Richard was so busy this week, he was hardly afforded a moment to sit down, let alone relax. Yes, filling in for me is a tall order--my standards are very high. Along with the list of daily chores were a few extra jobs for him to do. One of those extra jobs was to take Dallin and Elijah to our local SuperCuts for long-overdue haircuts. (While there he was supposed to get one, too). At any other time, I am the one who cuts all my boys' hair. But as I am currently unable to stand and work on my feet for the necessary 90 minutes it usually takes me, I felt it time to break tradition and have Rich pay (cringe!) for haircuts.
Well, said haircuts never happened this week. Last night I told Rich that the boys could not go to church looking so homeless and unkempt, and ha, ha, he should just buzz their heads. I was kidding! After all, Dallin has the most beautiful red hair. I remember buzzing his head the summer he was 3. I cried the rest of the day. Yes, it obviously grew back, but I was nonetheless devastated.
Back to last night. The middle two girls were in bed, and I sat in the family room nursing Bree to sleep. I took her upstairs to bed, and as I headed back downstairs, I realized Rich and the boys were nowhere in sight...
Bzzzz.... What's that sound? Bees, pray tell?
I followed the noise and was led to the garage where Rich had already buzzed Elijah's head, and was in the process of buzzing Dallin's. Of course I had to get the camera. Then I laughed. Then I cried. I know it will grow back, but I'm still very sad. Rich said it was fun to do, and both Dallin and Elijah love their new do's. And it is almost summertime.
I'll get over it. When it grows back.
Love, Cara
p.s. The boys' favorite part of the new hair do's? Their hair is already done.

Husbands do have very tall orders when they are in charge of the family and house while mommy is recovering from anything.
That is why Scott loves to have his hair buzzed! Never has to look in a mirror to do his hair. LOL!!
I love the look! Eric likes to get his hair buzzed because then he doesn't have to comb it. I just figure it is one of those things I would rather not fight over.
Will you ever let Rich near the buzzers again?
haha, at least you didn't have to pay for haircuts. Maybe I'll do that with my boys too.
I feel your pain! I took Preston to get a hair cut and she cut it WAY too short. Basically a buzz cut. Aaron and I are both sad at the loss of his curls. =(
But your boys look cute and obviously love the new summer look!
Andy has done this before. Maybe it is a husband thing. I have made sure he doesn't do it again. I can't believe how big all your kids are! They sure have changed. Bree is darling and holy cow you look great! I can't believe in that earlier picture you were just pregnant and had just been cut open. Good job!
Oh, Cara-how funny, you must of just flipped! Oh well, I think the boys' hair looks great & will be perfect for summertime! Just don't let Richard anywhere near the girls!! Shell;)
