Nope! Not us. I’ve been making meatballs for the freezer all morning, sat on the lanai for a bit, and have a concert tonight in our clubhouse.
Our older son is in Aruba with the family. They arrived Friday night. Notice my granddaughter’s bangs? She did what I did at her age. We both cut the front of our hair at the roots. . Her hairdresser did her best to make her presentable, but she learned her lesson and will have to wait a long time for them to grow out.
Have you ever messed up your hair?

I think that every little girl has taken a pair of scissors to her bangs. I believe I did, though I know my grandmother did it to me when I was a little girl. My mother was not very happy that her mom had ruined my bangs.

@DianneN I am sure she was not a happy woman after that. I've never had curly hair, but I've been told that it is a gift and a nuisance.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I only had the curls as a chubby baby. Now it goes from wavy to frizzy to straight to frizzy.

@DianneN I went crazy as he was bald in patches...We had to take him to a saloon where they did a military hair cut, so that he looked
almost bald all over.
When did your son get that idea...As a kid ?

Well, at least the hair will not go in her eyes. I never messed up my hair but the barber did a few times.

It's a great picture. I know they must be having a great time.
I don't know that I ever messed up my hair, but I did shave most of it off once while in the Army just before a 3-week deployment to Fort Irwin for desert training.

That's funny that he's in Aruba posing by pink flamingoes. One of my former lifeguards sent me a picture a few days ago of her in Aruba, posing in front of pink flamingoes! lol
When I was little, sometimes my brother and I would stay the weekend at our grandmother's house while our parents went and did some fun stuff on their own (like camping, or traveling or what not). And inevitably, every time, my grandmother would insist that we needed a haircut, and would get to work butchering our hair. My mom would always be so furious when she saw our haircuts, because my grandmother had no idea what she was dong! haha

@DianneN Yes, she was chop-happy! That's the best way to describe what our haircuts looked like after she got done with us! haha

Aruba sounds wonderful, for a great family vacation. Yes, I've cut my bangs numerous times and really made a mess of my hair! Your granddaughter's bangs look cute, because she has natural curl. A beautician has fixed my hair on different occasions, after I did a number on it! lol

@kobesbuddy That’s ok. She was in the hospital with a very high fever and pneumonia when they discovered that virus. No need to apologize.

You are so funny! When she was in the hospital she only had stubs of hair for bangs. She has to spritz them off her face when she’s in skating competitions. They love going to warm weather places for vacations. Both kids love to fish. They went to the Bahamas last year, Jamaica a couple of times, and California at least once. Hopefully, they will come for a visit here in March or May. The winter is rotten for ice sports.

@DianneN I missed something Dianne. When was she in the hospital? I knew she had a bad virus, but hadn't read that she was hospitalized. I apologize for not keeping up, on my reading

I am cheap. That being said I do own a clipper and do often cut my own hair. I HAVE messed it up for sure. Thank God it grows out. As for Aruba, never been there but would like to one day. Hope your son and family is having a fantastic time there, as I imagine they are.

I'm the oldest, so my parents learned with me. One day, instead of taking my nap, I went into the bathroom and took the scissors to my bangs. The spanking wouldn't have been so bad except that picture was there as a reminder of what I did the day before school pictures. I'll need to go through the box of pictures from my parents and see if it's still there.
I was five, so it was my Kindergarten picture.
I think your granddaughter looks fine.

I never cut my own hair but one of my kids did. It's a long wait. Her hairdresser did a nice job. I didn't even notice the bangs.

@Jeanniemaries Thanks and you are right. She needs to wear her off her face for ice skating competitions. Should be a challenge with gel and hairspray.

@DianneN Very short bangs remind me of Audry Hepburn. Your granddaughter is adorable. I hope she enjoys her bangs, they will be with her for a long time! Fortunately not forever!
