Maddie turned Grandma's Hair Purple....

On our last day in Tucson, Maddie and Grandma Dotty had some serious bonding moments. Andy and I packed and just let them be all day long. If Maddie asked for something, Grandma Dotty gave it to her... it worked well in Madeline's eyes! They started off the day finger painting and I noticed that Maddie was showing her controlling side by making Grandma observe rather than participate! I can't tell if she thinks that she's a teacher or if it's the need for a sense of order in her life. They were both having fun though as Maddie narrated a story for every single one of her pictures with the reoccurring theme of rainbows!

Now, what I'm about to tell you in slightly hilarious, but you must know that I asked permission to tell the story and post the pictures. The bottom line is that Maddie turned Grandma Dotty's hair purple. About a year ago, mom decided to let her go grey... actually hit had been grey but she was exposing it to the world! We went to the store and bought this beautiful dark blond color.... Maddie wanted to buy pink, but we talked her out of it. Maddie wore gloves and we worked together in squeezing the color on Grandma's hair and mixing it in well. We followed the directions to a "T" - I promise! After 25 minutes of waiting, then rinsing, Grandma Dotty came downstairs to show off her color (note: she's waiting for her new glasses to come in and can't really see what color it is herself). Let's just say that Maddie could not have been more pleased with herself! She had gotten her way after all!!!!!!! Shades of purple and pink will rule the world if she has her way!!

It provided all of us with a good chuckle and we had to live mom in Tucson for her to fix her own hair. Bless mom's heart though, she proudly took us to the airport with her purple hair and strutted her stuff so as not to hurt Maddie's feelings. Now that's brave! :)

Thanks for a great Tucson Trip mom - Grandma Dotty! Baking cakes, eating icing, going for walks in the wash, swimming, and having a girl's night were the most fun of all.

Hope you can fix your hair....
