It all started when....

Two years ago one of my daughter Maddy's friend's older sister sold her hair for over $1,000. We were sitting around the dining room table discussing this news and I saw 4 daughters with hair below their shoulders. ChaChing! I asked them if this was something that they would be interested in doing to earn money for their college savings accounts. They said yes. I had long hair too and decided to join them in the quest, not wanting to ask them to do something that I was not willing to do. Two months ago I posted mine, Maddy's, and Mackensey's hair on an online hair auction site (similar to e-bay, but for hair). All of our hair measured at 18 inches. We were contacted buy a buyer from Canada who was interested in Mackensey's hair, but asked if she would be willing to grow it out to 24-28 inches (30 inches would be to her knees!) She agreed and over the next few weeks he offered to buy Maddy's hair and we cut it on Saturday. Here are the before and after pictures.



We were also excited when he asked Mindy if she would be willing to grow her hair out, too. (I'm just glad, she was feeling a little left out). What was Ben doing when all of this haircutting was going on? We put training wheels on Makayla's old bike and he learned how to ride cirlces around the shed. Look at the cool bike rack that Barry made!
