When was the last time I waited 9 days between blog posts? Ha! I’ve been enjoying life rather than writing about it for the past week. Last Sunday morning, I gave my whole family hair cuts. First Jay, then Rose, and then Jeff. Buzz, snip, buzz. It was a the most productive Sunday morning that we’ve ever had. What now, 1pm church?
Jay, as usual, hated his haircut. He didn’t cry the entire time for once (only for part of it). He said “I’m not very happy right now!” when I started buzzing. Jeff’s haircut was a piece of cake after two kids. What does that expression really mean anyways? I’ve got two ideas: 1. making a cake is easy (NOT true) and 2. eating a piece of cake is easy (that depends on who made the cake). Well, Jeff sat still and didn’t cry, so his haircut was the fastest and easiest. I even managed to angle the boys’ hair so the top part is longer than the back part. Whew! But I have no pictures of their hair yet.
Rose’s hair was getting quite long and stringy. This was only her second-ever hair cut in her whole life! She felt very special sitting on the stool before her haircut, but once I started snipping, she said “ow!” and kept moving away from the snip-snip sound. When I explained that it doesn’t hurt to get your hair cut off, but it does make a funny noise, she moved a little less. It was still a miracle that I got it mostly even though.
Jeff and Jay left to go home teaching before I could corral them into some cute pictures. Rose was not so lucky. Photo shoot!
That reddish mark above her eye is from a few days before when she got her head stuck between the wall and the fridge while trying to reach something. Tragic but hilarious all at once.
