Playtime Cut Short!





So I took Harrison on a bike ride while Ava and Regan were upstairs playing happily. My mom and my sister were just downstairs doing whatever and I told them we'd be back in a half hour. No sooner had Harry and I walked in the gate, my mom said "Stay there". She ran in and came out with Suzy holding Regan awaiting my reaction. We all were in complete shock and laughed our heads off....can anyone say MULLET?

This is how it all went down: I guess after a while my mom decided to run upstairs and check on the girls who were unusually quiet. The bathroom door was locked and Ava REFUSED to open it. My mom got a pin, opened the door and beheld brown locks covering the ground and gasped...the rest is history. Ava said that Regan couldn't see because her hair was covering her eyes. Oh she'll be able to see just fine without aid of any ribbon or pigtails for literally MONTHS. Perhaps it is my white trash roots, and perhaps when I'm getting her ready for church this will hit me harder but I can't stop smilling and since I pulled this trick on my cousin when I was 4, I guess I just expected it to happen at some point with daughters. I'm so bummed Regan was in such a foul mood when I was trying to get her picture. It was right before naptime and she wouldn't smile. Maybe she knows more than she lets on. Someone has a very promising career in her future don't you think?

I love Ava's glamour pose, it looks like she's so proud of her haircutting skillz!! Too funny!! Kapree did it on her own hair, I just left it like that and let it grow out. It must be a childhood rite of passage!

Oh my gosh I was just talking about kids cutting their hair. I think I would die if Kylah did that! Reagan totally pulls off the white trash looks so well!

Yes, I will say that her new mullet is pretty awesome...I live in the midwest where the mullet is an art form...but I can't even tell you how I am NOT looking forward to this event in my house. I cut my own bangs all the time as a child and hope that my girls can just learn from my mistakes.

That little Ava does look so proud of her masterpiece. Your girls are so cute...mullets and all.

Holy crap, that is short! Not much you can do to cover/fix that one, huh?

When are you coming home?!?

Sorry, but I'm laughing at the pictures. We've been there, done that several times. Not much more to do than laugh it off.

Jill that is absolutely hilarious! I can honestly say and I knock on wood at the same time that my girls have never done that! she still looks cute and it's more of a mohawk that a mullet. She is adorable! I understand about naptime and pictures.

Kayte has done this SEVERAL times. I wish I could say that they grow out of it...who knows-having a hair dresser in the family isn't really a bad thing!

Ava is the proud little beautician!!! holey cow that's definately one for the books!!! Until I really looked and read it, I thought Regan just had her bangs pulled back! FUNny stuff!!! Hey, there are always hats:) That's what my mama made me wear the first four years of my life b/c I had a big bald spot on top of my head! Seriously love it!
