The Saying should go like this: "Sugar and Sass and endless hairdos"

So I just realized today that I braid hair approximatly 3 times a day. That's Abby's hair once and Livi's before school and before bed. How and when did I become a hairdresser?

Olivia is obsessed with braids and will not let me put her hair any other way. She prefers two full french braids but sometimes will allow me two regular braids when I'm short on time. For our family photo shoot she refused to let me leave her hair down which was such a shame as she has the most beautiful head of hair I've ever seen.

It really is funny that she is so much like my childhood heroine Anne of Green Gables. And although she hasn't a clue who that is yet, she has the strong will and the red braids already.

As you all know thats why her middle name is Anne with an "E". Little did I know that my Fiery red headed, 1/4, Korean, Leo, would eventually become as strong willed, stubborn and a little sassy like Anne of Green Gables. Sheesh..What's in a name, huh? And she's only 5...

(As mentioned above, you all know I love (am obsessed ;) with Anne of Green Gables...well on a little sidenote, I found the Official AoGG Website. Yeah, I know I'm a nerd. The best news is that Sullivan Entertainment who made the original AoGG into a miniseries just released a new addition to the Anne line starring none other than one of my FAVE actresses Miss. Shirley Maclaine! More on this later...and yes I know I'm a weirdo.)

Getting back to the hairdo's I must say I do love that I have little girls and when I do hair thrice a day it does give me the opportunity to touch them, be close and smooch them when they're not paying attention. (Ok, it's not all sugar and spice, usually Liv is yelling at me that I'm hurting her. What can I say, beauty is pain and braids, well theirs alot of pulling involved.)

That said, I just realized I have so many years of braiding and hairdos. Not to mention my own hair. My hands will be crippled and arthritic by the time I'm 40 at the rate I'm doing hair. The good news is that she only wants braids. The bad news is that someday she won't let me touch her hair and may be using copious amounts of aerosol hairspray to straighten her mohawk. Lordy, I hope not. So for now I'm ok with the braids. :)

Do you bloggers out their with girls in the home spend an amazing amount of time on hair? Give me some of your "hair raising" stories. :)

Now an oppoturnity to show off some cute pics of my little braided ladies. :) Enjoy
