Abigail has been asking to color her hair a wild color for months now, probably since last fall. We told her repeatedly that she could do it in summer. Today, we picked up a box of temporary plum hair coloring, and she and Isabella now have adorable pink-purple hair. It should wash out in 8-10 shampoos, but they are hoping that it lasts a long, long time.

Okay, the real reason we picked up the hair coloring is I have been wanting to put purple streaks in my hair for a year now, but kept putting off buying the box because it's so not how other people see me and I didn't want to freak out some of the people I know around town, plus I was having a hard time visualizing what it would look like. Since the girls wanted to do this too, it seemed like a perfect time to indulge my desire without looking too totally freaky. I absolutely love it, and definately will be doing this again. To heck with other people's opinions, this is fun.
