Scrappin' girls

Can you tell that I spend too much time on my scrapbooks?

My friend (I will call her Miracle Mama- because we both have miracle babies) and I had to set up a separate table for the girls to use for their projects- pom poms, pipe cleaners, glue sticks, markers, paper, crayons, stickers, scissors, stamps and ink. They think they are scrapbookin'.

Tonight I started second-guessing myself though. In the past I have let GBk play with 'toy' scissors. Ya know the ones- they are plastic and do more ripping of the paper than actual cutting... I have given her the lecture about only using them on her paper- and nothing else. But tonight she found a different pair that cuts a crazy pattern- and decided that she wanted to cut her hair in that same pattern. I caught her just in time- although I really don't think that those scissors would cut her hair too well. But we had to put those scissors in time-out. She cried and said that she just wanted short hair! (The complete opposite of what she has been saying these last couple of years- remember, she cried when I cut my hair short!) I explained that if she wanted a hair cut, just to ask me nicely and I would take her to the beauty shop. Oh I hope that she does not ask me to take her- I love her hair long!

But here is the thing with her hair- it is from the 70s. I am just waiting for her to come out of the bathroom with feathered bangs. She hates to wear a ponytail- she will occasionally allow pigtails. She has 82 hairbows to choose from but her favorite thing to do with her hair is to just let it fall in her eyes and push it to the sides. UGH. I see a scrapbook page coming from all of this.
