You Put WHAT in your Hair??



I could certainly imagine the stares and funny faces that Destinee's classmates would give her if when asked how she got her hair so nice and curly (since it's like a pancake otherwise) and she proudly told them: "Egg Whites, isn't it pretty?" Well I told a few people about this and some had said that they had already heard about it but never wanted to try it....but you know me..I'm just that adventurous!! Anyway, I bought a carton of those Egg Beaters and poured away and what do you know it worked BEAUTIFULLY!! So this was SO simple and very nice for a fancy do when nothing else will work on her hair!! Then it's just a simple Corkscrew Twist for the back!! She had just fallen right before I took this picture so she certainly doesn't look too happy to have her picture taken, but oh well, the price of beauty, right!!??

Criss-Cross'll make you Jump Jump!!




Sorry about the bad band joke there....anyway this was a fun style to figure out that I could do on shorter hair...and then I decided to jazz it up with the ribbons at the end to match her shirt!!

Knotty Times




So does every good red-blooded American woman remember the Topsy-Tail from when they were young...I know I sure do and LOVED it...you can still find them a few places on E-bay but the company that did make them stopped making them. And so this was done with just a rat tail comb for in the middle and then you flip it under yourself!! Then with the leftover hair I just flipped it into an upside topsy tail ponytail (flip the hair up through the ponytail instead of down.)

Hairballs and Accessories

So now what maybe some of you read through all that mumbo-jumbo for, since I've been talking about it forever and have never shown the "goods".......these are all hairdos that I saw on these talented ladies' sites that are on my blog that seem to dedicate ALOT of their time to doing their beautiful daughters' hair...so yes I copied them but I think I did a decent job on some of them because Destinee's hair is QUITE a bit shorter than any of these girls, so I was adapting it for the shorties in our family!! ;) Hope you like!!

Cheese Balls for the CheeseHeads


Okay, does anybody remember Planters Cheese Balls? Oh my goodness what a guilty pleasure those were to me as a kid, so imagine our surprise when we happen across some at the Costco in Seoul...but it's a keg size (just used as a comparison, not from experience!!) bucket of them and they are $10. So Chris being the good, healthy father that he is keeps telling us No, but I want my kids to taste some of the goodness that is a Cheese Ball. So we found these at the Ball Museum right as you exit for $1 (1000 won), what a great place!! Cool ball thingys and CHEESE BALLS to boot!! It's heaven in a bag!!

Magnetic Kinetic




THEN..... I know you're probably bored to death about now but hang on we're almost done, this was a whole wall with magnetic little pieces that you could build your own track on the wall and see where it went!! And the last picture is a place where you could put all the wooden pieces (imagine those big wooden blocks you used to build with) and make once again your own masterpiece of motion!! So overall a very cool place to visit!! Definitely pricey, but I think worth it for all the fun and learning that the kids receive there!!

Steps With No Feet!!

Here is one of the DIY with steps this time...I didn't want to post it because of my silly dialog in the back...it didn't get the point across but I was just trying to especially make this video for my mom because she's been a teacher all her life and so she's always teaching the kids stuff about cause and effect..."If I put the ball in the hole, where does it go??" And so I was just saying that Kyle was learning to watch where the ball went!! So please disregard my jibber-jabber!!
