Issues 2011: Hair & Art & Rocks

HAIR:
I find it ironic that all of this started with Leia and Morgan watching Tangled, a movie about HAIR. Ha! It was only a few days later when Leia leaned over and cut a chunk of Morgan's hair off without her knowledge. Scissors taken away until Christmas. "I'm Sorry" cookies baked. http://leiaandannie.blogspot.com/2010/12/leias-big-mistake.html End of story? I thought so. Until THIS today. I looked at Leia at dinner and tilted my head sideways, wondering how I could have botched cutting her bangs this badly. Until I realized, ... it wasn't me. I asked Leia, "Honey, did you cut your bangs today?" Guilty face. Puppy dog eyes. "Yes." I couldn't believe this. Leia's hair was shellaked with ballet gel for the next two weeks, until it was long enough to cut tiny, short bangs with what was left. THEN, Annie just randomly walks into my bedroom, finds the actual hair-cutting scissors and cuts her own hair because it was "in her ears." Punishment for both: no scissors until after Easter. For the next infraction: a true spanking. (And we don't even BELIEVE in spanking!) Ah, supposedly the only children who do this have moms who cut their. Hmmm. True in this case.
ART:
Okay, now I'll admit that this issue is only with Annie, but she is having a real problem vandalizing both walls and furniture. First it was her sister's wall. She literally drew a bunny on Leia's wall! Here she is cleaning it up. THEN she drew with marker on our new couch!!! Thank GOD it was washable markers!

ROCKS:
Okay, no picture for this one, ... but when we were going on one of our first family bike outings with the new car, Leia Rose was sitting on the ground waiting for us to load the bikes and THREW A ROCK AT THE CAR, DENTED IT, AND TOOK THE PAINT OFF TO THE METAL!!! We couldn't even believe it! Just like the hair thing, ... it was just as stupid mistake. But the punishment for this one was watching Annie eat the promised ice cream, ... and using all of her tooth fairy money to pay for the touch-up paint. We're not even ready to admit that this could happen again. You should have seen how upset Daddy got!
