Hair Cut Day

i have taken Savannah to get her hair cut  BUT never Christopher.
Savannah knew how she wanted her hair cut - shoulder length with bangs. We had tried the full long style, but her hair fell over one eye all the time. And it was made lazier that before. So no hair over the eyes. I would have had it cut a little shorter but she got the length she wanted. She looks so cute with her hair that way. even if she didn't get to be first.

I was at Kim and Lakin's for dinner Memorial Day.  I called Christopher over to me. Now this is a kid that fights getting his hair cut - Clippers are noisy and pull his hair. So I had a deal for him. (Otherwise known as a bribe!!) If he would let Ms Jennifer cut his hair with scissors, the back and over his ears, WE would go to Toys 'R' US. His favorite store. He thought about it for a little bit, then agreed if she would not use the clippers. Ok so off we went to the French Twist Tuesday at 12:30. He still agreed then added that he would be first. ANY thing to get his hair cut. Well Jennifer was informed what she could or could not do. No clippers, cut around his ears and the back. He proceded to watch in the mirror to see if she was doing it right. He complained when she stepped in front of him and he couldn't see the mirror. Also "You are cutting the front!" I told him she had to do that so it would look good.
He made faces in the mirror and kept up running coments. Had the whole place in hysterics. Jennifer tries to talk him into using the tiny clippers she had. NO Way!!  So she continued on. She was cutting a little off the top when he spotted that. Another objection!! Told him she was just evening up, which she was as he had missed her cutting the top - too busy making faces.
He did real well and told her he would see her before school. Then was impatient for Savannah to get her hair cut so they could go to Toys"R" US.  Savannah has wanted walkie talkies for a while. Esp since her best friend moved to the other end of the street.  We usually have a $20 limit per kid when I take them. But I went over for her and got the Walkie Talkies. Much comparison and discussion. One would not talk far enough and one was too expensive. Christopher decided he wanted the same thing - but who wold he talk to?  He and his sister talked back and forth for a little bit.  If he had a set he would be interupting his sister all the time. So he finally found a set of 3  train cars he didn't have. I know the next time he will want walkie Talkies.
