Tool Belts, Hair Cuts and Paint!

So remember my "worst mother of the year award" and how my son said I would owe him something special? Well, I totally scored big points with the something special that I bought him!! I got him a tool belt. He is always going over to the house and watching his Dad and Uncle work and then coming into the house trying to find things to put on to look like them. So I figured he'd like to have a tool belt like them...and I was right! After I gave it to him and we were in the car on the way home he was sitting there with it in his lap and said, "this is the best day of my whole life!"
So I'm gonna say I evened out the scales with that one.

How cute is that!!!


We recently gave my son a haircut as well. He said he wanted a mohawk. My husband obliged for the initial cut......

But then he said he wanted it to be skinnier and we told him that it was soooo skinny you could "barely" see it! (wink wink)

Why the long face you ask.....now it's not because the mohawk is gone (he thinks it is still there!) It is because nearly everytime we cut his hair one of his fabulously talented parents ends up nicking him on the back of the ear!

oh my poor boy!!
