BUZZZZ!!!!

So its been about 7 weeks since the boys' last hair cut & it was coming time that we needed to go again.  Jeff & I were having the conversation today about cutting back on spending this year (do all couples discuss that every January??)  And we said we'll have to get a good clippers so we can buzz the boys' hair this summer.  Jeff has one, but its old & not very nice.  (Like you have to keep it plugged in or the battery will die old.)

BUT... we got a wild idea to give it a whirl today with his old one.  Why not?  We've got no where to go & its just little boys' hair...it will grow back fast!  Get them all ready for, er, winter?

So we each grabbed a drink & went to work....

Gave them suckers like they do at Family Fun Cutz. Hayden actually sat awesome! Logan I don't have pictures of, because he sat on my lap.

 

 Livi wanted hers cut too.  To try to help them not be scared, we told them the clippers was like a blow dryer, because it makes a similar noise & they are all about Livi's toy blow dryer since Christmas.  So she said all evening "Cut a Ya-ya hair, like a blow-dryer!"

 Her little mullet is out of control too.  If it wasn't so curly I would have to cut it.  And if that cowlick wasn't so major, I'd give her some real bangs.  On the sides its finally to the bottom of her ears when its straight.  But look how long it really is in back!!!!  Oh my gosh!

 But then it does this... Carole Brady style...

 And ends up like this!

I hope it stays that way as she gets older!!

Back to the boys.  So its a LOT shorter than I had envisioned.  A lot.  And because its so short now & so blond it looks so thin!  We have to figure out how to make it longer on top & in the front if we are actually going to keep doing this.  But it wasn't a total failure, we saved $40 & they are pretty cute despite!

Logan

He had a fever over the weekend, nothing major.  And today his face, chest, belly & back are completly covered in a rash.  But he acts 100% fine.  I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but in person he looks pretty rough.  Who knows with kids?  Who knows?

A few little rocky spots there on the back left.  But in Jeff's defense, he did not sit very still.  You don't see them in person like you do in this picture.  But if thats the worst of it for our 1st go, not all that bad, right? 

We are also practicing drinking from big boy/big girl cups.  Santa brought us these in our stockings.

They do well with the actual DRINKING part.  Its the putting them down nice.  Not putting food in them.  Or copying your sibling when an oops happens thing that keeps us primarily with sippies still.

 2 buzzed boys, a mullet girl & a brown haired mommy reading on the couch before bed.  See they all 3 still kinda-sorta fit on my "lap" to read to them!

They have grown just a little bit since last fall!! 

{But now the boys' hair looks about the same!  Ha!}
