Snip snip

...snip...snip...snip...
This is the sound that strikes terror into the hearts of mothers around the world. OK, maybe not terror, but it's not good. I was coming down the stairs after putting away laundry when I heard that horrible sound, and there sat Karina just snipping away at her hair as casual as could be! I couldn't even speak when I saw her. I was actually mute for 5 or 10 seconds before blurting out in a very high voice, "What are you doing?!?!?"
I later asked her why she cut her hair and her response was "I don't know." I really think she doesn't. The very next morning we took a trip to visit our hairdresser, Brooke. She and Karina made a deal...no more self hair cuts in exchange for a purple Barbie ring with grape lip balm and Brooke was kind enough to give Karina these fabulous curls!

Where are the before the fix up pictures? This is a reality that I am scaired to death of. I pray and hope Emma leaves her hair (and that of her siblings) alone. We have had the talk already about who cuts hair (Jodi) and why we don't. When I started reading this post...I felt my heart skipping a beat....I feel for you. I would have been mute for 5-10 seconds also! She looks very cute with her curls though:)

Her hair looks cute! At least it was long enough for her to have shoulder length hair. Hannah decide to take the chunks right out of top about 1 inch from her scalp. :P Oh well. Love ya Stacie

I have to say it could've been much worse and if you didn't show me, I never would've known. She did a good job of hiding it! (Brooke, that is) WE LOVE BROOKE!

I couldn't bring myself to do before pics! There's one chunk that you can't see where it's cut about 1/2 inch from her scalp, it's right abover her right ear, but under another layer of hair, so as long as we don't pull it back, you can't tell!
