What do we as parents love to do? Torture the kids of course. Barry and I often accomplish this task with chores and other dreadful jobs that need to be accomplished around the house, (I'm really looking forwards to adding 'weeding the garden' to their list.)Ahhh, now hair cuts.... this is an ordeal the boys truely dislike. The boys were starting to look like shaggy dogs.
Giving the boys a hair cut has been on my mind for the past few weeks, so when Barry offered to take the boys to the barber, to help me out, well, that gave this a greater priority. (Besides torturing my kids, I really like to save money, where I can. I'm not about to spend $20. paying a barber to do something that will take me 15 minutes to accomplish.)
The hardest part of cutting their hair is simply getting them into the bathroom so I can actually cut the hair.
Of course, keeping them still is difficult too, they are so wiggly. Never before have they had more itches, twitches and wiggles.
Look at all that hair, we knew we only 2 dogs, not 4....two of the shaggy mutts turned out to be handsome boys.
Connor you're quite the handsome boy.
Ryan, you're so very handsome too.
Won't Liam be excited, he has no idea what joys awaits him.
And so our daily life goes on.....
What a great thing to remember, they'll thank you later for taking some interest in their looks (I hope). I too find that the older they get, the more wiggly they are.
ReplyDeleteI shaved my shaggy dog last night too. Must be something in the air.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that you can cut their hair and it looks good when you're done. I need to acquire that skill and save Ryan and I some extra cash.
