Matthew and Armani - Armani's first haricut

Ok, its taken me a while to make light of this topic, but I think after a few weeks I feel more in control of my emotions and I could'nt let this incident go unnoted.

It was midnight, an intersting evening actually. I had put you both to bed and for once neither one of you got out of your bed to ask for water or food, or to go pee, or to "put the blankets over my head" (Armani), or to say goodnight to Daddy or brother (Armani, the queen of excuses why not to stay in bed). Nothing it was silence and i was naively enjoying it. So like I said, midnight rolls around and I shimmy off to bed and as I walk up the stairs, I notice both of your lights are on in your rooms and I wonder wow that's strange, I haven't heard them all night. So, I open you door Armani, since I can hear you kind of upset over something, and as I push open the door I see you, Matthew, with scissors in hand and a haircut that looks similar but worse than Jim Carey's haircut on Dumb and Dumber. Then my focus goes to you, Armani, scissors also in hand, and your new do that looks like a mullet....and then I pretty much lost it! At the top of my lungs I yelled, "Whaaaatttt did youuuuu doooooooooo!!!!!! Mainly focusing my eyes on you Matthew because after all, you are a year older and should know better! Then I realize that if I stay in the room one more second I may do something crazy, so I turn around and run down the stairs to the garage, where your father is installing shelves (which I later realize is why I never heard a peep), open the door and yell, "come see what your children have done!" "You have to deal with them because I cannot contain myself!" So he runs up stairs to see what all the fuss is about and sees the both of you with a doe eyed bambie look, like please dont kill us.

He delt with you, while I dramatically sat in Armani's room head in hands thinking what am I going to do with your hair Armani....I know, so shallow, but Armani, your hair is just so beautiful, we had not cut it yet and it was long and you had these beautiful blonde wringlet curls and they were all gone, your brother had done you a massive hack job, and you him, but of course he is a boy, and as much as I love his hair long, it will grow back and he can sport short if necessary, but that was three years of growth for you Armani, and I would never cut your hair this short on any normal basis.

Anyways, we were able to get you in the Hair Lounge (where we all get our hair cut) and get Rick to fix both your heads as best he could. Sadly, Marv our regular stylist and family friend was not in the salon that Saturday (which I was kinda hoping he'd be the first to cut your hair Armani, but I guess Rick really was'nt the first either, it was Matthew, so whatever..... Actually looking back on this...Im still not taking this as lightly as I thought.

So thats the story, I know one day I will read back on this and laugh or at least grin... Oh and Armani, you are the culprit here...after some investigation, I noticed that you had made a muck out of your room and emptied all of your drawers, ultimately coming across your cuticle scissors, went to go show Matthew, cut his hair in his room, then Matthew, you retrieved your cuticle scissors and went to Armani's room and cut her hair. And of course both of you peas in a pod did not refuse the other and were having the grandest time as usual....and that does make me smile...always.....you all are Best Friends and we are blessed at how well you get along, but I'll save that happy thought for another post.

Still love you both,
Mom
