Fun with hair and Kool-aid
Jun. 19th, 2008 01:04 pmOn Friday night when my parents and niece were here, I announced that M, my niece (W) and I had a little project that we needed to go work on while my parents kept E out of trouble. She had had an extremely odd sleeping day (following her three hour plus wakefulness in the middle of the night) so she was up way past her bedtime. So, we closeted ourself in the bathroom, where we proceeded to do unspeakable things to M's hair.
That's dyed with Kool-aid, and it's still actually in his hair at this point. It washed out much more than we wanted--it was stinging (possibly because we had just shaved his head) and it was bedtime so he rinsed it out sooner than he probably should have. There was still a red tinge the next day, though.
I love how unimpressed Evelyn looks. We were a little afraid that she'd be afraid of him with a mohawk and so we were prepared to shave it off right away, but she didn't much care either way.
M goes to work in shorts and sandals, so there is really not a dress code at all that he needs to follow, but even he was a little leery of showing up with a red mohawk and calling himself a manager. He did actually have to work on Saturday for inventory, so his work buddies did get to see his glorious new 'do. They were also... surprised. My family was also a little on the shocked side, as were the people at the restaraunt and grocery store when we stopped in on Saturday. M is really just not the type that you expect a mohawk from. :)
On Sunday morning, we sent Evelyn off to church with her Granny and Grandpa while we finished getting ready and yes, shaving M's head. He had been planning to shave his head, just to see what it looked like, all along. The red mohawk was just for fun. He doesn't look horrible with his bald head, but he does look better with hair, so he's growing it back out and it's already long enough to almost look like he has hair again. ;) Even if he really liked it, it is totally not the right hairstyle for him because it requires way too much work on keeping it shaved.
So yes, she looks like a boy in that picture, but how could we NOT buy this outfit for her? She is totally M's little mini-me! :)
