First Haircuts!!!

So, we finally got the kids their first haircuts. It was a harrowing experience for all (not really). The lady at the front desk recommended that they kids sit on their own rather than in my lap. Not a good idea...Matt freaked out as soon as possible and Hailey was like a little spider monkey holding onto Grandma. We shortly decided that it would be best that the butchers/stylists do their job with the kids on our laps.

I couldn't actually take pictures during the haircuts as I had Matthew plastered onto my lap (occasionally stopping to "talk" to the lady in the next chair) and couldn't move my arms. I was pretty busy holding his head still with every muscle in my body. That kid has one strong neck! The ladies did the best they could with a moving target. I gotta give a lot of credit to a hairstylist who has enough cojones to take on a baby! It's hard!!!

So, here are the before/after pictures of my little kids. You'll notice that the last one depicts Hailey as a cast member from the movie Dumb and Dumber...I can't stop seeing it...I know it's mean and there wasn't much they could do with her hair, but I just think it's funny! Special thanks to Grandma for her help...couldn't imagine doing this alone!

Before...you'll notice that Matthew's hair is just gross and greasy and that Hailey is sporting the Behive in the Back look...very nice.

Ummm...yeah...that is hair with Beef Stroganoff in it. When you can use food as a styling product (and it works quite well), it's time for a trim!

We sit through that and all we get are these stupid certificates? I don't know if it was worth it! What do you mean, "next time we don't get anything?" Who does that to little kids???

After: What a handsome boy!

After: Happy Girl!!!

Haha...Dumb and Dumber, right? It's ridiculous!!!
