Scissors

So... I had gotten the kids dressed and fed and changed and decided that I needed I tiny cat nap. I don't even think I had fallen asleep yet when I heard nothing, pure silence, mother's of the world know this is the worst sound you can hear all day because it usually mean mischief. I decided to interrupt my rest and go see why the girl's had gotten so quiet and then Kassidy looked at me. Her bangs were missing!! It took me a few moments to realize what had happened and then I saw the scissors lying on the floor next to the girls. Then I noticed that Kassidy was not the only one missing hair, Kori had also had a chunk of hair cut away. I freaked out, they got time out while mommy figured out how in the world they had gotten a hold of the scissors. As the oldest of nine I am familiar with girls' obsession with scissors and thus always make sure that they are put out of reach. I didn't factor in that Kassidy is very resourceful and has a sturdy stool. Needless to say the scissors were not far enough out of reach. It took a year and a half to grow out Kassidy's bangs and now I get to start from scratch, Kori's is less noticeable because of the thickness of her hair it will be easy to disguise. We have all learned a valuable lesson, Mine: Nothing is ever out of reach for a three year old.
