Beauty School Drop Out?

Every few weeks, I take the kids to get their haircut. Lauren loves to get her hair trimmed regardless of the salon and Thomas only likes his haircut by (her name shall remain anonymous) at The Haircutters. After several salon visits based upon the latest coupon the 4FLEMZ receive in the mail I soon realized it was best to stick with (her name shall remain anonymous) at The Haircutters since the kids started asking for her when they were notified it was haircut time.

(Her name shall remain anonymous) is always excited when the kids come through the door at the salon. She is quick to mention how much they have changed since the last visit only a few weeks ago and let's them pick out a candy before they hop in her chair. She then engages the kids in a non-stop conversation regarding school, activities and movies. Now you know why the kids love her!

Alright, now I am going to cut to the chase. On our last visit, after Lauren was all trimmed up I thought I would ask her to teach me how to french braid since Lauren's hair is getting longer. She quickly replied, "I don't know how to french braid." I am sure I had a look on my face like WTH? Maybe I needed to clarify with her that I did not ask if she knew how to make french bread, but then I heard her shout out to another stylist in the salon, (her name shall remain anonymous too) - "Do you know how to french braid?" and then I heard the response, "NO!"

Seriously? Seriously! Isn't french braiding a requirement before you graduate beauty school? Maybe this is how Frenchie got her name from Grease?
Happy Friday!

Kids say the darndest things...

My recollection of a conversation between Brian and I (while we are folding and putting away laundry) with Thomas in the room.

Brian: Lis - I will set up my bluetooth in the car so you can use it with your phone too.

Me: OK. My phone is in my purse downstairs.

Thomas: DAD, YOU HAVE A BLUE TOOTH! Can I see what it looks like in your mouth?

Gotta love that kid!
On a side note - you gotta love the guy who is willing to fold and put away laundry with you too!

Happy Friday!

I am in love with the most under appreciated household object - THE PAPER TOWEL
For all of my green friends, I am your worst nightmare! I can only imagine how many paper towels the 4FLEMZ use on an annual basis.

For all of my peeps in the the paper towel gang - this one's for you!


So, for all you peeps who leave the last paper towel on the stand for someone else to change, be kind and replace a roll for us paper towel lovers. <3
Have you ever been right in the middle of something and went to reach for a paper towel or toilet tissue and realized you were left with nothing on the roll? Happy Friday!

So what happens when you put safety scissors (a total oxymoron) and a 3 year old in a room together...

A nice new HAIRCUT!

One of the 4FLEMZ thought it was a good idea to be frugal and pass on a visit to the local salon for her own version of a bang trim. One less errand we have to run this weekend. Any wagers on how long this may take to grow out? Have you had any safety scissor incidents in your home?  Happy Friday!
