Marlena's (Not So New Anymore) Haircut

What happens to you if you have a frugal dad and a scissor-happy mom? An at-home-haircut! Marlena's hair was hanging in her eyes and since she always pulls out any hair clips, it was time for a hair cut. She was supposed to get a basic bob - like Dora the Explorer, if you know who that is. Well, she wiggled and moved and the hair kept getting shorter and shorter. Finally Don held her head in place and I tried to fix it. Here is a picture, a few weeks later, of the end result:



















Not too bad, if I do say so myself. Marlena was pleased as punch with her haircut. Since I'd cut my hair short she's been asking for me to cut her hair short, too. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!


One unfortunate side effect of Marlena having short hair though, is that she is constantly being mistaken for a boy, no matter what she seems to be wearing... OK, so I dress her in jeans and t-shirts a lot... but the jeans have ruffles and pink stitching, and her blue shirt has pink buttons. Can nobody pick up on these details?!?!

Wolf, on the other hand, doesn't have enough hair for cutting.... yet. He'll probably just end up getting buzz cuts since we happen to have an electric razor handy. So, no big image changes on his part, but here's a fairly recent picture of him anyway.
