Just a Little Off the Top

Here’s Trey, my youngest son.  He smiles. A lot.

Trey in Payson

He had an interesting day yesterday.  It seemed like most every other day at first, but some time after school and before I got home from work, Trey saw this in our bathroom.

 The Evil Clippers

 

Ignoring all logic and despite the use of this object by his mother for any haircuts or hair trimming that is done at home, Trey decided he wasn’t exactly sure what would happen if he turned this on and ran it through his hair.  Being an inquisitive young man, he determined that this specific time in his life was the best time to figure out what would happen under those circumstances, so this was Trey shortly thereafter.

Trey is not happy

Uhm, ya.

Not as much smiling. He does, however, now know what will happen when he turns that thing on and runs it across his scalp.  As for the timing; two days before school pictures, and at a school that doesn’t allow caps to be worn.  So, here is our smiling Trey now that mom had to try to even things out a little.  This is how he will be immortalized in his 2nd Grade class pictures.

Happy, but bald, Trey

The smile is back.  As for Mom and Dad?  Well, we had a difficult time controlling our laughter so we wouldn’t make him feel too bad.  Seriously, what would we do for laughs without kids?

LiveWriter

So, I’m trying out the new LiveWriter on my blog.  Seems to be working great.  Another tool to make my life easier…and thanks in part to some whining (in a good way) from Tim, it’s got some really nice new features!

While I’m at it, here is a funny video of two of my kids and their cousin getting tossed off of a horse under the care of their grandfather (my dad).  Don’t worry, they’re all fine, and it’s not the horse’s fault…what are you supposed to do if you are a horse and someone’s feet are hitting your flanks?  🙂


Video: The Fall

And here’s proof that they’re ok…this picture was taken several months after the fall…all three boys in tact.

You’ve probably guessed by now that the whole post was an excuse to try out the latest version.  I’m not ashamed…

Anyway, I digress.  If you use a blog, you owe it to yourself to check out Live Writer.
