Haircut

I was upstairs one day and I *thought* Cole and Bailee were watching a movie.  I came down a while later and the basement was a mess and the vacuum was out.  I thought it was a little odd but not too odd, since Cole likes to vacuum.  I started cleaning up and went in the pantry for something and found some hair.  Uh oh.  Immediately I knew Cole and cut Bailee's hair.  I asked him if he had and he mumbled something like only a little.  It looked like only a little so I cleaned it up and then asked Bailee to come here so I could inspect the damage.  She had her hair (which I might had had never been cut and was down to her butt!) in a side pony tail that day.  Well, most of it was gone!  Because it was in a side pony, one side was super short and the other side was super long still.  I started crying and told Cole he needed to come here now.  Well, he wouldn't come.  He was hiding and I figured it was because he knew he was in big trouble.  

This was all about the same time I was supposed to be leaving to get the big kids from school (I was tending my neighbors 2 kids this day).  I was so upset... I made the big kids walk home so I could take care of the mess at my house (which isn't a big deal -- the walk all the time when it is warm).  I also called Matt and told him he needed to come home from work NOW.  I didn't know what else to do. Well finally, Bailee told me where Cole was hiding.  To my surprise, when I found him hiding behind the couch, he had cut his hair too!

I was so upset about Bailee that I hadn't even notice he had cut most of his hair to his scalp!  AHHHH.  I found someone to fix Bailee's hair that night and we ended up having to cut off more than half of it to even it out.  So now it is a short little bob.  It is super cute... but I may have still cried the next few days when I got her ready :)

Cole's head had to be totally shaved so he has a buzz cut in the dead of winter.  Needless to say, all scissors in our house are now hidden.  I thought Cole was old enough to know not to do that... but apparently not.  He has now cut Brooke's hair, his hair, and Bailee's hair.  I sure hope we are done with haircuts!
