thank you Becky

Thanks Becky for teaching me how to braid. Because of the water shortage and the fact that the city has not pumped water down to our street since we have moved here, we only wash hair a couple of times a week. We have one water tank on the ground and it pumps water up to the tank on the roof. The city usually pumps water into a neighborhood once a week or so, but we have not gotten any. When you run out of water you can call a water truck and pay him to fill your tanks, so we have done that once. Of course it is more expensive then city water, no cleaner, and a lot more of a hassle, but o-well. anyway back to my point, since to fill up the bath tub is a lot of water, we have only been bathing the kids every few days. (Their hands, feet, and face of course have to be washed every night, it is so dirty here). But when they get out of the tub, they get to watch one movie at least 45 min. long so I have time to braid there hair tight is possible. It will usually last two or three days and then I can take it down and it is curly the last day before a bath. This is our new routine and it seems to work well. Addie loves it because it means i only brush her hair once every few days. Also i am guessing it is because the air is so dry but there is a lot of static and if there hair is not pulled up it is crazy with lots of tangles and lots of tears trying to brush it out.
