It's been a while because Owen has been mostly good.  Not as much mischief as usual.  At least, not enough to write a blog post about it.

Last night, Peter went golfing with Mike.  The kids and I played baseball, had some dinner, took baths (them, not me, I don't take baths with them), and watched a little Nick Jr. before bed.  I told Peter when he got home that they were really, really good.  I couldn't complain about their behavior, surprisingly enough.

So, Peter gets home and I am busy looking up Mob stuff on Wikipedia because, of course, I DVR'ed Mob Wives and wanted to know the background.  Yes, I know it's trash and, actually, morally wrong to support such a show.  Hence, my FB about people being embarrassed by my DVR recordings.  Anyway, Peter walks down the hall to go to our room and encounters Owen in the bathroom.  I didn't even realize he was in there.  All I hear from Peter is, "Owen, what are you doing?  What's in your hair?  Is that GUM??"

Yep, sure enough, it is.  Somehow, Mr. Owen Michael Paul found gum (Vance said he got it out of the trash, which makes this story that much worse).  So, Owen found gum.  Owen chewed the gum.  And then, Owen decided to wear the gum as a bandana around his head like Chuck Norris.  Does Chuck Norris wear bandanas?  I'm almost positive he does.  So, he had gum stuck all around his head like Chuck Norris' bandana.

Of course, I do what every mother would in a situation like this ... I grab the camera.  After taking a few pictures for the blog and his high school graduation party poster boards, I attempted to get the gum out.  Unfortunately, he did a really good job "tightening" his bandana and the gum would NOT come out.  So, I grabbed some scissors and cut it out (Peter tried to convince me we should use peanut butter, but that seemed really messy for 10:00 at night).

Today, Peter buzzed his head (Owen's, not Peter's.  Peter is smarter than to put gum in his hair ... I think) and now the patches of missing gum hair aren't too prominent.  Is it ironic that Owen cut Elsa's hair only two weeks ago and now Owen had to have his haircut today?  It would have been sweet justice if we had handed those scissors over to Elsa, wouldn't it?
