Haircuts, Tractors and Roses

My 4 year old is having a birthday in 2 days.  He is SUCH a little farm guy!  Well, my brother had a steel pedal tractor sitting in his garage.  (Nowadays they make them plastic, so I was really pleased to see this one).  I asked him how much he wanted for it and he gave it to me free.  I took it home sand cleaned it up, with the intention to repaint it and give it to Seth for his birthday.  Turns out, it didn't even need the paint.  Here is the end result of a whole lot of scrubbing.

 

And of course we got him a John Deer cap to go along with his new toy.

 

 

 

 

Here's the pile of Q-tips I used to clean all the little crevices.

 

Getting tired of the rat's nest that was accumulating at the back of Courtney's head, I finally caved in and gave her a haircut.  No more pig tails for awhile, but I think it looks cute and she seems to like it.

 

Finally, a HUGE surprise from my husband.  he brought home a dozen roses for me.  He also, along with his cousin, made a VERY impressive Valentines supper for me and his cousin's wife.  Let's see...we had Beer and Brats Soup, beautifully seasoned and tenderized tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, asparagus along with cheesecake for dessert.  It was a very nice evening!
