skin heads

I typically don't dig the buzz... but in the summer, it's the only way to go. No more bed-heads, a lot less sweat and a little more sunscreen. It's amazing how cute their expressions become when they're all FACE. I had to take close-ups just to show you how long their eyelashes are-- but because I am not a skilled photographer (and because I told them only ONE picture each) you can't really tell. One of these days- after the husband dies- I am going to put mascara on them. It's a shame to waste such gorgeous lashes on boys.

I cut everyone's hair at this house. I figure I can practice on them while they are young and when they're old enough, if they don't like what they get, they can go elsewhere. It's a touchy subject when cutting the husband's tho... I don't really like being responsible for his hair. He was cursed with hair that sticks straight up, no matter what you do.. so keeping it short is the best solution. Haircutting has to be frequent and even though it's saved us a few pennies over the years, it's also caused some fights. A couple of years ago, we resolved that spending the money for someone else to cut his hair was worth our marriage. He went into the salon, forked out the dough and asked me to fix it when he got home. He has been really nice ever since because I am telling you, his hair isn't easy to cut. Ben was lucky enough to be cursed with the same hair. I am crossing my fingers that he will marry someone as talented and patient as his mother.
