A New Do!

Natalie and Amanda had their first hair cut today! I would love to keep it long, but they refuse to keep their bangs clipped back so we decided it was time to get a little trim. We talked about doing this for DAYS in advance to prepare them for it and so when Saturday morning came and we asked them if they wanted to go get their hair cut, they excitedly said YES! I asked them if they wanted bangs like mommy's they said YES. So, off we went. Here they are walking into the salon, excited about the prospect of a haircut.


A close up "before" shot for both of them, Natalie first then Amanda. I'm sure you'll agree they were in need of hair cuts after looking at these photos!

Here they are getting their hair cut. They decided it was not as much fun as it sounded like in advance, but they were both troopers. Natalie shed a few tears. Amanda, on the other hand, was so excited about getting a sucker that she did not cry, but she still was not too terribly happy when the cutting began as you can see.

But, she did get to sit in a cool car for her cut.

Here is Natalie wondering what the heck that lady was doing to her!

And here she is looking pretty sad.

Will watched in earnest, but no hair yet to be trimmed on his head!

But, alas, the torture ended quickly! Here are a few shots of the finished product. Natalie and mommy first followed by mommy with both girls (who would not look at the camera).

Finally, here a few shots from later in the day with the girls hard at play and one of Daddy and Will just hanging out.
