NOT on the agenda over break...

HAIRCUTS!  Chris was getting shaggy, but I figured I could put it off for a while.  Monday night, the kids were playing a board game.  He started crying because he landed on lose a turn, and he was SUPER tired.  I looked at him and asked, "Where did you cut your hair?"  "In the basement," was his reply.  Oh.  Joy.  I was laughing (it was NOT funny), because it was that or crying.  He seemed to think I was laughing because it WAS funny, and started laughing, too.  Aubree was hysterical.  I told them it really wasn't funny, and now I had to shave his head.  That turned the laughter to tears REAL quick!  As it was already past bedtime, I told him we'd deal with it in the morning, and off to bed he went.
Morning arrives, and everyone is feeling much better.  I told Nick that I had to cut it short, but he wouldn't be bald.  That appeased him.  I did a #3 on top, but it still isn't quite short enough.  Hopefully his hair will grow quickly during break so I can cut it again right before school and it will just look like a short haircut on purpose.


Before - doesn't look too bad, does it?  Oh, trust me - it's shorter underneath.



After - grow hair, grow as fast as you can!

Guess what will now have to be postponed until Nick has halfway decent hair?  Family pictures!  Since I had out the haircutting stuff, Chris got one, too.  He's been wanting to grow his hair out, but it's way too fluffy and crazy, so he got a long 8 on top, and he looks human again!
