Making Up For Lost Time

After several days of being stuck in the house and doing a whole lotta nothing, we got to get out Tuesday and have a little fun.  Nicholas didn't get to go to school at all last week because of the bad weather so he was super excited that he got to go back yesterday.  AND it was pizza day!  He's really gotten into school lately and has such a good time when he's there.  After school, we swung by Grammy's house to pick her up and we all headed off to get him a real haircut at a real salon.  Now, I use the term "salon" loosely here because it's really more of a casual haircutting shop geared totally for kids, but you get the idea.  It's called Snip-Its and they have games and toys for the kiddos to play with and each haircutting station has a TV playing cartoons.  Nicholas was slightly nervous when we sat him down in the chair, but once he saw that I was sitting right next to him he calmed right down.  He behaved perfectly the entire time and was very patient while she got him all fixed up, even when she used the clippers.  He looks downright snazzy with his fresh new haircut and it definitely makes him look so much more grown up.  (sniff, sniff) After the haircut adventure, it was time for our playdate with Max and Kacee, which is always special for Nicholas.  He loves his friends so much and I love the fact that they've been best buddies since birth.  The kids played together for a bit and then the whole gang went to meet Greg for dinner at Ron's, which serves the yummiest, greasiest burgers on the planet.  Delish!  By the time Nicholas and I got home, it was starting to snow again and the temparture had turned frigidly cold out.  We ran inside and immediately got snuggly in my bed where we watched a movie until we both fell asleep.  Ah yes, it was an absolutely wonderful day!
