Prince Charming & I surprised the boys with tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters game last night. The 2 older boys found out what we were doing, but we all kept it a surprise from Bubby. I won't get into the problems we had before we got in the doors, but once we got in, we had a BLAST!

Waiting for the game to start...

C-Man (ever so popular) spotted a group of friends down on the floor, so he & Bubs headed down to hang out. They ended up staying there the entire game, they had FANTASTIC seats! I went back & forth between our good seats & down on the floor checking on them (ok, & getting better pics lol). It was definitely a long night for the Princess, but it was SO worth it. I'm not sure if the boys had more fun watching the game, or getting the autographs after of all the players. Not that it matters, the important thing is we went as a family & made some wonderful memories.

Here are just a few of the pics I snapped last night. Unfortunately, I didn't get many of Bonez, he took off with Dad to get autographs & well, let's just say, NOW Prince Charming knows how to take pics on HIS phone. Grrrr

The players were GREAT, very talkative & super fun with the kids. Here's my favorite pic of the entire night, this guy was a riot!

I love that we were able to take advantage of them being here in town & enjoy a great family night together.

My Embarrassing Haircut...

Ok, so it's the end of the school year, the kids bring home their writing journals & a whole bunch of other "stuff". It was late one night & I started going through some of C-Man's pile. I found a writing journal of his & started skimming through it, trying to decide if it should be kept, or tossed. OMGosh, I was laughing so hard, I was literally crying. The story I am going to share with you is just so... HIM! It still cracks me up each time I read it. It may be kind of long, sorry, but it is funny. Anyway, here goes... (oh, he was 9 when this happened).

Snip! Snip! That's the sound of my hair being cut. I will never forget my surprise accidental haircut.

Just before I got my haircut, I was playing my ps3. i was also beating my brother in the video game. When I beat him by a lot, (43 pts), he got mad because everytime I beat him in Madden, he would get mad.

After a while my dad came downstairs saying "hurry up, are you ready yet". He said that because we were supposed to go as soon asI got home from school, & he was upstairs playing poker online for an hour. Then we left, when we got there my dad gave them a picture of my brother, he said "that's how I want their hair done/cut. It felt kind of awkward. When they finished, it left like I had NO hair.

When I looked in the mirror, it was way shorter than I thought it would be, I HATED it. Luckily I had a hat with me, so I put it on. When I walked next to my dad, he knocked my hat off. My brother said "ha ha, you look funny". I said "Well, you don't look any different" because he got his haircut also!

That's the story of my accidental surprise haircut... but there is one thing wrong, it wasn't really an accidental haircut. Next time I'm beating my brother in a sweet video game & my dad says "hurry up, are you ready yet", I'm going to sneak out the front or back door & see if my dad is looking for me to take me for a haircut.


Ok, you may not find this very amusing, but I can TOTALLY hear him saying this. This one makes me laugh, all the time, he cracks me up! Anyway, I left everything just the way he wrote it, I didn't "fix" anything.

Hmmm, it's time for him to get another haircut, wonder if he'll remember this story, maybe I'll bribe him with something else first, THEN, head to the haircutting place. LOL
