You're not going to shave my head.

0:01

>> Where are you going?

0:02

>> You have to tell me. You won.

0:06

>> YEAH, I win.

0:07

>> Pink hair.

0:08

>> Pink hair.

0:09

>> I'm afraid. Oh my gosh.

0:15

>> Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm the world's mom. And

0:17

this is a bit of a double whammy

0:19

episode. A long time ago, I let Jackson

0:21

and Wyatt plan our date night. It was so

0:22

fun. We want to do it again. So, we're

0:24

going [music] to let the kids plan our

0:26

date night. But on top of that, I'm

0:28

going to let them pick my haircut and

0:30

hair color. I've [music] done it once

0:31

before, but only with Jackson and Wyatt.

0:33

So, we are here at [snorts] the hair

0:35

salon right now. Wish me luck. Let's see

0:38

what happens. Can we go over the rules

0:40

really quickly? [music] So, for this

0:41

hair, it has to be a treatment she can

0:44

do in one day. So, a color she can

0:46

achieve. Today,

0:47

>> I'm going to pick

0:49

>> Oh, you can pick whatever cut, whatever

0:52

color is possible. You ready?

0:54

>> Yeah. We are at my friend's hair salon.

0:57

She's been doing my hair for years and

0:59

years and years. I trust her. Can you

1:01

guys just promise me one thing? Can we

1:03

all put our hands in and promise? You're

1:05

not going to shave my head. 1 2 3.

1:08

Promise.

1:09

>> Okay, I'm going to leave you to it.

1:11

Remember what we promised?

1:13

>> Not to make you bald.

1:14

>> Yes. Please don't make me bald. Beyond

1:17

that, [music] it's up to you guys. Okay.

1:19

>> Mhm.

1:19

>> I'm excited. This is going to be a

1:21

surprise for me, so I'm not going to

1:22

listen. So, what are you guys thinking?

1:24

What color do you want to do for your

1:27

mom's hair? What are you thinking? Oh,

1:28

you're thinking pink. [laughter]

1:30

>> Pink hair.

1:31

>> Bright pink hair.

1:32

>> Her color she has is really cool. Maybe

1:35

like brighter.

1:36

>> A brighter version of what she

1:37

>> made it brighter.

1:38

>> Well, it sounds like you guys like the

1:40

pinks. So maybe

1:42

>> What would you guys think about doing

1:43

like some pink highlights? Like a

1:46

lighter version of what she has with the

1:48

color she has. Do [music] you think you

1:50

like that?

1:51

>> Uhhuh.

1:51

>> What do you guys think about her

1:52

haircut? What are you thinking?

1:54

>> Still wrong.

1:55

>> She got a perm.

1:56

>> I'm afraid. It [snorts] sounds like

1:58

they're arguing, which is never a good

2:01

sign.

2:02

>> Okay, so layers.

2:03

>> Stop.

2:04

>> Do you want her to have still [music]

2:06

the same bangs? Do you want her to have

2:08

layers? Her hair is really long right

2:10

now, so put movement. And you know how

2:12

she has the bangs? We could like frame

2:14

it.

2:14

>> Does that sound cool?

2:15

>> What do you guys think?

2:16

>> Go this one. [laughter]

2:18

>> They're just feeling hair.

2:20

>> Are we wanting to go shorter? Do you

2:23

want to keep it long?

2:24

>> We should do this.

2:25

>> Okay. Well, hopefully they agree on

2:27

something. I'm surrendering my hair to

2:30

you. I'm nervous about two things. The

2:33

one unifier with my kids is like a love

2:35

of poop jokes. So, I'm a little

2:38

concerned to the other thing that I'm

2:40

nervous about. If I leave the house, I

2:42

get a compliment on my hair and it

2:44

really boosts my confidence. So, I'm

2:47

nervous to give that up, but I really

2:50

want to try something [music] new. Also,

2:52

look, I haven't cut my hair in a hundred

2:53

years. When was the last time you cut

2:55

your hair?

2:56

>> Um, probably when you cut it.

2:58

>> I think it's gonna turn out great. We're

3:00

gonna keep you turned away

3:03

>> from the mirror. So, you will not be

3:04

able to see it.

3:05

>> I'm not going to peek. [music]

3:06

>> And when and if I have to cut, we'll

3:10

just have you like close your eyes.

3:11

>> Okay.

3:12

>> Yeah. There it goes. [laughter]

3:24

My hair doesn't look different.

3:26

>> Well, it's wet right now, so we'll see

3:28

what the color is when it dries. I have

3:30

a surprise for you.

3:33

>> You get to pick a color to put in your

3:34

hair. Are you guys excited?

3:36

>> Yeah.

3:37

>> What about for your guys' self?

3:39

>> I want this one.

3:40

>> You want pink? Do you like any of these

3:42

colors, Henry?

3:44

>> A blue. Okay.

3:46

>> Neon blue. I want pink.

3:47

>> And you want pink?

3:48

>> Neon pink.

3:49

>> Okay.

3:50

>> Henry, where do you want the blue? Do

3:52

you want me to show you yourself in the

3:53

mirror and you can tell us? [music] Like

3:55

here.

3:56

>> Okay.

3:58

>> Both sides.

3:59

>> Oo, you look sides. Sure.

4:02

>> I think it's going to match his eyes.

4:04

>> Oh, it's going to [laughter] be so cute.

4:06

>> Okay, we'll do both sides. Okay. Henry

4:08

following in the footsteps of his mother

4:11

with the blue hair.

4:12

>> It's just direct eye. It's nothing

4:13

permanent.

4:14

>> Not permanent hair color. Yes. It's

4:16

something that's just conditioner and

4:18

pigment.

4:19

>> Do you like the blue?

4:22

Look at that processing hair. Lenny,

4:25

what color do you want?

4:27

>> This is your dream, Lenny. Just being

4:29

pampered. Again, this is safe. No

4:31

bleach, nothing.

4:33

>> Yes, girl. You look so cute. [laughter]

4:43

All right, I think we're done. I'm

4:45

excited for you to see it.

4:46

>> All right. Are you guys ready to see her

4:48

hair?

4:49

>> Yay.

4:50

>> Okay. One, two, three.

4:57

>> I am so relieved [laughter] right now.

5:01

>> Oh my gosh.

5:03

>> It's a little darker.

5:05

>> Wait, gave me a regular hair

5:07

appointment. I cannot tell you how

5:10

relieved I feel right now. [music] I

5:12

absolutely love this. While the

5:14

transformation is not so shocking or

5:17

different, I was absolutely shocked.

5:19

They're really silly. I was fully

5:21

[music] expecting a wacky hair

5:24

transformation. Instead of thinking,

5:26

"What do I want to see on mom's hair?"

5:28

They're thinking, "What would mom like

5:30

for her hair?" Not only is that so

5:32

unbelievably sweet, [music] it just

5:35

shows me how mature they're getting and

5:38

how thoughtful they are. [music] It's

5:40

like a little darker.

5:41

>> I know it's hard to tell in the light.

5:43

some pops of highlights.

5:45

>> Yeah. Did you just do it cuz you know

5:47

that I love it.

5:48

>> It looks so good on you. Like the color.

5:50

>> Thank you so much. And the cut is

5:53

incredible. I actually have some volume

5:55

to my hair.

5:56

>> They specifically wanted layers

5:58

>> really.

5:58

>> And they liked your bangs. So yeah,

6:01

>> it's definitely not this deep [music]

6:02

for the kids. But for me, my hair is so

6:05

much of my identity. It's been my

6:06

identity for [music] years and years and

6:08

years. So having them choose the color

6:12

is especially deep and scary for me

6:15

because it [music] is such a huge part

6:16

of my identity. Also, I know a lot of

6:19

you were hoping for blue hair to make a

6:21

comeback. I get asked [music] pretty

6:23

much weekly when the blue hair is going

6:24

to come back. I'm so sorry. It's [music]

6:27

just so much maintenance. I got four

6:29

kids to feed. I can't go back to the

6:31

blue hair. That was two kids hair. Now I

6:33

have four kids hair. Oh gosh. I cannot

6:36

thank you guys enough. I cannot thank

6:38

you guys enough. I'm letting you guys do

6:40

this every time. Every time I get my

6:42

hair done, you have my full trust. I'm

6:45

ready to go out. But it is so sweet

6:48

[music] to see how just a little boost

6:50

of wash out conditioner, it can really

6:53

boost their [music] confidence. I mean,

6:55

Lenny's entire personality changed the

6:58

second she got a pink [laughter] streak

6:59

in her hair. Since Henry got the blue

7:02

streak in his hair, he has gotten so

7:03

many compliments at school and it's so

7:06

sweet to witness.

7:07

>> You see that blue?

7:09

Oh no, Lenny's upset. Go check on her. I

7:13

love it.

7:14

>> As soon as the hair was done, it's time

7:16

[music] to get home and prep for date

7:18

night. Okay, now that the hair is done,

7:21

what's the next phase?

7:23

>> Oh, makeup.

7:24

>> Yeah, you guys can pick our outfits and

7:27

our makeup.

7:28

>> That's makeup. I don't know if he wants

7:31

makeup, but I do.

7:32

>> Let's pick dad's cologne.

7:33

>> Oh, yeah. Pick his cologne. You can pick

7:35

my perfume. But here's the rule. Ready

7:38

for the clothes? It has to be weather

7:40

appropriate. So, we're not wearing

7:42

bathing suits. And it has to be activity

7:45

appropriate.

7:46

>> Where are you going?

7:47

>> You have to tell me. Figure out what

7:49

we're going to wear. Okay.

7:50

>> They wear you want to help us pick

7:53

clothes for him.

7:54

>> Each kid grabs one outfit and I'm going

7:56

to try them on and they all vote. This

7:58

is option one. This is Lenny's choice.

8:01

>> Does anybody vote for this?

8:03

>> Lenny, do you vote for this? Do you like

8:05

this outfit?

8:06

>> Pajamas to a restaurant.

8:08

>> This is kind [crying] of cool.

8:10

>> Pajamas. This is a lot.

8:13

>> I kind of like it and I kind of don't. I

8:15

don't know.

8:16

>> You kind of don't.

8:17

>> Okay, so I'll try on the next one. Okay.

8:19

>> Mhm. I really should have cleaned out my

8:21

closet before I let them go in there to

8:24

pick an outfit and give them free rain

8:25

because I have some weird stuff in

8:28

there. I'm going to be honest. I meant

8:30

to donate this.

8:31

>> I don't know why I bought this.

8:33

>> Wow, it's cool.

8:34

>> Maybe just in case I get invited to a

8:36

Mama Mia party.

8:38

>> I want to wear that.

8:40

>> Yeah,

8:40

>> you want to wear this?

8:41

>> Yeah,

8:42

>> she wants to put it on. Girl, I'll get

8:44

you one.

8:45

>> There's a time and place for a [music]

8:47

sparkly gold Abba outfit.

8:50

And maybe it's not date night. Any

8:52

thoughts, guys? I think that's cool.

8:55

>> I do like this dress a lot. Option four.

8:57

>> It's the best.

8:58

>> You can see it's got a little puff

9:00

sleeve. It's a little sheen of gold in

9:04

the thread. I got this on sample sale

9:06

for

9:07

>> the best.

9:08

>> $6. What do you vote on? The black

9:10

dress. Henry, what do you vote for?

9:12

>> The gold one.

9:13

>> The gold one. Which one? This or this?

9:16

>> Guys, what about the orange one?

9:18

two.

9:19

>> There was a lot of conflict and there

9:20

[music] were a couple of tears when the

9:22

final votes were cast.

9:24

>> We're going to have to do rock, paper,

9:25

scissors.

9:26

>> Rock, paper, scissors. Stand up. Rock,

9:28

paper, scissors. Shoot.

9:30

>> Yeah.

9:32

>> Okay. It's the black dress.

9:33

>> Jackson's got good style. Honestly,

9:35

[music] he's 14. He knows what I like.

9:38

We're all in good hands when it comes to

9:40

[music] Jackson's taste. We're going to

9:42

look at makeup looks.

9:44

>> This one.

9:44

>> Oh, you want a winged eyeliner? Oh yeah.

9:47

Do this one.

9:48

>> I got to go give him a hug now. Henry

9:50

cried. Someone's a little upset. I'm not

9:53

wearing [laughter] cold.

9:55

>> Why are you

9:56

>> Oh, baby.

9:58

We had to [music] really turn the ship

10:00

around. I had to write the ship here.

10:02

So, I decided he would get a little more

10:04

say in the makeup because his outfit

10:06

that [music] he was very passionate

10:07

about was vetoed.

10:10

>> There's also Okay. So, like a dark red

10:12

lip. This is soft glam.

10:15

>> What does that mean? It's like glam but

10:17

not too crazy.

10:18

>> What is it's glam

10:20

>> like doing full makeup? Smokey eye.

10:23

>> No,

10:24

>> this is vintage makeup. [music]

10:26

>> This one. Vintage.

10:27

>> No, I want that one.

10:28

>> No.

10:29

>> '88s.

10:30

>> '88s.

10:31

>> 80s. Show me.

10:32

>> Oh, yeah. 80s.

10:32

>> When Henry [music] stumbled upon '8s

10:35

makeup and insisted on that, I didn't

10:38

think I could pull it off.

10:39

>> '88s makeup one. My sister left this

10:43

palette. So, Stella, I apologize. I'm

10:46

going to be using your palette before I

10:47

give it back. Okay. Don't really know

10:49

much about makeup. I'll never forget I

10:52

posted an Instagram story. [music] Once

10:54

that was me with my makeup done and I

10:56

said, "Oh, did my makeup today." And

10:58

someone replied saying, "Same makeup

11:00

every time. I just don't branch out and

11:02

I don't know how to do it." You guys

11:04

want to pick my jewelry?

11:05

>> Yeah. [screaming]

11:06

>> Yeah. She's her ring. Oh, what about

11:08

this eye?

11:09

>> Oh, that's creepy.

11:10

>> That's not

11:11

>> Oh, wait. This

11:13

>> ring look

11:14

>> if you want.

11:15

>> Oh no,

11:16

>> that's a nude ring.

11:17

>> Who cares?

11:18

>> Oh, I forgot to put on eye cream. Oh my

11:20

gosh. What are you doing in the bathtub?

11:23

>> I can't.

11:24

>> Okay. Can you pick up whatever you

11:25

kicked over?

11:27

>> What if mom voted for the cologne?

11:29

Depending on which one she thinks smells

11:31

best.

11:31

>> She's going to choose yours.

11:32

>> No, you know which one is my favorite.

11:34

So, you guys pick.

11:35

>> What's your favorite?

11:36

>> My favorite is this one.

11:38

>> But you need to choose your favorite out

11:39

of these.

11:40

>> Okay. No.

11:41

>> Okay, I'm going to close my eyes and

11:43

smell. Hold on.

11:45

>> The first one.

11:47

>> That smells good.

11:48

>> Second one.

11:50

>> Okay.

11:50

>> And then we got

11:53

>> Okay. Third one is my pick.

11:56

>> Come on.

11:56

>> She likes mine. She already knows.

11:58

>> This is one that got

11:59

>> You act like I'm biased.

12:01

>> I'm

12:03

Then let's have Lenny be the last voter.

12:06

Close your eyes. Lenny, smell it. Next

12:08

cologne. Now smile. And now last

12:12

cologne. Okay. Look. Close your eyes.

12:13

Close your eyes.

12:14

>> Come on. Pick the last one.

12:16

>> Which one do you like? 1, two, or three?

12:18

>> Let's go. Let's go.

12:20

>> COME ON, MAN.

12:21

>> LET'S GO.

12:21

>> THIS ISN'T.

12:23

>> WHY ARE YOU being so competitive over

12:26

cologne? I actually like this [music]

12:29

eyehadow look.

12:30

>> I think it actually went really well

12:31

with the outfit because the dress was

12:33

kind of puff sleeve. It was giving a

12:35

little 80s vibes in the cut. Then I had

12:38

the 80s makeup to go with it.

12:39

>> I've got a mood ring to wear. You guys

12:42

didn't pick my shoes.

12:44

>> It's very, very rare that we get to go

12:46

out [music] to do anything at all

12:48

without the kids. Now that Jackson is

12:50

14, lucky me, he wants to make some

12:52

extra money. So, he was highly motivated

12:55

to [music]

12:56

get babysitter certified. Who's watching

12:58

the kids tonight? Me. A

13:01

>> Jackson actually decided to get Red

13:04

Cross certified at babysitting. You are

13:07

gonna be in charge tonight.

13:09

>> Well, why is my face big? [laughter]

13:13

>> Cuz it's close to the camera. Lenny, are

13:16

you going to listen to Jackson?

13:18

>> Yes.

13:19

>> You know, Jackson is very comfortable

13:21

babysitting. [music] He has done the

13:23

first aid and the CPR training. So,

13:26

[music] in case of emergency, I think he

13:29

has the tools he needs to handle it.

13:31

Plus, the way I handle babysitting just

13:34

in general. When I used to babysit, I

13:36

would get a long list of all [music] the

13:38

things I was expected to do every minute

13:40

of the time I was babysitting. And

13:42

that's how I do things a little bit

13:44

differently. I just really want [music]

13:46

the babysitter themselves to not feel

13:49

frazzled, not feel overwhelmed, and I

13:51

just want them all safe and settled.

13:54

>> All the layers. Look at sleeves.

13:56

>> Okay,

13:56

>> I'm going out. Uh-oh. Air Force Ones.

14:00

>> Yeah. sneakers.

14:02

>> New hair.

14:04

>> Look at that dress. Wow.

14:07

>> 80s eyeshadow.

14:09

>> Looks good.

14:10

>> So, the last thing to do is figure out

14:13

where we're going. So, our first stop is

14:17

Costco.

14:19

That's

14:19

>> all right.

14:20

>> Where we're going to eat. We're going to

14:23

the Costco food court. We're a little

14:25

overdressed. You know, I understand the

14:27

sentiment. I do really, really love

14:29

their hot dogs. My kids know this about

14:32

me. So, I'm sure they picked it because

14:34

they know I like the hot dogs.

14:42

>> Caramel brownie.

14:43

>> I love this hot dog.

14:45

>> Done. Ready?

14:47

>> Yeah.

14:48

>> I've been working on the ice cream.

14:49

>> Costco is [music] my happy place. Matt

14:52

calls it my $300 therapy session.

14:55

>> Let's see your haul. Well, I'm not done

14:57

yet. Hold on. Because I always come back

15:00

in a better mood when I'm done shopping

15:02

at Costco. [music]

15:03

I think the kids logic was mom is happy

15:06

at Costco, so let's send her to Costco.

15:07

[laughter]

15:08

Now, throughout the evening, I'm

15:09

checking [music] in with Jackson. And

15:11

things were getting a little cuckoo at

15:14

home.

15:14

>> They're having a little dance party

15:16

right now. Wa! He's break dancing. Hey,

15:19

go Lenny. Go Lenny. Go Lenny. Wa!

15:23

Awesome. Good job, everyone. That was

15:26

easy. That was about the cheapest date

15:28

night dinner we've ever had. And we

15:31

splurged. We got drinks and dessert.

15:34

[music] Our next stop is actually so

15:36

fitting with my8s

15:39

eye makeup. They picked an arcade, but

15:43

it's actually a really cool arcade. It's

15:46

a restaurant and bar and it's kind of

15:48

geared towards adults, so I imagine

15:51

there's going to be a lot of 80s

15:53

classics.

15:53

>> [music]

15:53

>> I've walked by this place several times.

15:55

I've wanted to go. I've wanted to try

15:57

it. We just don't get out that much. So,

16:00

this is going to be really fun. Our next

16:03

stop was a place we've passed [music] by

16:05

a bunch of times and never gone in. It

16:08

is an arcade that's also a bar and all

16:12

of the games are retro80s [music] arcade

16:15

games and the kids have always just

16:18

wanted to go in because games. [music]

16:21

But in the evening, it doesn't seem like

16:23

the best place to bring kids. I think it

16:25

must have been stuck in the back of

16:26

their mind as a place that Matt and I

16:28

should check out. [music] I had the 80s

16:30

makeup. I had the poofy sleeves. Like, I

16:32

fit right in at [music] that spot.

16:34

>> I got a lemon cello mocktail.

16:37

It is so good.

16:40

>> You the pink one or the llama?

16:43

>> Where?

16:43

>> Right there. That one.

16:46

Come on for Lanny. Oh, she's going for

16:50

the high score.

16:54

>> Dang.

16:56

>> Oh, I will play ski ball all day. And

17:00

they had really retro old ski ball

17:03

machines. Matt kind of had to pry me

17:05

away at a certain point because I just

17:07

kept going and going and going and going

17:10

trying to beat my high [music] score.

17:13

>> There we go.

17:14

>> 390 knew me better.

17:17

Matt is very good at Pac-Man.

17:21

Wow. He was trying really [music] hard

17:23

to beat high score at Pac-Man and came

17:25

very close.

17:28

You won.

17:30

It was cool to go there and just have

17:32

fun and feel a little bit like a kid

17:34

again. That was surprisingly so fun. I

17:38

loved the coin arcade. They had a really

17:41

good mocktail menu and that place was

17:43

really cool. Hi guys.

17:46

How's it going?

17:48

>> Good.

17:49

>> How was it?

17:49

>> It was fun. What's the matter?

17:54

>> You want McDonald's? Oh my gosh. Coming

17:58

[music] back. Everything was in one

18:00

piece. They behaved especially well

18:02

[music] while we were gone.

18:04

>> We all have so many leftover quarters

18:05

from

18:06

>> I know. We got $20 worth of quarters.

18:09

Look, there's our Mrs. Pac-Man. That's

18:11

how dad's so good at it. He almost got

18:14

the high score. Oh my goodness. I heard

18:16

you were break dancing, Henry. Was he

18:19

having a dance party?

18:20

>> We were so good.

18:22

>> The reason I love to do this and the

18:24

reason we do things like this so often

18:26

is [music] because it gives us ideas

18:28

we've never had and it opens our eyes to

18:31

new experiences and just being a little

18:33

more whimsical and go with the flow,

18:37

which is something every parent needs to

18:40

[music] embrace to a certain level, I

18:42

think, especially when you have multiple

18:44

kids. Before I end this video, can we

18:46

have another moment for the hair? I love

18:48

it so much. The layers, the color,

18:50

[music] I just love it. But that's all

18:52

for now. Overall, that was such a fun

18:55

date night. None of which would have

18:56

happened if I hadn't let [music] the

18:57

kids play it. So, I really, really

19:00

enjoyed the evening. I'm so grateful

19:02

that Jackson babysat and [music] had

19:04

such an easy time of it. He's just such

19:06

a rock star and everyone behaved. So,

19:09

that's all for now. I'm Hannah. And if

19:11

you have any other video ideas, get me

19:12

on Instagram. Leave them in the

19:14

comments. If you have any thoughts,

19:16

opinions on the hair, the [music] date,

19:20

whatever, leave it in the comments as

19:21

well. My eyelids have not had eyes

19:24

shadow on them in who knows how long.

19:26

They're not used to it. I got to wash my

19:28

face. Till next time.

Interactive Summary

Hannah decided to let her children plan both her new haircut and color, as well as her upcoming date night with her husband. At the salon, the kids chose a darker shade with pink highlights and layers for Hannah's hair. They also got to pick temporary hair streaks for themselves, with Henry choosing blue and Lenny choosing pink. For the date night, the children selected Hannah's outfit (a black dress chosen after a dramatic voting process), '80s-themed makeup, jewelry, and cologne. Their 14-year-old son, Jackson, who is Red Cross certified, capably babysat his siblings. The date night involved a surprisingly simple but enjoyable trip to the Costco food court, followed by a fun evening at a retro '80s arcade bar. Hannah was pleasantly surprised by her children's thoughtful choices, which ultimately created a fun and unique experience for her and her husband.
