Hair

Not to be outdone, Emma got into the act of showing her new do.


The background:  Momma went to get her hair cut and hoped to have Emma's cut, too.  Unfortunately, the salon was too busy, and they could not work Emma in.  That is where I come in.  At home, with Maddie in the tub and Momma on the phone, Emma begged to have hers cut.  How hard could it be I thought.  I watched them do Maddie's, and it basically looked like:  snip snip here, snip snip there.  So with Emma hounding me to do it, I grabbed the scissors, received a weak nod of approval from Denise, began cutting, and voila!  A new do.  I do confess that it was way harder than I thought.  Adding to my lack of skill was the fact that Emma would not sit still and run-of-the-mill scissors are not the cutting instrument of choice.  Still, it doesn't look bad.  Emma actually received compliments from teachers at school.  HA!  After we cleaned up, the fun began.
I played around with the camera to get shots with varying shutter speeds and flash settings.  We managed to goof around some before Momma put a stop to our fun with comments like, "Who's the adult here?"  "It's a school night!"  "Emma! Do your homework!"

Some of these turned out pretty cool, especially the ones where she looks like she's transparent.  Today may put to rest the notion that we have no fun on school nights.
