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!
