haircuts

last evening, in preparation of school starting this week - the kiddos got haircuts!

jaden's cut wasn't too eventful - daddy just gave him his usual buzz cut & edged him up

gabby has had her hair cut twice before, but it was getting pretty long again & she was due

this was actually corinn's 1st haircut ever!!!

before we look at the haircut pics, let's first remember the beauty of corinn's long locks....
(these pics were taken just sunday)

sleeping beauty
jumping beauty
wait corinn, where'd ya go?! ~lol~

it was definitely time - and she was PSYCHED!

my cousin, tiffany, did the honors - and what a great job! we met her at the shop that she works at here & there, after it had closed (which was really nice)

corinn went first....
shampoo

then cut - here goes the pony tail

and it's off!
look at that grin!

almost done


ta da!
omg - is it just me? or did she just instantly grow up about 2 more years?!
~sniffle, sniffle~


ok, gabby's turn


she's a pro already


ok, and again - where did my little girls go?
i didn't walk in with these 2!!!


and look at these tails - man, all the hair!


they could-not-wait to get home & show daddy!
he used to hate the idea of cutting their hair, but after seeing the tears & drama we go through on a regular basis, with brushing/styling/etc.....and after having the girls request to get it cut over & over again, he was finally on board - and he LOVES their new cuts too! :0)

after it had dried, and they got to try out hair bands in their new dos, they wanted me to take their pics again - those hams!







don't ya just wanna squeeze em?! ;0)

Wow! That's a lot of hair! Their cuts look so cute! They are nice young ladies now with their stylish do's.

They look long enough to go to "locks of love". Is that why you had them cut pony tailed? Javi's step mom and her sister just donated their hair about a week ago, and my cousin's five year old daughter just did it a month ago. It was her first hair cut too.

They look adorable. No matter how old they get they will always be our babies!!

They look so good, and so much alike!

shanna - yeah, i saved the pony tails for that purpose - wasn't sure if they were long enuff or not...i've donated mine before (i had really long hair back when jaden was little) & some salons will even take care of the donation for u...the pony tail has to be 10 inches long & the girls' is just under that (well, corinn's is long enough when you stretch out the curls)...i'm going to send them anyway & hopefully they can use them - if not, i guess the worst thing will be that they toss it - so it's worth a shot

I meant to say they are nice young ladies and not little girls anymore ;)

I think it just has to be 10" stretched when it's curly. Javi's step-mom had tight spirals. I don't think that she could have donated 10" curled. Like you said, it's worth a shot. Even if it's a bit short.

My hair didn't grow when I was preggers with Kay. I really wanted to donate it then, because that is usually the only time it grows like a weed.
