Haircuts

Today was haircut day. DH got his hair cut a few days ago and meant for the boys to get their haircuts at around the same time, but it's been tough with all of the practices and activities. Anyway, after church, I was going to take the boys to get their haircuts.

I mentioned to DD about getting a trim because her ends were getting a bit scraggly. At first she didn't want to go, but then she decided that not only was she going to get her hair cut, but she was going to get it cut short, like chin-length. I have to admit that that statement made me pause. I decided that her hair grows fast and that she could always grow it back again. I did make her settle for shoulder-length, however, so we could still put it in a ponytail for dance and gymnastics. This was the before picture.

This was the after picture. It's in a ponytail here, but the hairdresser cut a good 6-8 inches off. I do think it looks cute, especially because it has a little natural wave and the shorter length and lighter weight brings that out a little more. DD is so excited about it. She keeps talking about how no one at school will probably notice, but at the same time, I just know that she's going to point it out to them! ;-)

Of course, with the older boys and DD leaving the house, DS#3 fussed at being left behind. What else could I do but take him along too? He is such a character when he sees the camera! I saw him swinging from a bar and I wanted to take a picture. He saw the camera and immediately gave me this cheesy little grin!

In the meantime, DH had some time alone at home, so he decided to clean out the hall closet and our closet and lots of other stuff. Wow, I should probably take the kids out more! :)
