a stylist...

This has been a LONG week. We ended up staying at Grandma's longer than anticipated. My hair was telling me "I need a haircut" SO Daddy made me a hair appointment since she lives closer to civilization than we do. Grandma & I trekked down to the mall with the tribe for me to accomplish this task. Finding a place that gives a good cut & is reasonable is VERY hard to find! While there we decided to get the girls haircuts too. This was their very FIRST haircut at a REAL salon. I cannot believe how well they behaved. I have taken their brother to get his hair cut & he did not behave as well. In fact he shed quite a few tears! Pat, my hair stylist, brought out kid sized robes & a booster seat for them to sit on. They climbed up & sat perfectly. Wouldn't you know I forgot about needing to take pictures until AFTER Camryn had hers cut! arghh...




I do not even think they really needed me to be there except I wanted those pictures!!! Trust me I took plenty! (= They ended up getting about an inch taken off their back as well as getting their bangs trimmed up! They SO needed this! I must say that they looked SO cute when she was done! Once Lindsey was finished Pat made sure each one of them got a lollipop for their effort. That was all they cared about! They kept their eyes on the prize & were quite happy once they had a sucker in their mouth! Even Brendan who did NOT get his hair cut got one! He enjoyed that perk! (=


I think after seeing Pat cut their hair with scissors they finally realized exactly what they were for. They were a well hidden secret till today! Well you know how they say "knowledge is power", Miss Camryn took it literally. You see today while I was changing Avery's diaper Camryn found Mommy's scissors & proceeded to "trim" Lindsey's hair. Yes she cut a few strips of hair off someones head! After process of elimination I know it was Lindsey she sheared by the color & length of the pieces I found. For the life of me I cannot find where on Lindsey's head she cut it from! I guess since her hair still looks good we could say that Camryn might have a future being...

they had a few hairs cut!!

Tonight all the babies all got their hair cut. They NEEDED it! But Brendan needed it the most! Their Aunt Haidee was kind enough to be their hairdresser. I must say that they were not happy campers! Brendan screamed like he was being stabbed or better yet cut by the scissors. I think it must have been the sound of the scissors opening & closing that freaked him out or at least that is what I hope it was. This was not his first haircut either! Avery stood around like she was "supervising" to make sure her siblings were well taken care of. She seemed SO concerned when Brendan started crying. It made me feel good knowing that she cared that he was upset. I mean she is usually the one that teases him so for her to worry means that she does love him after all! hahah! The funny thing is that she had NO clue that she was next "victim" & would be getting her bangs cut! So I had to hold her, against her will, just so the cut would be even. I learned a new trick. Place a piece of scotch tape on the bangs so when you cut the bangs they will be even, Neat huh?! The trickss we moms have to do! (= I must say that after it was all said & done they looked EXTRA CUTE! We can now see Camryn's BIG brown eyes, Brendan is as handsome as ever & the twins look really different now that they have bangs. They look SO grown up & Brendan, well he must feel lighter than air since he had SO much hair cut off. His new "do" looks SO adorable! He really looks like a totally different child. I think he looks more like my oldest brother Jim. It's VERY weird how a hair cut can change everything! Of course I took plenty of pictures to share with everyone! I am just SO happy to FINALLY say that...
