My Mother's Day "Gift"?

This weekend was one for the record books. I had a great time at the CHAP convention and stocked up on next year's curriculum. My mother was in town for the week and stayed home with the kids so that I could go to the convention early Friday. She stayed to help Mr. Clean and spend Mother's Day with us.

I came home Saturday evening to a clean house, a hot meal and this...


And since I figured he better get used to a "profile shot" if he is going to sport this haircut, I took a picture from another angle...

















I can only describe this haircut as 80's chic at best. Mr. Clean was the "artist" and I am sure he was not thinking about the AWANA closing ceremony in two weeks nor K.Z.'s very first piano recital in a mere three weeks, where our beloved first born will look as if a pet ferret was snoozing on his head (no... we do not actually have a pet ferret). Had he thought of these things I am sure K.Z. would have not gotten this haircut. At least I hope not.

So I am praying that his hair grows out in time to at the very least resemble a freshly shaven parolee and not a resident at Folsom Prison. Time will tell....

In the interest of fairness in blogging, I also present Xena, lovingly displaying her new math book that she is itching to start. She is my good child. She would never let Daddy near her with a pair of scissors, much less clippers...
