I Finally Did it!!

I broke down and got Cohen's hair cut. It was time as much as I hate to admit it. She didn't cut much - mainly just the front, which was way longer than the rest anyway since he never lost his baby hair there, and he hasn't lost his curls...yet.

He didn't mind it but was annoyed about her getting in the way of his balloon playing. We didn't catch great pictures at all but it's documented just the same...

I don't love it - but I never love hair cuts right away - there's nothing wrong with it - I just don't actually love the clean cut look - in a week or so, when it's gotten a little shaggy again, I'll be good to go with it. It is great to have it out of his eyes. I'll probably have to break down and take him back in to get the sides and back cut before too long or he'll end up with a "business in the front, party in the back" look!!!

The whole thing was quite the experience, though. Cort got his hair cut first - I can't even begin to think of how many haircuts he's had - his first one was at 9 months - that boy seriously has some hair!!! The place has 2 completely glass walls and while Cort was getting his hair cut this mamoth storm rolled in - the wind was CRAZY. It actually blew the door open and tons of leaves blew into the store.

Chris met us there after work to help with Cort, while Cohen got his hair cut and so did my friend Kelley since she lives right up the street. She ended up being able to get her 2 kid's hair cut too so it was a whole family and friend affair. Gotta love it, right?

We headed to a nutritious Pizza Inn meal afterwards. The kids had a blast!!

I'm like you. I like the shaggy look a coule of weeks after a haircut too! We saw your boys at Touch a Truck and I tought Cohen's hair looked adorable! I took one picture of Cort, but he was jumping too excitedly (on the back of a truck) so it came out blurry. Oh well!

I think Cohen's hair cut is adorable! Funny, but Brian likes Jackson to have shaggy hair, too! I cant stand it when it starts to grow so far over his ears, but Brian likes it that way! I always try to sneek in a trim here and there! The boys are just precious!

YEA Cohen! So cute with the new haircut!! Speaking of haircuts, your hair looks really cute in those pictures too, Em! I like it that length! I like your necklace too... is that the one I gave you? I can't remember exactly what it looked like, but I think it was similar...

I think you can see Cort's tonsils in that picture. At least HE does not have food in his mouth!
