Mom Moment

Yesterday we were driving home (me and the three kiddos) from getting Natalie and Will's hair cut. I had turned on the radio to the local Christian station. A song from Kutless, came on. Natalie used to sing this song in her class at school last year and she even knows the sign language motions. So, her and I start singing it and then we here Will chime in. "We Fall Down,We cwy howy, howy, howy is da wamb." (that's we cry holy, holy, holy is the lamb for those of you who don't know the song). Will says, "I know this song! We sing it in class!" He was so excited! So there we were, the three of us (+ Spencer...can't quite sing yet) singing praise in the car. It was such a wonderful moment for me...I got all teary-eyed and just had to lift my hands up in praise! Thank you, God, for that precious moment of hearing Natalie and Will lift their sweet little voices to honor You. I was quickly snapped back to reality when Nat told me to get my hands back on the steering wheel! Oh well...it was great for a moment and something I'll always treasure and remember!

Mini Makeovers for the Mida Kids

The Mida kids got hair makeovers yesterday. Will's had been a little shaggy and I was just taking Natalie for a trim. Well, on the way there, Natalie said she wanted to get her hair cut "short" like a couple of her friends at school. I thought she was kidding...Natalie maybe gets her hair cut once or twice a year, and even then it's only like an inch off. We get there yesterday and the stylist cut pretty conservative...2 to 3 inches off. She asked Nat what she thought, and Nat said "SHORTER!" So, in the end, Natalie had 6-7 inches cut off...I was in shock! But, she is loving it! She said, "I'm going to get alot of attention at school tomorrow, aren't I?!" Here are the befores and afters...
