I didn't go to school for that...

Tony decided with his last hair cut that we should get our own clippers and I should learn how to cut his hair. Since this was his idea, I figured he couldn't get mad at me if I totally messed it up. Yesterday I stopped at Costco on my way home from work and got the clipper set. The box came with instructions on how to cut hair and all the attachments. So then we decided to have a go at cutting Tony and Tyler's hair. We started with Tony's hair. I followed the instructions (sort of) and had Tony look at it a lot while I was doing it. I have to say that it didn't turn out too bad. The hardest part was his side burns and by his ear. One side looked really good, and then I kind of went too short on the other side. Live and learn...right?
Then it was Tyler's turn. I held Tyler, so Tony cut his hair. Tyler fought us at first, but then ended up doing a really good job. Tony did a pretty good job on Tyler's hair. This was a good idea for me to learn how to cut boys hair, because lets face it, with three boys I am going to need to do it a lot. Ahh, think of all the money we will save...
We are getting so close to finishing our fence. Tony got one of the gates on and we have about 3/4 of the fence stained. Our neighbors keep telling us what a good job we have done on the fence. It is nice to see that people appreciate all the hard work that we are putting into our house. I am sure by this weekend our fence should be completely finished and ready for me to take some pictures. Can't wait!

My husband cuts his hair and the two boys also. It save us a lot of money since Jared has to have a clean cut look, which means one every two weeks. The boys go longer about once a month or so. Good luck on the hair cutting skills.

I cut the hair of everyone in our house, including myself. I'm sure it saves us a lot of money since Josh wants a hair cut at least once a month. I usually give the Tanner a sucker and let him watch a tv show while I cut and it keeps him still. Just be careful not to get hair on the sucker. The girls are usually content to sit in front of the mirror and admire themselves while I cut. Girls...

I used to cut Sam's hair until I convinced him that he needed to go to work looking like a professional, not like he got in a fight with a lawnmower! I am really bad a haircuts!
