Hair Trauma

This has been an eventful week for the children and their hair. On Tuesday Andi was playing with her bubble blower gun and got the front of her hair tangled in it. This has happened once before, and I had to trim half a centimeter off her hair to get it out. On this day however, Andi decided she could fix this herself and took her little craft scissors to the front of her hair, without even letting Mommy know there was a problem. Needless to say I called/facebooked Kassi immediately and we got Andi's hair fixed Today. Her first real hair cut at the big girl salon.  Here is the damage she inflicted. Really it could have been much worse.


And here is a shot after our trip to Kassi.



She was able to turn it into swoopy bangs and blend it in nicely. Andi of course asked her to curl it like princess hair, so she did. The new problem, Andi had such a good time getting her hair done that on the way home she said: "Mom, next time I get a toy in my hair and cut it we can come see Kassi again." To which I said, "You will never cut your own hair again. If anything gets stuck you come tell Mommy, and if you want to come to Kassi and get your hair cut we will talk about it." I might have created a little hair diva. ugh!
Sam has been in need of a hair cut for a while now. Aunt Tenille has trimmed it for him twice, but it grows so quickly, and is so thick, that he sweats constantly. It's not even hot here yet, and his head is always a gross sweat ball. So we took the clippers to him and cut off about 3 inches. It was so long and fluffy and full I was sad to see it go. Mostly because he looks like a big boy now instead of a little toddler/baby.
Here is a before of Sam doing his best Tommy Calahan impression(another reason we cut it).


And a couple of afters. I have yet to get a really good shot of it, because he won't hold still! This is combed with a little spikeage in front. The "Church look".


And here is all spiked, which is kinda funny and he won't be wearing out any place.


In other news Sammy had his 18 month check up this week as well and as usual, is a beast. 31 lbs, 36 inches he is in the 94% for weight and above the 97% for height.
Tanya and Billy and Cole were in town last weekend, and though we of course took zero pictures, we had a good time hanging out with Thads fam for a few days. We took updated grandchildren pictures Saturday night, had a birthday dinner for Grandpa Sam and Savannah Sunday, and then had a BBQ at the park Monday. We know how to party ;)

I think Andi is already showing a great talent for hair cuts. It could have been a lot worse! Sammy looks so big. I love that you have a "church look" too!

You know it could have been worse. When I was her age my Mom cut my hair all cute right before we would go for our annual trip to Utah to see family. When she would put me down for a nap I would go in her bathroom and cut my bangs off. Like all the way off. A lot of my preschool pics I look like a total dork.
