Opening. There were sooo many people there...Most of which had interesting hair color choices and cuts. We found Heather and she asked us if we had met John Paul yet....She grabbed us by the arm and started working us through the crowd to a room....Then she proceeded to walk us right up to the front of the line. We had our pic taken with John Paul and Winn who co-owns Paul Mitchell Schools with John Paul. In process of getting posed for the pic....I ended up with my hand grazing John Paul buttocks! I was suprised as to where my hand landed....So what did I do?...Move it quickly and say sorry....Oh no, I just froze and left it there! I'm hoping he didn't notice! :) Anyway, we got to spend the evening visiting and then listen to John and Winn speak! It was so inspiring to hear what they had to say....My favorite part....when they said they don't take everyone as students at their school that applies to go....they only want people who are serious about the industry! It drives me nuts when people just go to go and have passion or desire really for it that clog up the schools and cause waiting lists to happen which keep people that actually love it and can't wait to do it from being able to go! It was just great and John Paul's eagle and oyster story/analogy was great! If only I could remember it well enough to tell it.

Anyway, after listening to John and Winn, we left and headed to passionberri for some dessert.....Ok new addiction! That stuff is sooo good and it's located WAY too close to my house!

It was a great night and one I will never forget!

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!?!?!

This year we decided to let Silas play football the way it was meant to be played. Helmets, Pads, Mouthpieces. None of this flag football. So if you have a free Saturday come and see the next great Football player from Oklahoma. If you have never seen 7 year olds play before, you're in for a treat.

Laundry + Peroxide = ?

So, I was sleeping in a little because I didn't feel good this morning! For those who haven't figured it out yet or heard we are expecting baby number 4 sometime in September. Anyway, I got woke up a little because Ben came in and started the washer. The dog had peed in his box and he was washing the towel we had in there. Anyway, I caught him with a bottle of peroxide that he appeared to be trying to add to the wash. I didn't say anything. I just went back to sleep and kind of chuckled to myself. If you don't know his dad, he is always adding ,what seem strange to me, things to laundry. On several occasions he has been known to use pine sol to wash his whites. Well, I have been wondering all day now, and thought I'd bring it to the blog. What benefit would it have to pour peroxide in your washer with your clothes? It just seems to me that it would be so diluted that it wouldn't really do anything. Any ideas out there?

Silas' Birthday!

Silas decided that instead of a birthday party this year with his friends he wanted to go out for a dinner with our family. He made a list of several restaurants he was thinking of going to and for some reason decided that Johnny Carino's was where he wanted to eat. We met everyone for dinner and then came back to our house for presents and cake. We had a good time. It's crazy that he is 7. Time really does fly by.
