Haircuts and Summer

I've been avoiding getting Peter's hair cut. I knew what the barber would say, buzz it. The thought of buzzing any part of his little head made me nervous. I went to the local "hairport" (clever name!) and told the nice woman to just trim around his ears and neck and that I wanted a "sweet layered look for the back". I'm not even sure what a sweet, layered look is but all the same that's what I wanted.

What I got was a woman telling me that it was not practical. That I would be back all the time, getting it trimed and touched up. I thought of Matt's reaction to me having to pay said woman every few weeks for haircuts for our SON. I knew what had to be done. We transformed this
into this
(Is three pictures enough?)

It did take me a while to get used to his short crop but it's growing on me. At least now he doesn't look like he's wearing a tupee. At least now, I won't hear giggling when we walk into church and his hair is floating 6 inches from his head. Now that I compare the two, I realize how bad it really looked! He's still cute.

And since it's getting warmer around these parts (FINALLY) we'll be going up to Midway a lot. Eating breakfast here
while looking out at this
and also doing a motherload of this
Peter has discovered the slide and in a way so has Roxie. She is such a nervous little lady that only recently has she decided that the slide is not scary and she will not fall off of it. Honestly. What am I do to with her? I'm just glad she's doing it. Heaven knows there's not enough room on my lap for the two of them.
