Swingin' Good Times

I like swings. Hallie likes swings. Sadly, for me, there are only Hallie sized swings at this park.

 

 

 

 

Snip Snip!

I really should have taken a "before and after" shot, but anyway, I trimmed Hallie's bangs for the first time a few weeks ago. Kinda scruffy looking here-then again, that's pretty normal for Hallie. Oh well. She seemed pleased enough with it.
