Ordinary day.

This weekend was pretty ordinary.  Yesterday, Gabbie had a play date with a friend and then they came over for dinner.  Today we went to church, and both girls got their haircut.

It was Lilahs first haircut, and I booked it for right after church, like a rookie.  She was so tired from not getting her morning nap that she threw a fit most of the time, and ended up getting her hair cut while Joel held her, in front of a retail display with lots of fun toys to look at.  In spite of her "spirited" demeanor, the cut turned out absolutely adorable, thanks to her wonderful stylist.  (It had started to get very long on the top, but underneath was still shorter, so It had this awkward style about it.). Then we went for a cupcake and headed home. 

We played and had dinner, before the girls went to bed.  

Like I said, pretty ordinary.  It was so wonderful.  Spring is starting to pop up a bit, so the girls could walk around outside, and they are getting to an age where they play well together (most of the time).  

Sometimes I feel like these ordinary days are something that we hurry through to get onto the next big event... The next big milestone, party, trip, etc.  I think we forget that these are the days that matter most.  These are the days when we are helping our children turn into who they will be and helping them figure out what they love to do.

These days count, too.
