April 24th started out as a normal day. We had woken up, watched a little tv,
eaten breakfast and I think Gavin had wanted to cut hearts out of
construction paper or something before we all went upstairs to get ready
for the day. I got the kids dressed and then quickly threw on clothes
and tried to get my teeth brushed before the screaming/crying
inevitably ensues whenever my children are alone. (honestly, most days
we don't make it through the two minute timer on my electric
toothbrush). This particular day I don't remember if I had managed to
brush my teeth or not, but nonetheless I was in the process of getting
ready (and I don't want to hear it from all you morning people about
getting ready at 6am to prevent this...) when the
house got eerily quiet...ALWAYS a bad sign!...so I went to investigate.
I found Gavin and Ellie on the corner stair with Gavin in the process of CUTTING ELLIE'S HAIR!!
I
had always assumed he would cut his own hair or when Ellie was a little
older she would cut her hair, but I had never thought that GAVIN would
cut ELLIE'S hair! Thank goodness I came before it got really bad. It's
actually hardly noticeable but I still had to document it.

| You can tell on the right side of the picture that her hair is shorter and doesn't flip out like on the left side. Yep, that's where Gavin cut it! She is still so stinkin' cute tho! |

I think moms are given "spidey sense" for these exact reasons! Good job mom! It could have gotten a lot worse!
haha, that is super great... also who wakes up at six? Crazy people, that is who.
So when my mom was two, I think, her twelve year old older brother also decided she needed a hair cut. Good thing pictures were scheduled for that day so the haircut is completely documented. Since the picture was in black and white, my grandma tried coloring her hair in with a pencil. From far away you can't tell, but up close it is pretty funny. At least Gavin wasn't twelve?
We had one like that. Shelby's hair was down to her waist. Keilie (age 7) decided she needed a butch. Took her from girl with enviable hair to "cancer patient." I hate it when that happened! I agree, still a cutie!
