Ugh. My nine-year-old decided to trim his own hair.

[LaraMN]

He said his bangs were getting in his face so he just pulled them straight and snipped them. He has curly hair so they sprang WAY up. He looks so ridiculous. I have been trying desperately not to laugh at him. Being the really nice mom that I am, I told him that he looks like a brunette version of one of the Children of the Corn.

Jack got into some blue paint/marker things and colored his face (among other things). I had to take him to preschool looking like a smurf. I didn't even bother explaining it to the teachers. I figure they know him...

:crazy:

1. Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,

The sheep's in the meadow,
your brother's a child of the corn.

:rofl:

2. Look for the silver lining....

His newfound interest in self-coiffuring opens up a new world of potential gifts for any gift giving occasion...

[LaraMN]

18. I have amazingly low expectations for my own productivity at home.

:D

[PeaceNikki]

5. Mine shaved one of his eyebrows at about that age.

Right before school pictures. :rofl:

[LaraMN]

15. Omg! Lol!

I'm hiding my razors pre-emptively!

[FloridaJudy]

21. And any green food coloring

My kid once decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a unique and indelible way...

Amazing the number of people who will come up to you and say "Did you know your kid has green hair?", as if it were something that just didn't catch your attention.

[AlCzervik]

6. i love your children.

and i love your sense of humor.

[LaraMN]

14. Never a dull moment...

It sure will suck when they grow up and I've got no one at home to make me laugh!

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. "I told him that he looks like a brunette version of one of the Children of the Corn"

Ha! Diplomacy at its finest! :)

[Dangerously Amused]

[quip]

10. I don't think that they are of age yet...

[LaraMN]

12. Well, as a matter of fact...

The Smurf (difficulty to discern the full extent of his body painting, but trust me- it's head-to-toe):


NoelMN's sentiments about photographic evidence of his styling exploits:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. That's a pretty cute smurf.

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

16. Between that and his current obsession with watching Cinderella 3,

he just seems to be getting weirder every day.

[Sugar Smack]

19. I was going to suggest you chase him down and get a picture

but I see he's caught on to the idea of papparazzi. What a ham! He's so cute. :D

[PeaceNikki]

25. OMG!! The MN kids crack me up!!

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

26. squeeee! cute cute cute!!

Adorably funny kids! Love them!

And I really, REALLY admire how well you handle them. You are the awesomest mom, evar.

[dembotoz]

[FloridaJudy]

22. Two words:

"Crew cut". Sure it's barbaric, but it's only hair. It'll grow out.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Don't be surprised

if Jack comes home with an entourage of groupies.

[GreenPartyVoter]

cardboard box, but forgot his backpack, lunch bag, and homework at school. :silly: :crazy:
