On December 21st, we quickly had to leave church after I spotted something crawling in Paige's hair. We quickly figured out that it was lice, and all four kiddos had it! We have no clue how that came about, but it was definitely a crazy day. We came home and did a couple different treatments: soaking the hair in listerine for an hour, followed by a rinse, then a two hour soak in vinegar. I went ahead and treated my hair as well just in case. All this was followed by a bunch of combing, although I will admit that almost everything just rinsed right out after the soaking!
Clayton didn't seem to mind having to have it done at all. A soak and movie time? He'd probably volunteer again! (Just kidding, but maybe only slightly.)
Cheyenne certainly did not like having to drench her hair, but once it was over, she tolerated the waiting very patiently!
Shelby did not like anything to do with it. The drenching, the soaking, the waiting, the washing, and certainly the combing were all such terrible struggles for our youngest munchkin. She wanted her daddy and sat in his lap for a while!
Paige didn't seem to mind much either. She was mostly giggles and smiles with her pink shower cap on!

Oh, and I wish I'd taken a picture of the monstrous pile of laundry that had to be washed. Every single sheet and blanket and pillow and animal had to be washed! It was a ton of work, but thankfully it was easy.
