Another Maddie Adventure!

I'm sure you know that if it says Maddie "adventure" that it is going to be something pretty crazy. It wouldn't be a complete week if we didn't have some sort of Maddie Adventure, that's for sure. What would I do with all my free time?
Yesterday I told my husband that I was going to go upstairs and ride my bike and basically that he was supposed to watch the kids. I guess I didn't say it in those exact words because he didn't even know where the kids were. I was in my room riding my bike and the two little kids were playing some kind of hut thing on my bed. After about 20 minutes of listening to them scream and fight over who gets this pillow and what blanket etc... I finally told them to go down and find Dad. Basically to remove themselves from my sight. I finished the bike ride a little while later and the next thing I know Seth comes into my bathroom (while I am in the shower) and hands me my straight edge razor. Atleast his fingers were all still attached. I knew that I had left my haircutting stuff in the front room, but it was all bagged up. That has never stopped her before. I took the razor and thought OK I will go and put everything away when I get out. Then not 3 minutes later I hear Joe walking up the stairs saying OH NO over and over. The thought ran through my mind that she got into some color and proceed to color the "nice" carpet up the stairs. He scolded Maddie and said no we don't do that etc.. and then made it into the bathroom. I asked him what happened and he told me that Maddie gave herself a haircut. I thought oh is that all? He said you didn't see all the hair on the ground. Well at least hair grows back. At least I didn't have dark brown color stains going up my stairs. That would have been about par with the rest of the house, however. So in Maddie comes sporting tears of being in trouble. Her hair was a mess. She gave herself bangs!! Not just bangs but all kinds of layers and such. Her hair was half way down her back and then the front was to her eyebrows. The before picture doesn't do it justice, but it was bad news. I wanted to cut her hair to her shoulders or something cute, but I wasn't expecting 8 inches or more in places. We had to go to Grandma's house to spray for bugs later that day and grandma said what did you do to all your long hair? Maddie said "haircut". She was quite proud of herself. I guess in all the time that I have been doing hair with her around I should be grateful that she hasn't done it sooner. Oh well like I told Joe "its just hair!" Hope you enjoy Maddie's NEW do.

These don't really do the hair cut justice, but see if you can see all her random layers.

Maybe I should have left the mullet, we are in Lehi now...

Do pardon the toy room disaster behind her.

We are going to need some serious bobby pins for the front for the next year or so, but she does look really cute!
