Time for a Haircut

Michela's hair has been getting so long!  She has needed a haircut for quite some time now.  We finally scheduled her an appointment with our friend Laura.  She took off about 6 inches and had some long layers put in it.  So much easier for me to put into a pony tail now.

 While we were there I made Chase jump in the chair for a quick cut too.

Thanks so much Laura, you are the best!!!

Chopped

So I've been toying with the idea of getting my hair cut into a bob for quite a while now.  I love the look of a cute bob, but Mike doesn't like my hair too short so I've just been keeping it long.  Well it had been about 6 months since my last cut and my hair was looking so blah and in need of some serious attention.  My wonderful friend and former neighbor helped me out with the cutting part.  We finally decided on a bob that was longer in the front and shorter in the back.  It turned out so cute!  I finally have an actual hairstyle.  And it is surprisingly easy to do every morning, this is one of the major factors for me when it comes to hair.  Here are a couple of pictures of me in my new do.  My new haircut makes me feel like Spring has finally come, now if only the weather would agree with me.  :)

Disaster Strikes!

So yesterday I was making dinner and Michela came in from playing outside. Aria was playing on the stairs and Michela went over to say hi to her. Michela asked me, "Mom, did Aria get her haircut?" My heart sank and I said, "No, why do you ask?" Michela looked at me and replied, "because one side of her hair is shorter." I was so afraid to go and look at her hair and see what had been done. I looked at Aria and didn't notice anything at first until I turned her head and saw that the right side of her hair was almost all gone. Chase walked in right then and when he saw the look on my face the guilt exploded all over his face and he hung his head. I immediately sent him to his room, as punishment and for his safety as well. I fingered Aria's pretty little curls on the other side of her head and burst into tears. I am not kidding you when I say that I sobbed. I don't know why it hurt me so much to see her hair butchered but it killed me. I think Michela thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown.

What would posess Chase to cut his baby sister's hair??!!! He said he didn't think he would get in trouble. What??!! It wouldn't be all that bad, except for the fact that we are supposed to take family pictures next week. Now I don't know if I even want to take them, because I don't think I want to see this haircut up on my wall for the next 3 years! Don't get me wrong, she's still so darn cute, but she's just doesn't look like the same little Aria to me. I know it's only hair and it will grow back some day (or year) but it breaks my heart to think that those cute little curls that flipped up on her shoulders will probably never come back.

Here are the pictures of the before and after. At least our sweet neighbor let me bring her over this morning so she could even it all out. Thanks Lisa!

So Sad!
