A Hair Raising Adventure

My dear Kiah was in desperate need of some follicular restructuring, aka, a haircut. Fortunately for us we have a friend in the business who happens to be in love with our children. We sent James off for some male bonding with Grandpa and made it a girls day out. YIPPEE!!!

Here are the before shots of my oldest's perpetual bedhead syndrome.

During the process...

Sisters look on anxiously...

Goodbye Goldilocks...

Now for the style...
Will it look good? Will she like it?

Oh, YES!

At first, when she saw how much was dropping to the floor, I think Kiah became a little apprehensive. I, being the good Mommy that I am, quickly picked up on that and whispered in her ear, "Wow, Kiah, its going to look so much better. You already look more like a princess. You look older too. I'll bet everyone will think you're ten."

Kiah beamed. She is seven.

All the ladies in the salon Oohed and Aahed over what a beautiful young lady she was and how her new do looked so sophisticated and grown up.

Kiah beamed brighter. She was Queen for a day.

To continue our girls day out I let Kiah pick the place for lunch. Guess where we went? McDonalds. I personally don't eat McD's food but I did have a bad tasting iced coffee.

I kept telling Kiah that I just couldn't stop looking at her and taking her picture.

"Why, Mommy?" she asked.

"Because you just grew up a little bit, and you're beautiful," I replied.

She smiled and took a big bite of chicken nugget.

After lunch, we headed to the pet store to look at the birds and the bunnies and pick up some snake chow. Then on the way home we swung by My Love's work place to show Daddy the new do "before it gets messed up." LOL.

Kiah twirled and swished and ate up the moment Daddy had to fuss over her grown up hair. I know she will never forget this day.

Once we got home I took the opportunity to snap a few more pics.

Every time someone mentioned Kiah's new hair she would toss her head or sweep her bangs to the side... it was adorable...

*sigh*

Later that evening Marli decided that Kiah shouldn't be the only one to get all the attention.

I know she got the scissors off the table while the other kids were doing crafts but I'm not sure exactly when it happened.

But, I fixed it.
Say 'hello' to
baby Audrey Hepburn.
:-p

Here she is imitating Mommy's expression when I noticed what she had done.

MARLI JUNE!!!!!
