It was 'Hair'larious! and some art today too!

So today I was in a pretty creative mood. I was working on a new class that I need to get done for November and a Halloween decoration that I'd like to have for the house. While I was in my studio working on this...

and this (yes at the same time)...

I heard Bryce in the bathroom. The water was running in the sink but I didn't think anything of it. He likes to play with his bath toys in the sink and I figured that was what he was doing. I was busy creating and listening to the new audiobook I downloaded, Bitten by Kelley Armstrong and didn't bother to go look to see what the munchkin was doing. He's 5 and as I said, he's played in the bathroom sink before with his boats and lego guys so it wasn't anything that concerned me.

He was in there for about 10 minutes before I decided I needed to use the bathroom. (I guess the sound of the sink just made me need to go!) So I got up, walked to the bathroom, and as I rounded the corner, I said, "Hey Bud, whatcha... **gasp**" Yup! I gasped. He had taken his scissors and was giving himself a haircut. Well, realistically in some spots he was scalping himself!! See the missing clumps in the front and on the left side of this picture...

I asked Bryce what he was doing and he told me... "I'm making myself handsome!" Ahhh... NOO! You're not! was what I was thinking. But I didn't tell him that. I just looked at the spots of totally missing hair and grabbed my camera. I even took a picture of the sink. Look at all the hair!!!

Ehhh gads! He did all this with a pair of kid scissors. I couldn't believe it! I can hardly get those things to cut paper half the time, he must have been sawing away at his hair!!!

Well, I took one look at the hair, poked my fingers through the mess to see if it could be salvaged by me and decided that this was a job for the professional. Enter, Auntie Erika...

Aunt Erika was woken by me and came over before Bryce had to go off to school. He ended up with a buzz cut because there was nothing else she could do for him. I think she said this was a 3 or a 2. Bryce hates it. He's cold and he doesn't like the way it looks. Aunt Erika told him that next time he thought he needed a hair cut to call her and she'd come right over. We even went through the steps of how to call her on the telephone. ~Press number 7 until you see the number pop up, then press talk and wait for her to answer.~ We even tried it a few times to make sure he 'got it'. I think he did.

I finished my project too!, a little later on. Not the house yet, that needs a little more paint but my inked metal file folder is completed. I'll let you know later what it's for...
