It’s days like today that make me remember why I love Spring. Aubrey and Emma played outside all day long. Emma didn’t even bother to get dressed. She rode her bike and played in the yard in her nightgown until almost dark.
After lunch the girls started to get whiny and asked if they could come inside to watch TV. I was a woman on a mission today, cleaning out closets and organizing my desk, so in order to keep them outside (out of my way) and happy, I took a quilt and books outside for them to rest. The layout of our house is great for me to keep an eye on them while they are in the backyard, so I thought we had a great day.
The girls had some good, clean fun…and I got some good cleaning done.
So IMAGINE my shock and awe when Emma came inside this afternoon with bangs.
I scolded her several times this afternoon for cutting her own hair.
She apologized.
We moved on.
At bedtime tonight, I brought up Emma’s haircut again.
Me: Emma, is it nice to cut your own hair?
Emma: No, I’m sowwy Momma. Aubrey just cut it..
Me: WHAT? AUBREY CUT YOUR HAIR?
Aubrey collapsed on her bed in giggles.
Me: Did you cut her hair??
Aubrey: Yeah, I’m sorry Momma. I just cut mine a little bit.
I was mad, but I was trying not to laugh because Aubrey was finding herself a little too hilarious.
Emma: Yeah, Momma. My tummy was telling myself that her should stop, but I di’int know what to do.
I looked at Aubrey exasperated.
Me: Aubrey, you know you aren’t supposed to cut ANYONE’S hair. We’re going to deal with this tomorrow.
Aubrey: (still laughing) Momma. It’s sorta funny…
I ran out of the room before I could reward her bad behavior with a laugh.
Don’t forget about the Blog Giveaway!
Tristan has given himself a hair cut a few times but hes a boys so I just get to shave his head! Looks like Aubs and Em had lots of fun resting outside…Im a little shocked to see them laying down like they were all ready for bed and they actually have clothes on!!!!
oh my. I can't believe Aubrey cut Emma's hair and her hair AGAIN! You need to hide those scissors!
Sara! You know my kids too well! Emma didn't have on any underwear and Aubrey BEGGED me to let her take off her dress!!! HEEHEE!
Ok… this is a little weird. SDS's tummy tells her stuff too!??? I started thinking the other day, when her tummy told her to jump on the bed during naptime, that maybe she was a little touched- perhaps not totally normal in the behavior – personality department. You have no idea how much better I feel knowing that another child has a tummy that speaks to her… although, at least Emma's tummy seems to be a good tummy. SDS's is bound and determined to get her in trouble.
Paige that's funny! Aubrey's tummy used to tell her the same thing. I've tried to teach them about listening to their conscience by explaining to them if something makes their tummy feel funny they shouldn't do it! It's amazing the places they take that!
that is hilarious! The one good thing is that Emma is listening to her conscience! Too bad Aubrey didn't listen to Emma's conscience!
Wish I had spent the day lounging on the quilt with the girls! That looks like a perfect day! And if a few bangs is what it took for Momma to get a little cleaning then well….they will grow out!
LOL
