Yes, I really did cut the girls' hair.

Jonathan is on another one of those 30 hour shifts.  I texted him that I had cut the girls' hair.  He was shocked, mainly because I've never cut anyone's hair...ever.  So I told him I would post pictures so he could see what a good job I did. Just in case he's a little worried.☺


Here's the deal.  Sami has started running away screaming again when she sees me with a brush and Janie's mullet was just getting to be too much.  If it wasn't pulled back, it didn't look good.  And all my friends cut their girls' hair!  So I thought, "why not save myself 30 dollars and cut it myself?"  I got the girls in their chairs, put on a Dora movie, and gave them each a popsicle.  I did actually think to myself that I should watch a you tube video on how to cut hair before I started, but the girls were ready so I just dove in.  I mean, hair always grows back, right?

And they were perfect! (I don't know why Cost Cutters doesn't give kids popsicles while they cut hair.  It would have saved Sami a lot of trauma.)  Sami's hair was a bit harder because hers is so thick and curls. But hopefully those same features will hide my mistakes.  I think they look so cute.  And if you sit behind me in church tomorrow and notice their hair is crooked or that I missed a spot, please try not to laugh too loudly until I walk away.  Thank you in advance.

I had to take their pictures while they were locked in their Bumbo chairs eating cookie dough because they have learned that I can see them from a cute little screen on the back of my camera.  So now they only want to stand beside me to see what I can see instead of in front of me so I can take their cute pictures. (And yes, Janie's apron is huge-more like a blanket- but Grandma is making her a matching one like Sami's and mine for Christmas!  She is going to love it! Then we will all be so cute and matching in the kitchen.)

Chrissy, you rock! The girls look adorable. I always cut my girls' hair until they got to be in middle school.
