Barber shop

We played "barber shop" at our house over the weekend. The boys were in desperate need of a hair cut and Thomas just comes out of the blue with, "Hey, I think I could cut their hair!"

I was too nervous to try myself because I didn't want to butcher their sweet locks, and have had exactly ZERO practice sessions of cutting hair. For goodness sake, I never even cut my Barbie's hair! Thomas was fearless though!

Out to the porch we went. I took some befores, durings and afters.

First up was Ryan. His mop was way overdue for a trim! He has such pretty hair - it's the most gorgeous color. It's mostly straight but will curl just a little every now and then.

Then it was William's turn. William's hair is the most like his Dada's. It's super thick and curly/wavy. It grows very fast, too.

AFTER - and it was very sunny!

So handsome!!

We had to go ahead and cut Stokes's hair, too, since his brothers got a trim. Stokes needed a haircut the least and his hair is mostly like mine - thin and grows slowly, but fortunately for him, it also has a little curl to it, whereas mine does not. Our experience so far is that he only needs to get his hair cut every other time his brothers go.

AFTER - and doesn't he look so serious?!

Granted, their haircuts are not going to win any awards and I don't think anyone would look at them and say, "Man, what a great haircut!", but the pre-mullets are gone, and we avoided the Lloyd Christmas look. Well done, Thomas, well done.

Maybe we'll get a professional hair cut every other time, just to make sure we aren't going too far off the rails!
