things you should know about *this* photo

...

They both wanted all their hair cut off.

Mollie because she is the least girlie girl and doesn't like having to 'do' her hair and use things like hair bobbles...

Daisy for a slightly more complicated reason. As always with this girl. The last time they had their hair cut, she had two inches cut off....and Mollie had four. So, whenever we saw someone the shock of Mollie's big difference resulted in them saying 'OH! wow! Mollie, your hair is lovely!' and not really noticing Daisy's {until prompted ;) } There was no way on earth Daisy was going to let that happen again, ever. Hence her words in the hairdressers chair  - 'I want exactly what my sister just had' !!!!

We finally found an okay children's hairdressers. Now I don't have to beg my 'adults only' hairdressers to do it, nor pay quite much! Woot!

Its a bit of a shock every time I see their hair. I like it, but I like long hair too.. either way. This is handy for summer holidays tho :)

You'll note Daisy has still got a flower in her hair. If you think short hair is not girlie, she'd like you to look again ;) She will be working it!!!

Mollie has left today, just after this photo, on her first school residential- over night for two nights - trip. I had a bit of a pang dropping her off. Her and her bag of gluten free food, her wellies and larger-than-her holdall. You forget sometimes how young they are, til you see them all lined up in the playground with their bags and worried but smiley faces. agggh. She is very excited, only the tiniest bit worried.
'Do you think you'll notice I'm not here Mum?' she asked. Which made me smile. Like mothers could ever lose count of exactly who is where and when....
