My Sweet Hubby


He told me yesterday morning that he was going to make me dinner. He is a great cook. I can cook to feed a family, but he can cook a truly gourmet meal. We had herb roasted pork, roasted potatoes, and salad. For dessert we had strawberries. It was a FANTASTIC meal.

We all went to the grocery store in the morning. We gave the boys each a circus box of animal cracker cookies to keep them happy. I remember as a child my mother always got us a box of those cookies if we were good at the store. The boxes are still the same today as when I was a child.

After the store, Ken taught me how to put air in the tires. Nerdy, I know. But I have never put air in tires before and had no idea how to use a tire gauge.

Then, after we put the boys to bed, he dyed my hair for me. I have been wanting a change for awhile. Just before New Year I used a semi-permanent red dye. I loved it so much that I decided to make a permanent switch. I am a now redhead. I used to have a lot of red in my hair before I had kids. In my wedding photos I look really red. Now my hair color is yet another feature pregnancy changed. However, unlike my waistline and stretch marks, I can get my hair color back. I have the redhead complexion as well. My cheeks are covered in freckles and I have green eyes. Overall, I am happy with the color.

That is so sweet. You need to post a picture of your red hair if you're going to talk about it. By the way, do you know if anyone reads my blog besides you? Did everyone get me e-mail?

The red-headed Chiara is back and there are no photos? Darn it. Oddly, Chiara as a red-head is the Chiara I know.

What is the back story behind the hair dye incident? You can't leave it at that.

Perhaps it's a tale much like our joint hair-dyeing operation at the Schadt household over 8 years ago. Yikes!

Why did ya'll pick purple for my hair anyway?

Yes Sue...this is almost exactly like the Henry day.

Oh Henry! Now that probably is a blog worthy event...perhaps a day when I have nothing else to write about. :-)

Did you turn your grout red?
