An Outward Manifestation of Mom's Neglect

School kept me really busy, ya know?  And my boys began looking like this, ya know?

 I really do think that they were copying Ben, though.

Much of Ben's time over the last two months was spent helping a young film company with their first project.  Filming went on longer than they thought, and Ben wasn't allowed to cut his hair during the entire shoot.  By the time he was finished, even he was begging for a haircut.

He woke Lily up early one morning to help him put it in a ponytail for the last school day before his cut.

Jury was split--most people really hated the ponytail, but two guys tried to convince him to keep it.

I was in favor of the cut, myself. There was something a little creepy about that little tail in the back.

And here all three of them are after the floor was knee deep in clippings.

Hyrum actually had his combed at one point, but there's only so long a six-year-old boy can stay presentable, at least in this house.

Much better, boys.  Thanks.

Ben got a note on his windshield yesterday that said, "Never grow your hair that long again. Ewwww.  It was gross."

I agree.
