Nails, Cheese dip, and Fowhawks!

Ava and I had a girlie time this afternoon at the nail salon of course. I told her that we were only going to do her toenails today, but as you can see she had the nail tech eating out of the palm of her hands, and next thing you know I look over and there she is getting her FINGERNAILS done! Oh boy! She had her nails painted in honor of the fourth of July!! ha!ha!(ummm, I opted NOT to go that route......,though I was asked!:-)

We then had a mommy daughter lunch together at her favorite kind of restaurant. MEXICAN! (Aaaaahhh, a girl after her own mommies heart!) Seriously, that is what she chooses when she gets to choose. I can't figure it out though, because the only thing she likes there is cheese dip! So, she orders cheese dip and an order of french fries every time we go!! Whatever!

AND THEN came the "biggie". I picked up Carter from his grandma, and took the kids to get haircuts. When we arrived at the hair salon (a.k.a. Great Clips), there was quite a long line, but knowing that this was my only chance to get their hair cut, we waited. Somewhere somehow Carter got his hands on a kids "hair styles" book.

This is where my world as I have known it came to an abrupt end. You see, Carter's hair is MY pride and joy. He has awesome hair, and up to this point, his hair style has been MY choice. I have never let anyone do anything but scissor cut it before, and Craig won't even take him for a haircut, because he knows I will FREAK if they don't do it the way I like.

But TODAY Carter decides that he is going to brave the deep waters and tell me that it is time that HE gets to choose a haircut, deciding that a full blown Mohawk would be the choice of styles. WHAT???? LISTEN HERE BOY, I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD, I CAN TAKE YOU OUT!! WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT KIND OF HAIRCUT YOU WOULD LIKE??

Ummm, a growing, maturing, (oh, don't make me say it........), boy that is starting to have his own style....................(oh boy does this pain me.......)

Oh, my heart hurt to watch those beautiful locks drop to the ground, and clippers (gasp!)being used on his head.........

Alas, we "compromised" with a fowhawk instead of a full blown Mohawk!

And in the end, I must admit that the cut is ROCKIN'!!! A Rockin' cut for a Rockin' boy! Well, of course little miss had one too........
ps. I'm still considering a lawsuit for having INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL sitting around in a family hair salon environment. I mean seriously, since when do KIDS get to pick hairstyles out of a book????? Somebody tell me!!!
