Zach was up first. I've been cutting his hair for some time now and although he complained the whole time (which is normal), we got it done fairly quickly and it turned out great.
Love that smile!
I love the back, especially when the bottom is so short! I also love his major cowlick - it's so prominent and fun to deal with when trying to comb the hair down!
Next up was Hailey. I usually have a friend down the street cut her hair, but I had tried to trim it myself last time (with somewhat successful results) and because we waited so long to get it cut this time around, I decided to try it again - after all, how hard would it be to just cut it short and straight?
Well, as I learned nearly 30 minutes later - QUITE DIFFICULT and that I can really make it look HORRIBLE in just a short amount of time! So after feeling frustrated, having her wash it, letting it dry, and all the while praying that it would look better any minute, I realized I had really made a mess of it. So I desperately dialed my friend down the street, tried not to cry as I admitted what I had done, and begged some time from her to fix it. Graciously, she told me to bring her right down. My wonderful friend put aside everything she was doing on her Saturday night to fix my mistake and after another 30 minutes, she had worked a miracle! She made it look wonderful and we finally felt like we had a haircut that we could be proud of! Here it is (I didn't even take pictures of my attempt because that is NOT something I'm proud of and want to remember!):
She wanted it really short, so by the time Tiffani fixed my mess, it was really short - but she loves it!
We decided to try a headband for church yesterday - it looked cute, but we found out that it's hard for a little girl to keep it in place and looking good, so we probably won't be using that again! But she did look cute.
This isn't the best picture of the back, she had slept on it weird overnight, but it does show how short it ended up.
Whew - what a day! One thing I learned - there are just some things that I can't do - one of those is cutting my daughter's hair! I don't think I'll be attempting that again any time soon!
So, with much drama and many thanks to a wonderful friend, we finally ended up with hair ready for school!

It's short, but it's totally adorable on her! I love love love it! She looks so grown up though with that short hair cut. The headband is cute.
