Black eyes and self haircuts!

Yesterday, from out of nowhere Jaycie turned up with a black eye.  I assumed that Charis gave it to her while they were outside playing in the backyard.  (Sadly, this would not be too surprising.)  After thinking about it for a while I realized where it came from. 

The night before she was asked to go and brush her teeth before bed.  She was being silly and ran into my room, slamming the door shut behind her and there were no lights on and in the dark she ran full speed into my bathroom door jam.  It was an extremely hard impact.  It was only red that night but the black part appeared the next morning.  And today it is very big and purple!  

Now about the self haircut.  Charis was cutting out something at the table while I was cooking dinner tonight.  I heard her say, "I'm going to cut my hair".  I quickly told her that we do not cut anything except paper that mommy gives her to cut.  And she replied, "Well why can mommy cut my hair?"  And I am sure you know my answer!  

Well either I was too late or she just didn't care what I said (the later is probably the case), but I found several little patches of hair on the floor by the table when she went to the bathroom.   Then I found more hair in the bathroom all over the toilet!!!  She did a good job though because it doesn't look bad at all!  I guess she got her Grandma Chambers haircutting talent. :-)
