Hair, Hare, and Hope!

Today was hair day for Miss A. She had her cutie hair turban.Pinned bantu knots with twists on the sides. I love bantu knots but they never last very long now that her hair is longer. So this time I tried using mini bobby pins (which I've been looking for for months and finally found some) so we will see how it holds up!
What a beautiful little head!

Then we took a trip to the Mall to visit the Easter Bunny! Not sure why JT isn't smiling in the pics because he was SUPER excited to see the Bunny!
Even got some cool masks out of the deal!
Do you see what I did below??? Another fun find from Pintrest... A fancy filing system to keep your counter clean (and by fancy I mean file folders and a dish drying rack)! If you've been to our house, you've probably noticed our counter is a disaster! Papers, mail, bills, handouts, flyers, etc. pile up quite rapidly. I've tried numerous ways to try to keep it under control with a big FAIL after a couple days. Seriously I'm not sure what's wrong with me but I cannot keep it clean! Having a nice big kitchen with a lot of counter space apparently is a bad thing, just more room to pile! And so I'm hoping this is the answer (positive thinking right!). But this time I actually have a plan (my last attempt was a rubbermaid to throw everything in to contain the pile...big FAIL)... so my files are labeled: incoming (aka new mail and crap that doesn't have a home yet), pay/do, keep, Jared (for his crap), gift cards/coupons, memories (for those things that I'm not ready to throw, things to put in scrapbooks etc), and file (for stuff that needs to be filed in the real files in the basement (aka but rubbermaid full of papers to keep). I've got a spot for pens, I added a notebook for our menu planning stuff, and a couple other things that I need to get done.
Our counter is cleaner than its ever been! The pile left next to it is my TO DO pile and hopefully will be gone in a day or two.
So anyone wanna take bets on how long it will last? I'm hopeful that this will help or at least get us through surgery etc. and it looks cute! And the bonus, if it doesn't work out, then we have a new dish drying rack!
