Haircut Saturday {I & II}

Two Saturday’s in a row have produced haircuts for the kiddos.  Last Saturday Hudson and Solomon took their turn.  The barber shop was hoppin’ so Josh and the boys spent the better part of the day waiting their turn.  Sol hates…like super hates…getting his hair picked out.  It’s his arch nemesis, so we try to keep it relatively short.  Same with Huddy’s hair.  Plus, I like them with short cuts.  I feel like they both look way handsome.

Amon was a different story.  The longer the better was the story.  Josh Kelley has been saying for quite a while now that Amon needed a cut, but I stood by my no cut…ever, ever, ever.  He even threatened to cut it while I was in Africa and I told him I’d have the divorce papers drawn up.  Then as I stared comically horrified at his holiday hair it made me realize it really was time.  And then Susan put his hair in pig tails and he was adorable and looked straight up like Olivia from The Cosby Show and it further made me realize a hair cut was long overdue.

So we pulled another Saturday haircut day.  All the new haircuts going on made Harper want one too.  I’m one of those moms who lets their kids dress themselves…mismatched clothed children does not bother me…so when Harper said she wanted to chop her hair, I was totally good with it.  It’s just hair…just like it’s just clothes.  The end result was hair everywhere.

Amon did shockingly awesome.  He just sat up there for the longest time…even without a sucker.  He got a little fidgety, so I pulled out my trusty dum-dum.  He really did great.  And I only used two suckers.

The end results…goh!  I just can barely handle it.

Amon’s mullet, well, it’s no longer with us.  #restinpeace

And now all our kids look older and super fly.

Thank you Brooke for rockin’ those scissors so quickly and so well!

Happy Monday!

Boys & Haircuts

First of all, No we are not cutting Amon’s hair…never, ever, ever.  Not in my life time at least.  He will be Samson.  Except his power will be in his eyes.

Both Huddy and Sol have been long over due for haircuts.  We’re talking loooonnngggg over due.  I noticed Huddy’s hair this morning and decided today was the day.

Josh had part of the day off so he took the boys separately to get their cuts.  Huddy was up first and off to Great Clips he went.  When he came back he was a new man.  He seriously looked like a slick little dude.  He is just this crazy sweet-hearted child and now is looking as handsome as ever.

 

Sol was next.  Josh dropped Huddy off…treats were exchanged…and Sol was off to the barber.  The boys are not separate much, so Josh used this time to be one-on-one with each of them.  The only thing is Huddy missed Sol.  He kept asking when he was going to be done with his haircut and back home.  Truly he pestered the fire out of me, so finally we made a phone call and Huddy and Sol had a good brotherly kid chat on the phone.  It was hilarious.  I love them so very very much and it’s deep.

Sol got home a little later and was looking sharp.  Like seriously S.H.A.R.P.  Sol is the kid you just want to ball up into a cannon ball shape and carry in your pocket for good pursed lip kisses and tight hugs.  And he’s passionate as all get out.  Dude is looking good now.  Ladies beware.

That’s how our day rolled.  Nothing super spectacular or even crafty.  Just some cute little Kelley boys and new haircuts.  I’ll take it.

Happy Wednesday.
