Hot Humid Arkansas





For anyone who has seen me lately, i haven't given up "vacation hair" since returning from a fabulous ski trip nearly a month ago now. You know how it goes, those who have curly hair want strait hair and vice versa. Well, my hair has always been just annoyingly kinky. After having children, with a little coaxing, i have a pretty full head of nice crazy curls. Before ski trip, I was blow drying for what seemed like ages, then on to the flat iron. Okay, sorry this story is getting longer and longer...

Anyway, i hadn't even tried the curly hair with my new short hair until we decided that we needed to catch the shuttle to dinner in a short 30 minutes. Not washing the mess of hair that had been flattened by a beanie while skiing all day was NOT an option. So, curly it was. Being unprepared, my fellow curly haired friend (she EMBRACES her curly hair and doesn't even think about trying to straiten hers...) loaded me up with product and to my surprise, it's wild, but totally acceptable enough that i've officially re-given up the flat iron. Sorry to all of you out there who liked my hair straight. The extra 20 minutes in the morning is WAY more precious than the straight hair.


Now, for the point of this blog. I really have a burning deep down desire for Kate to have curly hair. I hope i'm right and that she will EMBRACE and LOVE the curls... But, it was a hot and humid March saturday and i was resisting the air conditioner. So, she might have perspired just a bit (she definately didn't sweat) while she was napping. When i went in to get her up, i swear her hair looked like i'd been after it with a curling iron, thus the pictures. Aren't those curls ADORABLE??? I love it. I'm sure that when her hair grows, the curls will get straightened out a bit, and she'll end up with annoyingly kinky hair like i once had, but i'm loving it while it lasts!!!
