that vision thang - the hair disaster of the holidays

The Blossoms. Not mine.

Seems that my plan to grow out Elder's hair, get rid of the bangs and be able to pull her hair back into one single pony tail, was not the plan for her. While SiIL was watching the girls for us, while I was having fun playing Guitar Hero, the Elder and her Cuz decided to cut hair.

Elder couldn't see, so she chopped her bangs REALLY REALLY SHORT so she could see okay. And chopped a lock here or there on the side as well.

And Cuz cut her own, before lopping off a hank of Younger's hair in the back.

Result? An hour trip to the little kids hair salon today, and two girls with very short bangs and bobs. Not that Younger doesn't look adorable, mind. Hubby said what a cute little Vulcan cut, so you can see it didn't bother him at all to chop off the girls' long hair. But Elder's- well, there was only so much you could do with the buzz-length bangs she left to work with. The poor hairdresser was a bit beside herself, trying to fix the mess. She did the best she could, really, and it looks nice, considering. But my poor little Eldest has never had short hair before. I am still getting used to it.

I almost cried at all the long  hair on the Barbie bike seat and floor.
