Hair Cuts and Cruising in Style

All the boys have made a trip into town so I have a few minutes to post an observation. Yesterday was the big coat buying excursion. The boys hair seems to grow amazingly fast and Mike needed a haircut so we made a detour to Great Clips.

I explained to the boys what we were going to do at this "store". Lucas grins, Eli could have cared less. Mike told them he'd get a hair cut too. Eli's head came up so fast I was surprised he didn't give himself whiplash.

We explained to the ladies working there that this was their first "American" hair cut and that they have very little English. Wow! They had the best time. Mike went first and Eli watched. Lucas went next and Eli watched. When the next lady was ready for him he was a little shy so she set him in a chair next to Lucas who by now was turning his head this way and that way looking in the mirror with this huge grin. He looks over at Eli, nods his head and tells him, "This is good!" Up Eli climbed into the chair where she put the cape around his neck. All it took for a smile was for him to see penguins on that cape. (He loves penguins)

As they finished up the haircuts the stylists put wax in their hair. Oh my goodness. Mike has a flattop and the boys hair with aid of the wax looked like his. Lucas turns around to the mirror, makes this big O with his mouth, looks at Eli and says - "Look, like DADDY!" Whereupon, Eli flips around to the mirror gets the same O expression and turns around and runs to Mike to show him that now his hair stands up like Daddy's. Little do they understand, Mommy has to learn how to use the wax and for those of us who are hairstyling impaired well it's not easy, ok?
