Haircuts!

Finally, Ethan and Nathanial's hair grew out enough to go visit Barber John from the horrific cut they recieved this summer. They've actually needed cuts for a while, but today worked perfectly. They look like such big boys now!!

Buzzed Babies :-O

All the boys needed haircuts....bad. One problem was that their regular barber and my hair stylist (who does Nathanial and Ethan's) were both booked for a while. So, we had errands to run anyway, so I chose to take them to a "quick" place in Waterloo. All I can say is....NEVER AGAIN.


I explained to her that I just wanted "normal, little boy" haircuts for all four. I also explained how Austin's is a little tricky and you have to cut his shorter to get all the colics out or else it all sticks up. Surprisingly, Austin's turned out OK. Aidan's wasn't too awful, but that's because I watched like a hawk and didn't move from his side. Nathanial and Ethan's, on the other hand, were a complete disaster! The ONE thing I told her I DID NOT want was a butch. Guess what they ended up with???


Introducing....Brutis I and Brutis II :

(aka, Ethan)

(aka, Nathanial - please excuse the filthy little face)

And, so he doesn't feel left out, Noah is very pleased with his do...so much so that we just couldn't possibly take any off!

Thank goodness it wasn't their first haircut and that their hair grows super fast or I would really be torked!

Big Boys!

The triplets have their first birthday party on Sunday, so I decided they probably should look more like little boys than little girls. Today, they got their first "real" haircut. Nathanial was really very good and sat almost still, never tried to touch the scissors. Ethan was all over the place, including trying to grab the scissors. Nathanial and Ethan didn't even cry. Noah screamed through the entire thing....and he was just a witness! They do look much better now.

Haircuts!

Austin and Aidan were in desperate need of a good haircut. Their normal barber's mother passed away, so he was not available. I called my hairstylist and she was able to do it. When they go to "Barber John" with Steve, he takes a one-cut-fits-all approach, which makes me very happy because it's just a short little boy cut, nothing fancy. Austin has been begging for a butch for a long time, and I am vehemently opposed. I just don't like them. One day, he asked Barber John for one and he asked Austin to read the sign on the door. Austin said "John's Barber Shop." To which he replied, "Exactly...that means I pick the cut." I can send Austin in alone and know he's going to come out with the perfect cut.

This time, we all trouped into my salon. That was quite the experience. I generally go at night, so I don't have to take any kids and this time I had all five. Whew....never again! Aidan was first up. She cut it short, like I asked, but then she asked him if he wanted some colored gel and a spike. I really didn't think I would like it, but it is the cutest haircut he has ever had! It just suits his little personality. He has asked a few times since then to have me spike it (with orange gel) and while we don't have the orange gel, I have spiked it and it's adorable!

Austin's hair is a challenge for the most experienced of stylists. He does end up with a near-butch every single time we go in because at the crown of his head he has soooo many cowlicks, it's just a straight line of stick-up. It is also extremely thick and very wiry. This time, she used that to his advantage and also styled his into a spike. His isn't as obvious as Aidan's because his hair is so much thicker, but it looks really nice. He, though, doesn't like to do anything with his hair, so I have had to initiate the styling with him. The orange in his hair looked almost red and was really a nice color with how dark his hair is. I was surprised I didn't mind the orange! I let them both keep it in, too, for one night.

Big Boy Haircuts!

Ethan and Nathanial's hair has been getting crazy-wild lately, so tonight, we bit the bullet and cut it. I almost cried while doing it...it was so depressing! Now I am not sure it is any better, because now they look like they just have permanently spiked 'dos, but what is a girl to do? I can't afford beauty school, so this is as good as it gets for now! Oh, and Noah got his "before" and "after" shots taken, also...didn't want him feeling left out!
