Long Weekend Happpenings

I finally took the plunge and went back to my roots today.  Blonde is gone (for now). It is gonna take some getting used to.  My kids want their mom back. Blonde mom.
What completely freaked me out is how much my sister and and I look alike now. here is KK:
My friend Grant is an amazing hairdresser and we had fun de-blonding. First my hair had to be "filled", which means I was Ronald McDonald red for a bit.   My husband left at his point a bit terrified:
 Then I rocked the unicorn... and finally the brown went on while and I did my phone biz  like a 80's shoulder padded bi-atch in panty hose and sneakers! "what you need?... I'm on that! Just talk louder cause I don't want to get dye on my phone."
And then there was brunette.
Besides that, we had fire season begin on Saturday accompanied by lots of deep thoughts:
...and a massive let down.   My husband and I bailed Sunday morning on this: We have done it a couple years now,  but I have been so busy with work I just wasn't able to train like I should have.  f-u work and your time consuming powers!   I have yet to complete my Agate Wall for you folks because of it.
Part of me still wanted to do it to see if I could, but my better judgment (aka my husband) talked me down and made me realize I don't need an injury right now.
I also realized these guys are getting way too big:
 I have been informed that I am making them these costumes for Halloween. Ninjago and Beyblades. With weapons.
ugh, and I refuse to let my 7 year old out of the house in a half shirt... seriously?
anyone else have Beyblade issues?
and don't get me started on the anime eyes...
