Update

Now that the dust has settled, and I can see life  a little more clearly,  I thought that I would update you on the status of the hair culprits.  Zion and I came to an understanding and compromise.  The compromise came about while I was doing Emma's hair Saturday morning.  Zion happened to be watching me while doing Emma's hair, I think secretly drooling over the fact that her hair was nice and his was still goofy, and Emma was staring at Zion, still dazed by his ghastly appearance.  While they were admiring each other, Emma asked, "Mom, did Zion cry when you were cutting his hair like that?"  
"No," I replied, "but he didn't like it either."
At which point, Zion crinkled up his nose, furrowed his brow, and point blankly stated, "I
 HATE IT ATCHLEY (actually)!!!!!!!"
So I promised Zion that if he would make really good 
choices all day, and make sure to do what he was asked, then I would make sure to "fix" his hair before church on sunday.  All day he kept coming and telling me some examples of his exceeding goodness, my favorite being, "Mom, I made my bed today, just for you."  How could I resist?  I know my heart is coated with steel, but underneath that is some real mushy stuff that leaks out on rare, but special occasions.  This was one of them.
Khyla just barely got her hair "fixed" as I had to make sure that I knew where all the cut marks
 were to make it as even as possible.  I had to call on some professional help for that girl, she had a pretty good hack job. So now I can proudly present you with the AFTER pictures. . . . . .

 Faces look a lot happier now! (mine included)

    Khyla's hair looks very cute and she seems happy with it. You would never know that a 4 yr old was the 1st one to cut it.

    Nice, you did a good job. From the pictures no one would notice unless you told them. I wish you lived here and could cut my hair. I, of course, would have to pass on the Zion special first. :)

    The haircuts really bring out their smiles. I really like that style on Khyla. I might have to try that on someone.

    There's nothing like a cute short little bob. Glad it all worked out in the end.
