grab it and link up your random musings!
1. fighting back the chuckles.
my children are 16 months apart. hunter is at least 16 lbs heavier than sage. hunter is more than twice her size. so, you can imagine that when a grown woman asked if they were twins it was all i could do not to laugh as i replied, "no. she is 2 months and he is 18 months." her response: "oh, i have twins so that's why i wondered." what in the whole wide world was she thinking?! i mean, if a five year old asked that question i could understand why... but a grown woman who has twins herself?
2. cutting off the curls.
this weekend we said goodbye to hunter's curls and hello to a little boy... it's been a long time coming. i managed to not shed a single tear while we were at "sports clips." i boo hooed on the way home. i am not too excited about the haircut... hunter moved around a lot so i didn't expect it to be perfect. but, the end result is monkish. he looks like a monk. poor thing. at least it will grow. i want to go back and get it fixed, however, i think at this point it's beyond repair. only time will heal.
3. death to dye.
why do drug companies insist on making children's medication with red dye? or any color for that matter? the dye can't be good for the littles or their clothes. i'm grateful for the dye-free varieties, but usually the stores run out of those first. and with the plethora of recalls lately, you can't be choosey. so, i was left to buy bright red cherry triaminic. and this is how it went down:
4. to end on a cute note.

this adorable headband is made by the lovely anna from "in honor of design."

that made me laugh that woman's comment!!! Jade is beautiful and I hope you saved some of Hunter's curls.
Did she really say that? hahahah....That is so strange:)...Hunter looks cute...He is a big boy now after his first hair cut!!!....Sage looks like a little princess with this cute headband:)
Hope you had a relaxing weekend,sweetie and have a great Monday morning:)
Your babies are so adorable! Mine older two are 16 months apart. I remember first haircuts. I think I cried!
Twins??? That's hilarious! Adults can say the darndest things too...not just the kids! haha
Christian's hair is starting to get mulletacious so a haircut is in order soon I'm sure...but I'm with you-those curls are so cute!
Have a great Monday!
twins? wow, that's hilarious!
I love the photos this week, Sage is beautiful!
You take amazing pictures. Cute kids! =)
AWWW this is full of cute babies! :)
Love, Makay
I totally understand the hair cut! Mine looked like he was straight out of bootcamp when he got his first one. Sad day! Hunter is still adorable, though. :) And I love those sweet Sagey cheeks!
SAGE is so adorable!!!! Gah!!! Love that IHOD headband!
I dont have kids yet, but that doesn't make sense that childrens medication has dye in it. He looks too cute though ;)
<333
Oh boy...was the woman wearing glasses? Maybe she forgot them! Too funny!
Emily used to have the cutest curls...but once she started getting haircuts...they just didn't come back. It's just a wavy mess now, haha! Hunter's adorable no matter how his hair looks :) It does grow back so fast, though! Alex is always getting his hair cut!
Love Sage's headband! I will need to check those out! ADORABLE! :)
Oh, those first haircuts for little boys are so tough, but it's a part of the "growing up" process. But, they do take on such a more grown up look and it does tear at your heart. My little Grandson went through it so too long ago and I could hardly stand it. Can't believe how Sage has grown and isn't it amazing at folks comments? Sometimes we just have to scratch our heads. :o) A wonderful week to you!
I hate to tell you this, but Sport Clips (atleast 'round our parts) does hack jobs for every hair cut they do. Drew one time got his hair cut there a few days before a wedding we were going to... I thought he was going to cry... it was THAT bad.
And for what it's worth, I don't think Hunter looks like a Monk... I can't tell that it's a bad hair cut from the pictures. Have you seen Tim Tebow's new haircut? THAT looks like a monk :)
I don't even know why I'm surprised to hear dumb comments like that - I think I give people way too much credit. LOL
I think Hunter looks cute, but it made me laugh when you said he looks like a monk. :)
Good morning! Your 'twins' are adorable~ and I'm with you~ what an idiotic question! Hunter looks adorable. I am never happy when Remy gets his hair cut for a few days after... I think boys just need a while to grow into it each time. And as for the medicine, it always amazes me that the dye-free kind costs more. They charge more to leave out an ingredient... not right. I hope you have a great day!
Your little ones are so adorable. Awwee! His curls are gone :( As for the twin thing. That's happened with Zeke and Lydi. Just because they are in a double stroller doesn't mean they are twins.
Thanks for sharing all these beautiful pictures

Your kids are so cute! I'm gonna be so sad when we start giving Stephen the uniform buzz cut. He is the only boy with curls. Hopefully baby 9 will have a curl to his hair.
Sage is just ADORABLE!!! What a sweet, precious little girl!
That is very strange about the woman's comment. lol. Hope you had a good weekend, dear :)
I cried the first time we cut Keegan's hair. I waited as long as possible to do it. I'm about to cry again tomorrow - his first day of PreK. UGH.
The pictures are adorable. Your kids are precious!
I still get asked that about my 22 month apart girls and I would laugh too at the ones that would see Actress clearly walking beside the stroller and Model in the stroller with feet not big enough to walk and ask if they were twins. Baaa Haaa
He is cute hair cut or not...I know you will miss the curls. I missed my little guys too when we finally cut it.
Gorgeous picture of Sage. Love it in black and white.
that woman cracks me up...i wonder if she felt silly afterward? haha
I know, I know, odd. Just the other day someone asked me if Hannah and Samuel were twins. And I was like, "come on -- they're 13 years apart!!" (just kidding. really. I'm kidding.)
My sister and I grew up with everyone thinking we were twins. She's 2.5 years younger than me. I'll be her age now. :)
Love the haircut. He looks cute.
And, yes, I'm the one that messed up my MckLinky entry. I'm admitting it. Apparently, you CANNOT use quotation marks. So my clever little entry now looks like a big fail. Oh well, live and learn.
Have a great Monday!

Hahahah...What a crazy question! I would have never thought, ever that they might be twins. The difference in size just says it all.
I love those curls...Awww...So sweet. Cute haircut too. I would have had to cut them off as well because I am not into the boys with long hair fashion statement.
Sage is beautiful!
The lady with twins must have been in a sleep deprived state OR high. Either way that was too funny.
I hope you saved some of his hair. Those were precious little curls. That first cut is brutal. It really changes the way they look!
Twins?!?! No way. They're both adorable! Love the pics!
Twins, Really ?!?! The saddest part is that she has twins, lol. Hunter has such big beautiful eyes and his haircut is very cute. Sage is precious, I love her headband, off to find one for Madison.
That woman has lost her mind...wow. She must have been having a bad day. Or since she has twins she's stressed, can't see straight! heehee!
Your babies are adorable...love the pic of the dirty medicine face!!
And the bow on little miss is so cute!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARISSA! & sage is so gorgeous!
Love the curls and all the pics this week! I almost wish we could cut Lily's hair, she has that mullet when her hair is down, looks like I neglected her or something!
That's crazy she thought they were twins!! Maybe when they're older, but now?!?! I've been asked if my kids are wearing the same size clothes since Lily is teeny tiny and Ben is a big guy (12 lbs 12 oz at 1 1/2 months). He's in 3-6, she's in 12-18, no where near the same size!
Have a great week, btw, you look GORGEOUS in all of the pics from last week. Whatever you've been doing, it's working cause you look fab! ;)
omgoodness...I remember cutting those curls off my boy...it was a serious bigboy day in our lives...I missed them so...some come back, his didn't :(
Thanks for such a wonderfully cute, uplifting MM!!
you have me cracking up here! I guess twins was the death of her brain! Hunter's hair isn't that bad.. with that sweet face he could have it cute any way and oh my, Sage is adorable! Happy Birthday too! :)
twins? That is Ha-larious....um when you told that story it reminded me of the movie Twins with Arnold Swartznegger...bahahahah
Awwww look at Hunter and his big boy haircut! I cried like a baby when we had Kelcee's hair trimmed for the first time and that was last year LOL...
He looks cute as always
OMG about kids meds with dye I always try to get dye free to but no luck lately and the end result is that in your pic and all over me and clothes LOL
Sage is beyond presh Carissa and that hairband is beyond cuteness
Glad you are doing well!!
xoxo
Summer
adorable pictures! sage is a doll!
Ah ha ha...silly lady! You're babies are so stinking cute! I hope things are going well for you! I've been keeping you in my prayers and I hope that God is giving you a peace about your body. You're beautiful!
and that twins comment is too funny! i can't believe she has twins herself!
What was that poor woman thinking?
I love a boy in curls, but Hunter looks adorable no matter what!
Sage is getting so big! She's gorgeous!
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday and your chillin's are SUPER cute! Love you!
Oh my goodness, twins? I can't believe that! Some people. :D Awww... I LOVE that picture of Sage. Just precious. :)
Happy Monday, Carissa!!

That lady's comment to you is just silly!
I love the picture of Sage, so sweet and that one of Hunter and the red dye, cracks me up! :)
I am just cracking up at that woman's comment! So funny! Hunter looks oh so cute and Sage is just adorable :)
Oh, the pictures are so cute. Don't think the cut looks so bad. Remember it will grow out and then you can try someone else.
Have a very happy day and enjoy your birthday. Remember well how excited we were to get to visit our sweet first born granddaughter at the hospital.
Love you ,
Grandma
I love the pictures, and I love Sage's headband. Adorable. :)
And, really...twins? Crazy woman.
I love the curls ;) Maybe Sage will get really long and curly hair :) They both look so adorable in the pictures, however, I would never get the impression that they are twins ;)
Blessings,
Kate
Sage looks beautiful - and Hunter is still adorable although I know how you feel... 2 of mine have curls and it's sad when they get cut off. :(
My two oldest daughters are 3.5 years apart, but look very similar (though drastically different in height) and I've been asked before if they are twins. Um??
16 months apart and she thoughT TWINS?! Maybe when they get older, but gosh, your LO is only 2 months!
Love Hunter's new 'do :) Stylin little man!
Sage... is gorgeous.
AWW.... Poor guy! He still looks adorable, it only hurts mommy's heart! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Shame on you for not mentioning it and celebrating you! :) You are one amazing woman!
Also, I would love some advice on how to get a button in my blog post with a link up- i want to do it, and read about a million tutorials, but I guess I'm an idiot! If you are wiling, I would love some help! :)
i think i have said this before.... but your babes are way too cute!!
hahaha OMG some people are so dense!!! I would have trouble holding back laughter if someone asked if my babes were twins!
He still looks cute without his curls!
That baby Sage is gonna be a heartbreaker!
I have always said I was not going to be one of those moms who sentimentally kept her little boy's hair long forever. But I have a feeling I may eat my words one day.
and by the way --
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
--should have put it in your Miscellany---I'm just saying :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Rachel
Girl! Get a frame and hang that sweet picture of Sage on your wall. It is stunning of little miss. And Hunter is looking like a big boy with his new haircut.
twins? some people should think before they
talk!
i'm a little sad about hunter's curls. i remember
how hard it was for me to make that cut.
they both are just too adorable.
oh, and happy birthday!!!!
Aww! Such cute and beautiful pictures! I always wonder why they had dyes to any medication too. I mean, I can't imagine that a red dye is necessary for one to feel better! :)~
TWINS??? People are crazy!
Your boy still looks handsome, even if the haircut is monkinsh, ha!
Sage is so pretty - just like her mama! :)
i laughed out loud when you called Hunter monkish...but after seeing the picture I have to say he is too adorable & the haircut looks good!
Thats hilarious that somebody with twins thought you had twins! This is my first time here and even I can see the difference!
Bye, bye, sweet curls! I hope you saved them! As for that precious baby girl - words are not enough!
aaw, his curls were so cute - but now he looks so handsome!
I did my post and completely forgot to link it! I had to laugh at the lady, WITH TWINS, who asked is they were twins. Wow! I love Hunter's new hair cute...such a little man. I am not a fan of cough syrup, especially cherry. I need to try the homemade kind that my friend uses.
The good thing about hair is that no matter how strange it turns out, it always grows back. I think your baby looks adorable with or without curls :)
And I must say.. I tried the whole wheat tortilla with havarti and pesto and spinach and tomatoes... yum yum yum yum yum!!!! That is my new favorite thing.
Adorable pictures, as always. :)
Hunter's haircut is too cute! We waited until just after my second son was born to get my oldest one's curls cut off too...and mine are 17 months apart! You should probably get used to people asking if they are twins. I get asked that at least once everytime we go somewhere, and mine are 6 and almost 5!
Your kids are absolutely adorable! Twins??? That's a hoot!
sorry i didn't get a chance to write a miscellany this week! i loved reading all of these about your adorable kids! :) i can't believe someone mistook them for twins, esp. a mom who already has twins, crazy!!
twins. love it!! we were asked once if we had quadruplets. lol. it is funny for an adult to ask. and it's SO hard to not laugh!!
love the picture of the hair cut. it's a change for sure when you look at your little BOY not baby. :)
and love the headband on that super sweet baby. she has beautiful eyes!
Twins?! Seriously?! I could maybe see that in a few years depending on how they both grow but not now. What in the world?!
LOVE his little grown haircut! I'm sure I would have bawled like a baby. Hopefully Sage will have those sweet curls too!
Aw, cute new hair cuts!
I can't believe someone asked if they were TWINS! HA! And Sage is SO beautiful, love that last pic
*sniff* by littlest brothers first hair cut was so hard...all that beautiful baby hair. But great to be entering a new stage of life, right?
