Back-to-School

Hello y’all! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I finished reading my new book, earning myself some blogging time today. ;)

Summer break has officially ended for Abby. And me, too! Today’s Abby’s first day back in school. Most schools here will start classes on the 3rd week of this month. Abby’s still going to the same school and is now in pre-K! Woohoo!

In preparation for her return to school, we brought Abby to her favorite salon for a haircut two weeks ago, even though Hubby would very much prefer we keep Abby’s tresses long. :P Yeah, I liked Abby’s hair, too, the longest she’s had it ever. But it’s just too hot and I don’t really know a lot of hairstyling tricks. I desperately need to learn how to braid! And ever since I had my hair cut, Abby wanted to have her hair cut, too. So that’s two-to-one. Sorry na lang kay asawa. :D If there’s one thing we agreed on, it’s NO BANGS. I didn’t take Abby’s side this time. Hee hee!


Buh-bye several inches of hair!


Almost done! Abby started getting fidgety towards the end of her haircut session.


Tadah! She looks healthier, doesn’t she? And her hair is so much easier to manage now. Yey me! :D


Here’s another pic of Abby in her new do. :D

The salon, Snip-its, has its own cartoon characters/mascots, of which two are called The Clipette Sisters…

They even sell dolls, which Hubby thinks look a bit bastos hilarious…

You have to admit, it kinda does. Eeeew!

Abby’s first day was a breeze, not that I was expecting a repeat of last year’s first day jitters. She had a very good day and her teachers said she was very helpful with the new kids. I couldn’t resist not taking pictures this morning. So humor me…


New lunch bag. :) I’m glad she picked Minnie over the Disney Princesses. I guess that’s what Disneyland does. Hee hee!


Abby was in a good mood this morning, having completed a full 10-hours of sleep. :D


I’m pleased with how I fixed her hair. She was, too…and that’s all that matters! Hee hee!

This was Abby on her first day last year…


Gosh how she’s grown!

I was excited to get to Abby’s school because I would finally be able to get my hands on her Spring Portrait.  It was taken in Abby’s school a few weeks before summer break.

*Sigh* What did I ever do to deserve such a dazzlingly beautiful daughter? Thank you, God! :)

Have a most wonderful week ahead! Cheers!
