and they want to come home)

Couldn't get him to smile for anything. He must be 11

The Good The Billie and the Ugly

This was Billie as I sent her off to school the first day of school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last weekend the kids went over to play with our cute little neighbor boys
(who are 3 and 5 and LOVE big kids).
They were playing in the back yard
while their parents were doing some yard work.
My darling Billie found a pair of safety scissors
and
played a little hair "art" on herself.

before

Of course I didn't notice right away because they came home
and jumped in the pool
and we headed to Red Lobster with wet hair!
~~~~~~~~~
As her hair dried it became abundantly clear that her bangs were not the same.
She did a number my little 9 year old!

Really at 9 I have to worry about safety scissors...nice!

after

And this is her "after" shot.
She was mortified that I wanted to document this.
It might come in handy some day for her.
This is after I have "fixed" it kind of.
There really is no "fix" for cut hair.
Thank Goodness she inherited my fast growing hair.
~~~~~
On the bright side,
her Teen Vogue says that ultra short bangs are in. Sweet!

Back to School 2009

Early in the morning on the first day of school

Taking our obligatory "by the front door" shots

Little reminders of summer imaginations (found in the pantry)

Evening swim to get out some wiggles

Do you hear it?
