Hair, have you ever had that battle at home with your kids. "You will not wear your hair long as long as you live in my house". Kim and I decided a long time ago that hair would not be a battle we would fight in our house. All of our kids are very independent and very different from one another. Wil has had long hair, no hair, a mohawk (orange), a full beard, a gotee, no beard and now he has four tatoos and two lip piercings and ear rings, Daniel grew his hair down to the middle of his back in high school and then cut it off and donated it to "Locks of Love", no tatoos yet but he does have ear rings. Steffanee has always had long hair (no big battle there) and Jeffrey has also had no hair, short hair, long hair and now he stands his straight up on top. Then there are Kim and I. Kim has had long hair, short hair, shorter hair and now she wears it spicky, and me, I used to have long hair and now some will say I have no hair but I actually do, unless you are 8' tall and can see the top of my head, as my children and Kim will tell me, "you have a bald spot", whatever!!! So in raising your kids I say pick your battles otherwise you will be fighting all the time.Saturday, January 16, 2010

Great post! Yeah some things just don't matter in the entire scope of things. Love the picture!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that you still have your HSU ID....but oddly enough, I still have mine! What does that say about us!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all decided that, before the kids started wanting to make their own decisions. Cool, that you've started a blog. FYI-I have one to if you're interested: 2littlesweetpeas.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletelots about the kids, as you said-that's what our lives revolve around!!
