We've been allowing Madison a lot of freedom to do her "crafts" as she has demonstrated more responsibility. She tells us she wants to be an artist when she grows up. I suppose that is what helped her to feel comfortable sneaking some scissors from the cupboard.
For her part, Brooklyn was more than a willing participant. She's the one that came downstairs to show off her new do and in the process, blew the cover of the illegal hair cutting ring operating out of our toy room. The only things missing were some tattoos and unnaturally tan, leathery skin. Brookie has a mullet.
Both girls are presently locked out of the toy room - the crime scene - until Christmas Eve when all of the cousins will come over and we'll be forced to let them in. Madison has also lost all of her "craft" privileges until that same day. That was my punishment for them.
Sara's choice is psychological abuse every time they ask for anything. "No, because you cut Brooklyn's hair and now she looks like a hillbilly."
Madison also wanted to choose a punishment. She decided to institute a library-style system for their DVDs. Now, all of their movies are in a drawer in my office and they must check out one at a time and return it before getting another.
So far both girls seem rather indifferent to the entire situation. I'm not sure who's punishing who.

That is hilarious! But probably only because it's not Erik and Anna. And just in time for all those family pictures at the holidays. I'm sure you'll be laughing at those pictures for years to come. ;>
Oh no!!! I think I would loose my mind. Although, Denver did have a hair cutting incident not too long ago and I just couldn't stop laughing... so maybe you guys are enjoying the laughter? At least your kids are still cute. Love the behind bars pic. And brooklyn looks very happy with her new hairut, she's seems a little shocked that you don't approve.
