Haircut Day

Taking a photography class has really made me dislike the photos that I get from my point-and-shoot camera so much more. This is a picture of my big boys playing Planets vs. Zombies on the iPad while Eric is getting his hair cut. Anthony and Alex LOVE this game and they were excited about teaching their father how to play. Natalie hasn't played the game but she likes to tell people who are playing the game how to play it. Eric likes to hum the tune that plays in the background while the game is playing.

All of the kids got haircuts this morning. I let the boys decide when to get their hair cut this summer instead of me automatically making an appointment for them every 4-6 weeks. They finally decided to get their hair cut this week after 2 1/2 months! *GASP* Natalie has been asking to get her hair cut, but since she is trying to "grow out" her hair, she didn't mind waiting so they could all go at the same time. Eric gets his hair cut at a different place (where he can ride on Lightning McQueen while getting his hair cut) and he did so well that it only took 10-15 minutes. No tears or tantrums this time. He's getting so grown up!

After Eric's haircut, we all went to see Toy Story 3 as a family. We don't see many movies at the theatre and now we remember why. It cost $42 for matinee movie tickets. Ouch! We all enjoyed the movie, though, and Eric sat very still for the whole movie, very much unlike his big sister did at this age. He did sit on my lap or Patrick's lap the whole time, but he didn't wiggle much at all. We think that meant that he loved the movie too.
