It hurts to have hair!

My babies have hair, lots of it. The funniest part is that Evie pulls and screams, which makes her clench, pull, and then scream harder. A vicious cycle! It's terribly funny to watch and yet you feel so bad! Here is our kiddo in action:


We've been filling our time with:


Killer Jenga games-
this was our favorite (courtesy of the Hills)


Bounce, bounce, and more bounce houses with cousins and friends!



Yes, this is how we caught Kya sleeping. So did she fall out or is she just that angelic and fell asleep while praying??


First time ice-skating! She did great!
Her motto:
"When the going gets tough,
Kya gets DANG tough!"

Not complete without princess tea parties!
Today was a GREAT day! I was genuinely, truly, absolutely excited when I saw the temperature was back up to 19 degrees!! WAHOOOOO!!! We've landed in the coldest winter in 18 years. At least we're out of the single digits!
Here is our girls' band.
ROCK ON!


But more realistically, here is what's really been filling up every last second of my time
What is one tenth of
one hundredth of
one thousandth?
or
Are there unique solutions for VC firms to survive in a "2 and 20" world?
.
Will Dubai actually peel off assets or how will they survive?
.
Did you know that the most "wildly popular class" right now at Stanford Business School is "Work & Family" - teaching techniques for two incredibly bright people to juggle success, careers, family, etc.
For example: highly educated women who leave the labor force for two yrs earn an average of 18% less than if they had continued working.
.
Meanwhile top companies have hired Shawn Achor (teaches "Positive Psychology" at Harvard) aka "Dr. Happy" to help moost morale because employees were so emotionally drained. (Sound familiar with any of you or your companies right now???)
Stat:
Teams whose managers had positive attitudes had less turnover, fewer sick days, and higher productivity. -Michelle Conlin
.
agh! I could go on and on (my old Cali book club babes will just roll their eyes and laugh at my "geekiness") - but someone in the next room is crying for attention.
G'night!
ps - zhu zhu pets are in stock at shopko.com right now

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her hair! And it does crack me up that she pulls it and then screams! What a cutie!

And we miss those princess tea parties with Kya :(

So sad about the hair. We don't have those kinds of problems with Hilton babies!

Good luck with the studying. Maybe you'll be pulling your hair out alongside Evie here soon!

And I'll say that Kya is just angelic and fell asleep while praying. You've obviously taught her well.
