process of a haircut

Saturday was haircut day for the Rigdons.
Well, really just for John Mark-
He needed his "first day of school" haircut.

Now if you remember, JM's not a huge fan of haircuts.
After this lovely little incident, we bought clippers.
I decided it would be better for us to inflict this trauma.

So Saturday morning, we laid out a sheet,
turned on Phineas and Ferb,
and went to town.

The first part of the haircut went off without incident.
He sat still, watched TV and even laughed a little.
I thought we were going to make it.



But then Micah had to switch sides...
And do the bottom of his neck...
And trim around his ears...
And all peace and calm flew right out the window.
There was much weeping and gnashing of teeth.



But then it was over.
And all was well.
John Mark was happy with his new hair-
"I love my hew haircut, mommy."
He was also happy with his ice cream.
Mommy, however wasn't happy with the cleanup.
Can you believe this crazy amount of hair???


Thank goodness for vacuums...
