First Haircuts

Posted on February 22, 2016January 29, 2017 by Andi

Maddie got her first haircut. You read that right. She’s 5 and she just got her first haircut. I wasn’t ready to cut her hair. But then it’s been so hard to manage lately and it made her so upset to brush her hair, I knew it was time. So we took her in to get a haircut. Here are before and after pictures.

When I first looked at the pictures it didn’t look like she had very much cut off. But then we did a side-by-side picture and when you look where the bottom of her shirt is, you can see that quite a bit was taken off. Smile

It’s so much nicer now and so much more manageable. I know I should have done it sooner, but now she has more crazy mom ammunition for later in life.

And as if cutting Maddie’s hair didn’t send me over the edge, I decided to get Alex’s hair cut as well. And Alex went first, so the 15 month old got a haircut before the 5 year old. You can call me ridiculous now. Smile

Maddie was a trooper and didn’t make a peep or anything. Alex, well, he cried the whole time. But he was mostly mad that I was holding down his hands. He calmed down as soon as he got the plastic cover off him and I let him out of the chair.  Here are his before and after pictures.

I wanted him to have a mohawk, but knew that I wouldn’t keep it up and style it everyday, so I had her keep it longer, but she still styled it that way for me. By the time we got home, though, the mohawk had fallen down. Here’s one I snapped before we left.

This place saved a clipping of their hair in a little envelope. The lady who did Maddie’s hair commented that was one of the biggest amounts of hair they cut for a first haircut. Haha.

Overall, it wasn’t as traumatizing for me as I thought it would be. And now I can brush Maddie’s hair without a fight and Alex just looks like a little man. Smile Now maybe just another year or two before Dannie gets her first haircut. Smile

We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends join We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends joined us for trick or treating. 

Alex was a hotdog/skeleton, but took off his mask because he couldn’t see, Dannie was a zombie unicorn and Maddie was a Care Bear. 

Maddie did Dannie’s makeup and Chuck modified a lighted horn we had used in the past for her costume. 

Maddie did her makeup and all her friends were various Care Bears, too. 

The kids got a ton of candy, visited lots of houses, needed to perform a few tricks for their treats and traded candy. 

My kids generously gave me loads of butterfingers. They love me! 

I even found some selfies on my phone the next day. 🎃🧡
Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anni Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary a couple days early at the Wild game over the weekend. My work got a suite and we had a wonderful time! 

The game was quite exciting! We were down 0-3 in the first 9:00 of the game, then came back to win it in a shootout in overtime! 🎉🏒💚

Happy Anniversary, Chuck! I’d choose you again in a heartbeat. ❤️🫶🏻
I turned 43 yesterday. 🥳🎉 Chuck always gets I turned 43 yesterday. 🥳🎉 Chuck always gets the big bday numbers for us, but the “3” didn’t arrive on time. So Dannie made him a “3” and he decorated after I went to bed. I even got door streamers like I give the kids. 🥰 

I was definitely spoiled and had a wonderful day! 43 is going to be a great year. 

And thank you to everyone who took a minute out of their day to wish me a happy bday. 🫶🏻

I can’t remember where I came across this one, b I can’t remember where I came across this one, but it was a delightful book about the dress code in middle school and how sometimes what you see happening is not the whole story. Students take action and utilize a podcast for getting their voices heard. Great for growing strong students who want to make a difference and stand up for what they believe in and learning how to create change when it doesn’t seem possible.

I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck move our big lift out deeper. The water is so low and in the hopes of not getting the boat stuck on the lift and maybe getting a couple more rides, we managed to get it out a little farther. Thankfully we had a dock section we could move so we could make the lift deeper and still get into the boat.
