Ever since Ethan started needing his hair cut (at about 2-yrs-old) I've been the one doing the cutting. This started as a necessity because he literally freaked out anytime I took him anywhere to get his hair cut. So I started giving him "buzz cuts" like his Dad and it's worked out pretty well. A few weeks ago it was "haircut time" and Ethan told me he wanted to grow his hair out a little bit. I'm OK with this, so I trimmed it up best I could and let him go on his way. The past few weeks Abby's hair has been driving me crazy and I finally got around to making an appointment at Sheer Madness yesterday to get it cut. We were on our way and Ethan said "Mom, can I get my hair cut there also?" I looked at his terribly bushy hair which is growing out from a buzz cut and decided indeed a haircut might be a good idea since he is starting kindergarten this week. He sat in the yellow hummer at Sheer Madness and informed the stylist "I want it spikey". Above is the result. It looks pretty cute (I know I should probably say handsome, but he's just so darn cute I can't help myself;) and it should since he conned me into styling gel that was $13.50 to achieve his "spikey look". I was feeling brave and since Ed was with us we ventured out to get school shoes after the haircut. Shopping for shoes with Ethan is one of the outings I dread most because he HATES to try anything on, but he was feeling cooperative and we found a pair pretty quickly. Abby also scored a pair of shoes since Shoe Carnival was having a buy one get one half off sale. Now we're all ready for school to start.
We've spent the rest of the weekend just trying to stay cool. It's 10pm here and still 90 degrees! There's not much relief in sight as it's supposed to be 100 degrees tomorrow. Have I mentioned I hate hot weather? We have been hibernating in the AC as much as possible and going to the pool in the evening. I'm soooooo ready for fall! Speaking of - I've started to see signs of Halloween at the stores, and that makes me a very happy person:)

He looks sooo cute!! I can't believe he is old enough to go to school. I hope he has a lot of fun. I will call him Thursday to see how things went.
I can't believe how big Ethan is in that first picture! I love the spikes :)
He is super cute. Watch out for those pesky kindergarten girls!
What a GREAT haircut!! He is quite a nice looking young man! And I'm sure the hair gel will make that first day of school go much smoother :-)
