haircuts and deja vu

our little wombat is one funny character. his mullet was not helping his image any longer, so at long last we decided to give it a little trim. but then it turned into something of a big trim. and now those golden curls are no more. I almost cried. truly. call me a mother.

jim did a really good job, considering the moving target he had to work with. this boy does not know how to sit still. now romney looks like such a little-big BOY (I guess that's fair, since he is one) but I swear his personality has doubled to match.

note the striking familiarity of this next picture. no, not deja vu. it actually happened again! my good husband knows that I love sleep more than...well, so many things, and on this particular morning he was indulging me and letting me sleep in (actually, that happens on lots of mornings. he's really really good.) and when I woke up, he told me that he'd let Romney play in the pantry for just such a quick minute - but apparently it wasn't quick enough for him to not get into the crisco...again!

this is really funny to me, because after our last post about Rom getting into the crisco, Jim's mom told me that Jim used to climb into the fireplace in his church clothes while she was busy getting the other kids ready for church and get all sooty. I laughed out loud, thinking that it would only take ONCE for something like that to happen to me to not happen again. not so, apparently! but you'll all be glad to know that the crisco has now found a home on a much higher shelf and I, for one, don't let Romney play in the pantry anymore. oh, and I'm crossing my fingers that he doesn't discover the fireplace.

I love that there is an entire box of bandages close by for the haircut. Was Jim anticipating injuries?

I love his new haircut! but it really does make him look like a little (big) boy! good thing their hair grows so fast! he's always so cute no matter what though. and i can't believe that you didn't move the crisco higher after the first time!!! that's what you get i guess... :)

and do you seriously think you're ever going to use that much crisco?? who buys such a big tub of it?? do you fry EVERYTHING??? that's really the ONLY explanation!!

I loved his curls! My boys would have curls, but I can't handle the "bed head". It's untameable. But I would certainly have a box of bandages nearby for such a wiggly boy! (And beacuse we do have the Jackson genes of injury) I just gave up and took Ansley to Cookie Cutters. It's so worth not fighting with him and getting hair all over the house when he runs away! ;-)

meghan - you're so right about the crisco! what was I thinking?? chalk it up to one of those bad costco impulse buys (oh...I do need some crisco...) at least you know who to call if you ever need any! we'll probably NEVER run out.

As for the crisco....don't tell marie but I'm building a grease poll in the back yard behind our garage in this absolutely worthless space...or previously worthless that is. Now it is going to be a greased poll mecca where the scouts in the ward can come once a week to ruin their clothes.

I once was in fact a greased poll champion. I won like 50 bucks. It was pretty sweet.

I have no idea what a greased poll is or that there could be champions...!?!?
