Haircuts!

I'm not sure if you notice in the previous posts that my boys have been in desperate need of haircuts. Here are some pics that I took in the last few weeks...

This one reminds me of a "flock of seagulls" hair that was popular during some crazy time.

He was trying to eat his sandwich without using his hands... I'm not sure why. Do notice the "comb-over." Several family members commented on it over the Christmas break.

I love this picture. You can see Kyle is doing something that Bryce does not like and he is voicing his opinion to Kyle in the form of a whinny yell.
So cute... but like I said, so in need of haircuts! I have always given the boys haircuts. Since there are two of them now, I have to psych myself up for the event because neither of them care for it. I will say that I don't mind doing it in the summer when I can take them outside and just buzz it off, but I like to keep their hair a little bit longer in the winter to help keep their little heads warm. That didn't work this time, they were both so squirmy and whiny I just buzzed them both... I used the longest guard I had, but it is still pretty short. Here are the after pics:

Finally, looking somewhat presentable. The nice things about boys' haircuts, as Grandpa Laird states, the only thing separating a bad haircut from a good haircut is three days.

So cute...enjoyed your Christmas post too. I haven't tried buzz cuts yet, but for right now I just mesmerize them with some kid show that they haven't seen on youtube and they stay still enough! Grandpa Laird cracks me up! I hadn't heard that quote yet.

Yes, Grandpa Laird is the best. His little quotes crack me up. Someone should write a book with quotes from him and Grandma in them. It would be a best seller for sure.
Enjoyed the pictures! Looks like a fun Christmas break!

They look adorable! You did a great job! I am also a fan of 'buzzing' it off, even though I try to keep it longer in the winter, I just go for hats to keep his head warm when things go awry and it gets shorter than I'd hoped!
