Hair

Bryton and Preston have been growing their hair out lately. It is currently in that awkward in-between stage where it just does it's own thing and basically sticks up everywhere.

Today B's hair was just spiky. Spiky all over. And I had a total flashback to when he was little and had the same crazy hair! 

Oh I miss that cutie on the right! Amazing the difference that 5 years makes!

Mohawks

Hair

My boys have generally always had long hair. Occasionally we have cut it short for summer, but the general consensus is that they like their hair longer. Well...DID like their hair longer.

Apparently that changed recently. Preston decided to give B & Arch haircuts. It was not pretty, and they managed to clog the bathroom drain doing it (because of course they would try to wash the hair down the drain...)

Anyway, we ended the day with mohawks x3. Well technically B's is a "faux-hawk" because he didn't have enough hair left for a traditional mohawk. They love them. I am guessing our long hair days might be over.

In other news, we are going on vacation!! A warm vacation! For 2 weeks!! I'm super excited & ready to get out of the snow, although we still have a little while to wait. At least it gives me something to look forward to.

Haircuts

Yesterday we took the boys to one of those "men's salons" to get haircuts. I CAN cut it at home, but I realllllllly don't enjoy it and they are much more cooperative when someone else is cutting their hair (plus I had just did a full scale house cleaning). When we got there, Archer started to feel a little left out, so he ended up getting his first real haircut. Admittedly, it was starting to get a little out of hand, and he has been called a girl more than once despite his distinctly boyish clothes. Also, he has been compared to Uncle Jesse's twins on Full House multiple times, and I remember thinking that their hair was borderline "too long" for boy hair...soooo...He got a couple inches off the back and trimmed up all around. He looks very grown up all the sudden and it's a little sad, but he definitely enjoyed his haircut and Henry Weinhard's root beer!

A Month of Hair

Bryton had the BEST bed-head this morning.  I took a few pictures, and when I went to upload them I realized that it had been a while and the camera had quite a few pictures on it.  Then I started looking at the pictures.  It's official.  My boys' hair is COMPLETELY out of control. 

The only way we can keep it somewhat under control is to buzz it, but they like "long hair" and hair is not really something that we choose to fight over.  Plus, when it's buzzed, we have to cut it about every 2-3 weeks in order for it to be short enough to stay under control and they HATE home haircuts.  Really really hate them.  Preston claims to be scarred by an incident where we "forced" him to cut his hair about 2 years ago (what happened was that he wanted his hair cut, so we started cutting it...and he wanted us to stop after one swipe.  Not going to happen.  So we persevered, and apparently the rest is history).  So you do the math.  $10 per kid per hair cut every couple of weeks = lots of $.  Incidentally, they love going to get their hair cut.  I've tried it all (many, many bribes.  I'm not above bribing in these situations!) and no luck.  They still despise having their hair cut at home.

Anyway, enough justifying.  Check out their hair styles from the past month!

Okay, so this one was actually helped along by the static, but still...

2 out of 3 with crazy hair.  Archer's hair is definitely crazy in the making, it just hasn't quite gotten there yet.

P&B having a little game time.

B's hair this morning!
