OH, OH so many things to say on so many levels. Mostly, I am peeing my pants laughing, great flick, (not good peeing my pants on my brand new office Racaro Bucket Seat desk chair).
Precious, both of you. Thank you very much.

Well done, well done! So I have to ask...what's up with the lotion in the hair thing? And, her braids turned out very nicely! I would've never thought to just braid AROUND candy...I would've been cutting it out...or something. Forcible headwashings? So glad to know that you can braid around hair stuff. I'm so going to need to remember this (pick your battles, right?)
Next, um where did you get that jewelry box? me likey. Me likey alot.
Next...why didn't you braid your hair too? Joe couldn't have beat you on that one.
And, I concur on the hotness factor. Actually you are both hot and I love you both. But, you kinda rocked the braiding (sorry Joe, you're still hot though).
And....I so totally think we should all make a video on each of our rooms in our homes. It could get really interesting. I mean...REALLY. And, funny. So, tag you're it. You start it and I'll follow.

Ha! Love the shout out to me and the girls at the end. Repeatedly is an understatement. I had to watch it wih no volume this time so they didn't come running over for another Mr. Lady and 3of3 marathon.

Oh my gosh.... you like Fugazi? You are hot. Wet hair and all.
Lotion in the hair... she is way cute.

That was awesome. Thanks for the Skynrd by the way, and double thanks for not making it Freebird. Next time you do 3of3's braids you can pull a little tighter and play "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors. Just a thought.

First,
Holy CRAP! I have never, never, never seen a 10 minute plus youtube video...mostly because they say you aren't allowed to post them. By the grace of all that is good in this world they allowed you to post yours. I am laughing my ass off because you are hilarious and remind me of a couple of my lady friends around here. The ending made me misty, well, maybe just pensive, but it was awesome and I thank for all the kind words. Freakin' da bomb yo! You pulled out all the stops with the braids, my braid (though cute and all) is just sad. You totally win (my vote), as expected. We will have to see what the final tally is before it is decided though.
Great Work editing,
Joe
No one looks good in fluorescent lighting!

I will NOT go to Joe's site to tell him he's hot. And before you say it, it's not that I don't feel comfortable telling another guy he's hot.... It's just that for the love of God, the man's head is big enough already!!
You win hands down. Sorry Joe.
Alright, now I have to go post on his site that he won. be right back....

You get props for the french braids. I've never mastered those. And I'm glad to see that my kids aren't the only ones with food stuck in their hair. Cool! I am, however, immune to the boob shots. I play with my own all day, so I'm not distracted by others. ;-)

You are a quick study indeed. That is all I have to say. And hotter than Joe. Sorry Joe, I call it like I see it. Then again, I have to see Joe with wet hair. Apples to apples...

That was AWESOME! I miss braiding my daughter's hair - I probably won't even remember how to do it when the next little girl comes (in about a month). I'll have to come back and watch again to learn, or ask Joe, or see if BusyDad wants to come over the teach me how to video it too!
Sidenote: I was born with cojoined toes too. Mine was a 6th on my left foot. I begged them not to take it, but my parents donated it to scientific research or a child who needed one or something like that. It left a small empty space in me, or at least my foot. I was never the same.
Great video ML!

Yes! Momo braids baby!
Okay, you win hands down. First of all, French braids are WAY harder, especially on a toddler, and a toddler with gummy in her hair makes this an automatic decision.
Secondly, Simple Man rocks.
And finally, Joe didn't wear a low-cut shirt.
And, for the love of all that is good and holy, thank you for turning off that water.

Big fan of Joe.
Bigger fan of your braids.
You spanked him pretty bad in this contest. :)
Never seen conjoined toes, that's pretty cool.

Came over from Joe's site. Thought of being loyal, but I have to say you win. Even though Joe's braid was great, yours was like a braiding obstacle course. You gots to win for that alone.
You are a much nicer mom than I am. BTW, I'd think the lotion would get the gummy out just as well as mayo. Smells better too.

I thought you did awesome, plus you worked around obstacles and shit, yo.
I would so watch it 6 more times if I didn't have to go get the laundry started....or not but it was still good!

YOU ARE STILL HOT!
So there.
Awesome.
And it was great to hear your voice again.

Caity has mysterious food thing in her hair too.
She will never ever let me braid her hair..even with lotion.
Right now she is naked. It is 1:40 pm.
She is naked and laying on the couch clutching a feather duster.
She resembles something we found in the jungle.

You rocked that contest, babe! Amazing braids, and you made it look so easy. I can't manage to get the Princess to sit still long enough for two pony's, let alone braids.
The Princess spent the entire video trying to get 3of3 to say hello to her... perhaps we should get them together for a playdate again soon?

You have both made braiding talent skills far superior to mine and also a very, very good and patient little cutie pie girl. Oh, and excellent taste in music along with proper respect for Skynard.

Um, I have no typing skills today. "Mad" braiding skills. Not "made" braiding skills.
That was fantastic.
And the Simple Man - LOVE IT.
Thanks for the laugh.
Came over via Joe...I'm gonna go with it's a tie. Joe gets points automatically because he's a dad and dad's shouldn't know how to braid...so he's a feminine Dad but their's nothing wrong with that. You were good, but you're a woman and a little "chatty". Both children are adorable and both braids look nice. Therefore. A tie. Very cute idea, I love it!!

I cannot braid. My oldest had to learn to braid her sisters' hair, so kudos, kudos!

So funny. I can't get over how quite she was. I can't imagine I have the patience for braids, thank goodness that I don't have a girl. Will look at the other video later, as I have to get back to packing.

3of3 has a single minded focus with the lavender lotion from which I think we could all learn. And you both looked very cute for 10 solid minutes. Kudos.
That was adorable! I'm not sure I could sit there and watch my kid cover his hair with lotion...but then, it beats him covering our kitchen floor with honey, which is what he did Saturday morning. Maybe I just need to chill out...
That was one of the funniest videos I have seen in a while: Pure entertainment. And thanks for doing your part to save the water supply by finally turning that off.
I posted at Joe's that I want to vote for you both because I have difficulty making decisions...
What's the next competition going to be?

The lotion in the hair thing was totally cracking me up. So cute! And I'm sure middle school boys everywhere are uploading your boobies as we speak. Awesome!
Oh, and not sure who Joe is but I'm sure you whooped him. I'm mean, come on, your Mr. Lady. Duh!!

Hmmm, I see no link to my site in your post...that just occurred to me as I counted the votes (like 432-3 in your favor) anyways, many came from your pals that never saw me in action...scared? Link it!
I sat here and watched that whole damn thing. Like ALL of it. And rejoiced that my girls do their own freaking hair.
But I will be waiting for them when they get home from school with candy, lotion and a video camera.

And that right there is why you did my wedding hair. And that the family hairdresser couldn't get over the border due to that felony conviction. Thanks for leaving out the lotion.
i'll pay you in free porn (i mean, um, smokes. no, uh...hmm something appropriate...fat and therefore guilt-free brownies?) to come over and do mine AND isobel's. we've got no lotion focus over here, it's all about edibility. maybe i'll stock up on the dora snacks, too.

Even without sound, that was the funniest thing i have watched all year!
Thank you I needed a good belly laugh. I really have no idea why you made that little video, yet but it was funny, oh so funny.

Ohmygod. You said "bubble". From the age of 3-8 my daughter was obsessed with her ponytailed or braided not having ONE SINGLE hair bubble. She would make me take it out and start all over again. Great job.
And my husband has "together toes" too!!!
