Mud anyone?

Took the kids 4WDriving, despite them having colds, which I felt a little bit guilty about. Michaela had a great time! Direct quotes: "Faster, Daddy, FASTER!" and "Bumps, bumps, big bumps!!" She literally cried on the way home. "I don't want to go home, more four wheel driving!" Matthew on the other hand, wore his usual serious expression, taking it in, but not quite sure about it all.

Conditions were amazing and the mud was out of this world. We had an amazing time. I got behind the wheel too. Too good not to. Got the car a little dirty!

As a true testament to how well carseats hug your babies in, this is what ours looked like as we tore it up amongst the wicked terrain:

Today was a quieter day. Aside from washing the car, which took Dave most of the day, Michaela broke her tiara and wanted to make a new crown:

Really, she was just stoked to use scissors. It think it entertained her for a solid half hour just cutting little snips into that red paper.

Here is a photo of Matty's new haircut. Aside from a little bit around one of the ears that I missed, its alot shorter. The curls are gone, but I didn't shed a tear like I thought I would.
