I Ran for Central Park

And then immediately ran myself to Crumbs bakery where I partook in a delicious cupcake. It was worth every step of the race to preserve the park. Too bad the calorie count was more than those burned during the race. Nothing like enjoying the scenery and running behind a 78 year old man, that for the life of me, I couldn't pass. Oh well, I still stand proud at coming in at 3,751st place.

The Fro...should it stay or should it go?

"Frolton"
"Soul Glo curl"
"The Kramer"

"Slick"

"The train wreck"

We think Colton might be ready for his first haircut. I think we all cringe in thinking about it, but I suspect that we maybe the only ones that think it's cute. I don't want to be that mom who thinks it's so adorable, while others are wondering why I don't concern myself with the appearance of my children. While I do think he's got a diversity of hairstyles, some have not turned out too well. As you can see above, there is "Frolton" that is easily done with fingers running through his hair and a bit of my hairspray. "Soul Glo curl" is his post bath look. His most common style is probably "The Kramer" (or "sticky do" as I like to call it) which is a result of every food he has consumed that day inevitably ending in his locks. His first haircut almost happened when he had an encounter with Thomas. After using his head as battery-powered Thomas' track, his hair got tangled in the wheels. Luckily, we were able to salvage it. Our latest venture was last week as we wondered what he would look like with straight hair. Answer: Not cute. We've never seen No Country for Old Men, but he looked like that freaky guy on the previews. Ian didn't like it so much either. His response was, "Colton's a girl". He sooned followed his remark with "I want Colton to be a boy". We held our breath in fear that we had permanently killed his curl. Which leads me to another question. We've gotten a few people comment on how their son's hair was this curly when they were toddlers and as soon as they cut it, it grew back straight. Is this possible? I think that's why we've held off on cutting it. So, this has been the ongoing debate in our home. Should we cut Colton's hair? We have about 7-10 days to decide since our camera is currently at the manufacturer's for repair, and we undoubtedly need to document this life changing event.

Rated G...boring

I'm more of a PG-13 fan, so maybe I should add a few "staten island" words and some offensive pictures of me at the beach and maybe our blog will get bumped up.

Meeting Mickey at his house.

As you can see, June has been the best month ever for us. We started with a Seare family vacation in California which included lots of beach time and Disneyland. It ended with me and the boys in Arizona for a 2 weeks. We visited with more family and friends and did lots of swimming. Things enjoyed but not pictured: lunches and dinners with friends and family, Big Surf water park, and train ride and cowboy show at the Rawhide.
