AZ Republic Review of the Show  (Has some good pictures) My review :  Best show ever.  I could just leave it at that, but here's some fun numerical stats: 2 - Number of times Billie Joe mooned his bum at the crowd 6 - Age of the cute little boy who was brought on stage during the show 3 - Number of hours Greenday performed for (freaking amazingness) 2 - Number of rolls of T.P. shot at the crowd from a guitar T.P. shooter device thingy 1 - Number of crazy, beer drinking pink bunnies that were on stage.  Disturbing and HILARIOUS 1994 - The year Greenday released Dookie (with the poop flinging monkey's on the cover that I thought was just hilarious - I was in 9th grade - have liked them ever since) Greenday totally surpassed my expectations -- they put on such a rockin' show.  Even the folks on the lawn were rockin'!  What an amazing band!  Hubby and I had the most fun we have had in years!!  I felt youthful again rather than like a 3...

So I started growing out my hair when I got pregnant with Baby E, and then just let it keep growing while I was pregnant with M . . . and those prenatal vitamins (when I could remember to take them) sure help your hair and nails to grow!  I decided that I was going to donate it to locks of love , sometime after M was born, and then I was just working on growing it long enough that it would not be boy short when I cut it off.  Today I went to Dolce Salon & Spa (in Chandler - they were delightful) and donated 4 braids!  It felt SO good to not have sticky long hair anymore, and I felt good because I did something for someone else.  I will post some pictures of my haircut soon (when I get time to do it up all cute) -- but for now, here is a picture of the braids I donated!

My little sweeties are growing up so quickly.  They are so smart and doing so well!   I took some pictures this morning as they were headed back to school . . .
