Braving It

I did it.

I cut my childrens hair.

They didn't come out too badly, either!

It all started with Sam saying "Wow, Sarah. You need a hair cut!" She jumped up and down with excitement at the idea.

Finances being what they are, we can't afford to bring them to a salon, so I decided to give it a whirl. And now, Sarah has bangs and we cut a good six inches or so off her length. When I finished with her, she was so pleased that she was beaming. Katie said "My turn!"

Well, I wasn't planning on doing much to her hair, but she asked to have it cut short. So I took a deep breath and did it for her. And Josie asked for the same as Katie except just a little bit longer. So I did it.

We can no longer put Katie or Josie's hair up in a pony tail, but pig tails just barely work. Headbands are lovely, as are barrettes. And I'm pretty sure I just cut our hair washing time in half. I'll let you know later. And maybe, if I can figure out how to get them off the big camera, I'll even post a few pictures of them for you :)

Now, does anyone have any recommendations on how or where to learn more about cutting my childrens hair? This might become a common thing around here and I'd really like to feel like I have a clue!
