The Evidence

I've had a few requests for pictures of the disastrous trip to the "salon." So, in the spirit of exhibiting certain aspects of our family life I present:

Exhibit A: The Fuzzy Monchichi look



















As a comparison - Exhibit B: A Fuzzy Monchichi




















Exhibit 1: The Shaggy Look




















Exhibit 2: Shaggy























But who doesn't want to look a little shaggy now and then?


I would be remiss at this point if I didn't inform all of you that yes, indeed, there is one thing that can fix hair mishaps and disasters: in our house it is known as goop, to most of you it is known as hair gel, and my boys insist on applying plenty of it....themselves.

So in conclusion, the Fixes:


Exhibit I: The fauxhawk...of sorts


















Exhibit II: Mr. Slick



















Aren't they cute...despite it all!

I love how Luke's shaggy look isn't just shaggy... its way crooked :)

A Monchichi -- Man that's a throwback to my childhood!!! I haven't heard of one of those in forever. Where did you find one? Anywho, I love the hair cuts. We use a razor on Ryan here at home --now I know why! Love it. I also love the napping blog on Luke. That was so funny. Kids!!!!!!

Ah, you made my day. Now I don't feel so bad for the hair cut I gave James on the spurt of the moment while he was in the bath tub the other day. :) Jessica

Hi Carrie - this is your cousin Carla. Brooke directed me (indirectly) to your blog - she posted about it on Gage's facebook page and I'm really enjoying reading it!

I cut Kris' hair. I have yet to cut my kids' hair, because it's curly and not in their eyes yet. They'll all have hair about two milimeters long. : )

Hi Carla!

You're very brave to cut Kris' hair...I won't near William's hair ever since the "incident" during law school!

I'm so glad you found our little blog. Hopefully its an avenue to keeping in better touch! I must admit that I've really missed reading your emails that dad used to pass along. Wish I had been on the trip this summer...hope to see your babies soon.

Carrie, this was awesome!! Too funny. I love your way with words. I love the Fuzzy Monchichi and Shaggy look! Goop can fix about any boy haircut disaster - except the "incident" that I also had cutting my dear husband's hair several years ago. We also refer to it as the "incident"! He still shutters when I get out the scissors. You got me laughing pretty hard over here.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a hanis do. It's too bad that I'm not an adorable little boy that can pull off anything!! Dang it. I love the comparisons, what the heck is a monchichi? I feel like I'm looking into Gabe's past with the pictures of Lukey sleeping all over the place. Too cute.

Carrie said...

Ahh, Brooke, you're just too young...or really that should read I'm just too old. The monchichi hearkens back to the good ol' days of my youth. Isn't it adorable? Mostly when its the Mitchell Monchichi!!!! And yes, you are looking into Gabe's past with those pics of Luke. That is just precisely how I remember little Gabey boy!

Carrie said...

Oh, and Brooke, I happen to like the mullett...you look beautiful no matter what, girl! And you flaunt that look now; you're a NEW YORKER! You can pull anything off!
