First Haircuts

The mullets had to go. I was very nervous taking my baby girls in to get their haircut. It was long and scraggly and in their eyes. Kym and Noah inspired me to take the girls in. Noah sat in the chair for at least 10 minutes without a peep. My girls didn't have quite the same experince. I had Ellie go first because she tends to be more outgoing and fearless, not so much with the hair though. She was saying owie before we even started. (this may be because she had to get her flu shot a couple of weeks ago from a stranger). I held her in my lap and tried to keep her arms pinned to her sides. Not such an enjoyable experience, but now she can see.

Danielle opted to not even get out of the stroller. She stayed in the stroller and screamed instead. Luckily the lady was quick and just trimmed it up. It's amazing how different they look with just a little bit cut off the front and back. They still have mullets, but maybe not so scraggly?

I tried to get their pics. after, but they didn't want any pics. taken. They stood on their heads and ran away from me. Ellie tackled Brayden and wrestled for a while, avoiding me.

Last minute fun and a sad good-bye

We had such a fun weekend with Kym and her boys. It was sad to say good-bye and think that we won't see them for a year and a half! There were hugs all around, which was so sweet to see. The kids had a great time, but I think they were all getting tired of sharing and/or negotiating everything, especially Brayden and Elijah. Being the same age made it difficult to figure out who the boss is. :)

Elijah giving Ellie squeezes.

Noah even gave up hugs to Kent.

Before they left we decided it would be good to take all the kids to the park and let them RUN! It took at least 20 mins. to track down enough coats, hats and mittens, but we made it!

Waiting to head to the park.
