Things that make you go Hmmmmm

So I have this picture on my fridge. Don't as me why. I think one of the kids hauled it out of the picture box, got a few chuckles and left it on my kitchen counter. So in the process of cleaning, I put it up out of the way on the fridge. Each time I saw it I started thinking, hmmmmm, how do these guys here with their long shaggy hair....

















End up looking like this....

















And as I began to ponder I knew this was going to take some research. So I dug in my heels and began what would be a long and daunting examination of the facts at hand (okay I looked through our pictures for 15 minutes). And this is what I discovered.

Early years of my son Blain	A few years later
Early years of my son Coty	A few years later

In fact we have to hide the clippers from Coty because he always wants his hair shorter now. We have "forbid" (or is it forbad?) him from cutting any smaller than the second to the smallest guard.

So what I deduced from my exploration, is that Thomas boys go through a metomophasis. They need to have a period in their lives where they have long hair. And I was happy, thrilled even to blame this whole thing on my husband. It was all fine and dandy until I ran across this picture...






















Yes that is me. It was at this point I knew I had to accept some responsiblity for our boys actions in their grooming earlier in their life. So I say, let's let sleeping dogs lie. We all turned out okay, no harm done. Enough said.
