In March, Elizabeth had her second orchestra concert of her sixth grade year.  She was so excited, and, as she is reaching puberty, she wanted to look her very best for the performance.  Having been told by her friends that she would look good in loose ringlets – and the style being popular at the time with the girls around here – Elizabeth decided she wanted to give them a try for the concert.  Little did she know that it would take over an hour to complete as she has insanely thick hair.  Being the cool mom that I am, I assisted her in this endeavor, but, though she loved the outcome, she has decided that it's just not worth the effort.  However, she was glad she tried it once just so she could see what it looks like.  What do you think?  Was it worth it?

As soon as we were finished, we rushed her down for roll call – we were running a bit late due to the amount of time above hairstyle took – and I returned to get the family for the concert.  Below is the video for any grandparents who missed it and would like to see/listen to it.  Sorry for the poor quality.  In true Briggs fashion, we were late and had to stand by the entrance.  Unfortunately, Elizabeth was clear on the other side of the gym.  Also, I was wrestling two boys while filming.
