I left the house for errands (Dad was home) and came home to one shaved boy and another soon-to be-seven-year-old missing about 3 inches of hair. And with newly cut bangs.
Boy, does big sister have a lot of nerve.
And a pretty good hand at hair cutting. I would have been upset if she hadn’t have done such a cute job!
PS–it was my 13 year old daughter who cut the hair–not the daughter pictured. Just to clarify. :) And Dad was home and gave his permission.

I think it might be cheaper to take Gracie to the Hair Cuttery. You know….versus flying my daughter to UT to cut her hair. Although, I’m sure she wouldn’t complain one bit!

Oh good I am glad permission was given but thanks for the suspense. I was starting to panic and thinking I should hide all my scissors haha!

Dad said it was OK? That’s reason enough to never leave the kids alone with him again. :-)
Good thing they turned out so cute!

Holy moly! I’d like to know how much trouble DAD is in for giving Big Sister permission. Why do our husbands do stuff like that? lol On the plus side, the kids are adorable!

What a beautiful daughter, obviously she has a career ahead of her in hair design.
[Reply]
Ouch! That must have stung at first sight, but at least she did do a really go job. You have two adorable kiddos.

It was quite a shocker, but I rally do like the cuts! :)
[Reply]
I don’t know who would have gotten more wrath….daughter for doing it or dad for saying yes. Glad the “cuts” all worked out.

So am I!! I realize it could have been much, much worse. And, believe me, if the cuts hadn’t worked out, I would have been mad!
[Reply]
Wait – Dad gave the ok? Even though it looks adorable, he’d get the silent treatment for days over a hair cut!!!

Yep, Dad gave the ok! Funny thing is, I probably would have said yes, too, if I had been home. AND i would have been standing over her shoulder helping her the whole way. We do all of our haircuts at home, so she’s seen plenty of haircuts done. :)

She did do a really good job. Impressive.

If she hadn’t done a good job, there would be hell to pay. Especially with Reese’s birthday coming tomorrow. Wouldn’t it just figure to have her hair butchered just before birthday pictures?
[Reply]
Lol oh my! Did she shave his head or was that what you had to do it after she was done?

No, she shaved his head. Now, we had talked about shaving his hair. His hair does not do well when it gets long. She did it a little shorter than I usually do it, but I have no problem with it. It will be long enough again in a week’s time!
[Reply]
OK, I admit, I was thinking I was gonna come over here and there would be pictures of disaster. And still, she’s 13? I’m surprised and impressed. She’ll be the hair stylist to the stars someday, I tell ya!

LOL how funny is that! I visited your blog earlier and now you’re two new posts ahead. I just entered my Bloggography entry. Was busy today but I try not to miss the challenges.
As to the hair! Omigosh ~ it finally happened to your family! I must say I wouldn’t have noticed your daughter’s chopped hair ~ which means it was a decent haircut! It was tons worse when my own kid cut her own bangs! Rite of passage :)

I’ve been busy today. In fact, I have just as much coming up, Busy, busy. As far as the hair, this same daughter cut her own hair when she was 4. And it has definitely happened since then. This time was different, though, because she actually did it on purpose, with Dad’s permission. It was just a big surprise to me.

I try to keep scissors hidden in my house for this very reason. My kids always end up giving each other hair cuts. At least you can just shave the boys! The girls are much more difficult to “fix” (although you daughter’s hair looks great. Lucky girl).

My oldest (who is 13 now) found scissors at a friend’s house and cut her hair…bad! This time it was a completely different story. She cut their hair on purpose. It was just a surprise to me (she did check with Dad first though!)

Dad gave the okay? I would die if my 13 year old decided to cut her sibling’s hair. Pretty sure my husband would say, no, but maybe I should make sure…
