A few moments from the weekend:
*Trying a new thing to keep Maeve from chewing her hair. Bandannas as often as possible. She looks like a little housewife but I'm at the end of my list of ideas (next up, we chop that hair off).
*Went to the Art Museum Saturday morning and saw Migration (Empire), which is a modern art film, not very long, on continuous loop there until September. The subject is wild animals in cheap motel rooms. Really. Really.
*We had fondue Saturday night and totally stuffed ourselves on cheese and chocolate and Mike grilled salmon for the main course and it was all excellent
*At church today the second reading was one I'd never heard before, which of course is impossible, but it was one I'd never really heard this way, I suppose.
*After church, the gay pride parade starts right at our front doors (church, not house). There were these balloon things...I wish I'd had my camera. Each one was about 30 balloon art balloons, but not twisted into shapes. Just attached together at a point. Like giant sea anemones on long poles. They were hypnotic.
*Ann watched Leo (yay!) and the rest of us went to Forest Park and rented a paddle boat at the Boat House. Beautiful day and the girls didn't fight too often and we paddled around for over an hour.
*Tired afterward, we picked up Leo and came home. I put a chicken in the oven, beans in the dehydrator for our trip next week, and then managed to get Leo to nap. And I did too. Still groggy...but dinner cooked while I slept and now it's time to eat.

Sounds like a great weekend! M would not stop chewing her hair, either. I kept threatening to cut it all off over and over and over. One day I snapped and did it. She actually looked really cute with a bob. Needless to say, we have never had a problem since (even with it grown back out).
Maeve sobs every time I bring it up. She's terrified she'll look like a boy. Right. But I'm happy to give the bandannas a chance...
Your weekend sounds divine. I was a hair chewer in my youth. I can't remember when I stopped though, or why. Perhaps you can show Maeve a picture of all those microscopic things that live on hair.

We had to cut Clare's hair when she chewed/sucked on her hair -- the haircut was quite cute (and easy to take care of) and she never went back to chewing on her hair when the hair grew longer. She was probably younger than Maeve though, so getting a haircut didn't bother her much.
Sounds like you had an action packed weekend.
I got a fuzzy cell phone pic of the balloon guys. I'll have to see if I can upload it.
Thanks for letting me play with that guy... I got the long end of that stick ; )
I love this post.
