Isn't It Lovely

This is why, when it comes to kids, you should never blindly answer a question. Yesterday we took all three kids to get hair cuts. Gabby was the last to go and the twins were getting a bit rowdy. I was trying to keep an eye on Hannah who had developed a fascination with the magazine rack, or more specifically, with watching the magazines tumble off the rack by the magic of her hand and Isaiah, who had developed a morbid fascination with the bathroom and looked, at any minute, ready to sprint past the threshold into - I'm sure - germ land (this was, afterall, a childrens haircut place and even though it's an awesome place, somewhat clean I'm sure, I do have a bit of germphobia which I won't be totally devastated if I pass on to my kids). In any case, it's fair to say I was distracted when the stylist told me Gabby wanted her hair up and oh yeah, could she put some spray-on color in it? I answered before thinking and this is what came home with us. In all honesty, I think it's pretty cool (giggle) but I'm not sure if I should be telling her that. In any case, I had to grab a photo.

And THIS is why you should never actually ask a child to "smile!" because, undoubtedly, you will get the toddler bear grin. I know this and yet I still fall prey to asking for that one little wicked word "smile!"

And one last pink-haired bear grin for the camera.
