If Jessa isn't pregnant, that is just a really unflattering dress.  I thought she was supposed to be the "fashionable" one?

Umm no she’s the one having a love affair with the ugly mustard cardigan

Jessa's pimping out the boys' haircut video again. Gotta keep the cash coming in...

 

Why does she want him to look like an accountant?

[galaxychaser]

Henry looks so much better! 
 

[Jynnan tonnix]

I'm kind of partial to the longer hair on him...maybe if the new cut didn't look quite so slicked back? I don't know. In any case, it will dry/fluff out a bit/grow soon enough, so as long as he likes it, I'm happy.

It looks to me like the classic young Howler haircut.  She does what she knows.

My mother would have my brother's hair cut like that. She called it the Prince Charles hair cut. She would always say he was her little prince.

I agree. I much preferred him before.

Me too! I like the longer hair on little boys. I hate the slicked back 20 something job seeker look. He'll have enough time to sport that one as an adult. 

[GeeGolly]

Its summer, Henry's haircut probably feels cooler and cleaner. Jessa never goes too short, so it will long again soon enough.

I do hope Henry has the opportunity to look for a job, but with Ben as a role model that is not likely to happen.

Maybe he’ll be inspired by Jessa’s hustle.

Henry's haircut is the classic Howler look. And, IIRC, Izzy and Sam's haircuts were NOT like that - they were able to have shorter hair but it was more spikey. Henry seems to have curlier hair like Spurge, so the haircut that Izzy and Sam had may not work as well for him. Still, though, I would imagine there are many other ways for little boys to wear short hair.

[BitterApple]

I think the longer hair suits Henry's face better, but the shorter hair makes more sense for summer.

He will be balding at 18 and job what’s that? I wish what you said would come true though

 You know, a job is where you’re completely financially dependent on your parents. Get cracking Jessa and Ben!  What, you thought your family would be different? 

[Sew Sumi]

 

[galaxychaser]

That seems like an injury waiting to happen!

 

[Ljohnson1987]

Jessa... Safety should come before a photo op. Yikes! 

[Sew Sumi]

Mem'ries...

 

[QuinnInND]

Yes, Jessa. Let the kids stand on the couch, windowsill etc. Smh. 

[GeeGolly]

What's the giant white thing going across the ceiling? Is something plugged into it. Or could it be curtains or blinds that run across the entire wall?

Or maybe, just maybe its shadows and my old lady vision, playing tricks on me.

 Lighting system for where they film the show? There is a similar one in the big house. I’m pretty sure the Goslin’s had one installed during their run, too. 

 But they’re not a TV family, they’re just a family that happens to be on TV

Exactly!

[Jynnan tonnix]

I guess it's just me, but those kids don't really seem to be in imminent danger of falling from their respective perches, neither do I see anything all that threatening if they were to tumble against it...Possibly the bookshelf, but it would probably be just as easy for one of them to give themselves a knock on the head it they tripped and fell against it while playing on the floor.

[Nysha]

They could fall through the window. I'm usually pretty easy going about kids climbing, but on the window sill.

This is a Duggar we’re talking about, since when did they give a damn about safety? Anyway they have Jesus so everything will be ok.

If the windows are installed correctly, and they're not leaning on the window itself, that shouldn't be a problem. But either way, they shouldn't be on the windowsill.  They could fall off backwards trying to get down, and wind up cracking their head on the floor. 

[GeeGolly]

Safe or unsafe, I taught my kids not to climb on the furniture in the house. They all had step stools they could drag anywhere. In a pinch they could use a dining room chair backed up to the counter or wall. My kids had free rein of the house, but within respectable limits.

[FizzyPuff]

In the video she shows a photo of her Ben, Jana,Laura,Jinger,Jeremy,Mechelle and JB and Ivy meeting John McArthur and his wife (I assume) says it was such a blessing or some nonsense. I didn’t know she cared about him and his views.

To be honest, I wouldn't be that surprised if JB and Michelle steered away from Gothard, especially if they find MacArthur appealing. I always thought that the Bateses and Pecan Thief were more steeped in Gothard and IBLP than the Duggars TBH. Replace one cult leader with another.

She’s gone and posted ANOTHER poop pic. Girl likes humiliating others.

They just spoke at the IBLP camp meeting last week. They're still as Gothardized as ever.

Ben's hair may be longer than his sister's. 😱

My first thought was she looks like Edward Furlong from the Terminator.

Ben's sister is really pretty and she has the face to pull off that hair cut.

I know all kids play, but when I see someone in this family make a comment like "Spurgeon enjoys constructing roadways and cities." it breaks my heart because there is no way (with the education in this family) he will ever be an engineer or an architect.  He probably wouldn't even be able to work on a construction crew because he would need to report to someone else - maybe even a woman. 

I love Jessica's haircut.  I am jealous of women who can wear their hair short that way. I have a round face and glasses, so I need longer hair.

My thoughts exactly about Spurgeon. He probably won't even hear the words engineer or architect or know such jobs exist. 

I'm jealous of women who can pull off short hair too. But I'm oval shaped. Round faced girls can pull off any hairstyle. Go for it.

FWIW, I also have a round face and glasses. Well, I have a face that is somehow both round and square because I inherited my dad's face. LOL

I stayed away from short hair for years because I assumed I'd look like a dude, but I had a really good hairdresser who gave me a cut that is flattering. I can't go too short, but definitely chat with a hairstylist about it. They might surprise you (in a good way!) 🙂 

Back on topic: I really liked Jessica's hair too. 😄

I look awful with too short hair--- another round face here! Between the ages of 3-4 I had a very short haircut. I remember people saying I was a boy 😞

Not the Aldi brand. Jessa, you're wasting money!

I'm sure the agenda was to make Henry look bad.

That's because the picture is from Ben. That's why there's no agenda.

But holy crap the arm belongs to Ivy? I thought it was Spurge!

[Sew Sumi]

She's a little potato linebacker.

[BitterApple]

Ivy is a ginormous baby. I thought it was Spurge's arm as well until I read the caption.

Maybe Ivy will be 6 feet tall who knows. She does look huge.
