We were looong over due for a hair cut! Cal's hair has been so thin, we haven't given him one yet, but his curls in the back were looking more like a rat tail/mullet, so it was time to get a little trimming. (Not to mention a pilot on one of our flights on the way home asked us if our little girl was cold.
HE was wearing navy blue pants and sneakers and a white shirt. seriously???) Eddie's mom made us promise to not cut his hair until after the trip because she wanted to see the curls one more time.
I made an appointment for noon and tried to take a few "before" shots. We went to get in the car to go to the place and my car battery was dead :( . We have a jumper here that you can hook up to the house, so I jumped my car and had to let it sit for a while to charge so I could make it to Autozone to get a new battery! While we were waiting, Cal took a digger and got a nice little mark on his forehead (what else is new?!).
Here are some BEFORE pictures:

| sweet curls |
 |
| Don't make me do this!!!!!!!! (see the baby bump?) |
 |
| MESS! |
We went to
Peek-A-Do children's salon: it was AWESOME! If you live in the area and are looking for a place to get your kids hair cut, this place was wonderful! We had Donna and I can't say enough good things about her. She was excellent with Cal.
Here are some pictures DURING:
 |
| Sitting in the car-- he held onto the wheel the entire time :) Here he is checking out Miss Donna-- she was talking to him the entire time- he loved it! And how crazy is his hair in this picture? A cut was LONG over due! |
 |
| Ummm, Momma? What are you doing to me?? |
 |
| Driving the car!!! |
 |
| Each station had its own DVD player |
 |
| looking a little nervous! |
 |
| The finishing touches! Cal decided he was done with the cape :) |
And, a few AFTER shots once we got home...
 |
| he looks so old to me! |
 |
| this was still in the chair |
 |
| too busy playing to look at the camera |
We saved some of the curls in a plastic baggie-- Eddie's grandmother has a collection of curls from her two boys and their kids, and now their grandkids too! I am going to mail her a few locks (that sounds a little stalker-ish!).
And here is a video I took of Cal after his nap after getting his hair cut....
