before the haircut. during the haircut.
after the haircut.
it's exciting around here…..always doing wild stuff…..like haircuts in the bathroom.
sean had sworn off haircuts.
he wanted it long.
this warm weather equals sweaty hair and that makes me want to gag.
BUT i also hate to force him to compromise his personal style.
so i bribed him.
the price was little chocolate donuts and a dr. pepper.
totally worth it.
**************************************************************************************************
come see my new bracelet and win a $50 gift certificate from the vintage pearl.
sarah harper - meg-when i read that you bribed him with little chocolate donuts, i immediately thought of this classic from SNL: http://www.hulu.com/watch/2345/saturday-night-live-little-chocolate-donuts
so funny! 🙂
crystal beutler - I am so making me one of those! Super cool! Remind me to tell you next time I see you about a statement that outlines the basic beliefs of the Mormon church called the Articles of Faith. One of those statements incorporates this phrase of the Apostle Paul. I have it hanging in my house too — and when I saw that you had it too, I knew you were a kindred spirit. It’s something I think about every single day, and I try to conduct my life accordingly. It says:
“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”
Misty - ha ha so funny… I was watching something last night with Jason Segel in it and I kept thinking who does he remind me of??? and then it hit me… Sean looks a little like Jason Segel.
Charlotte - such a cute boy!
great haircut..love those eyes!
Janine - Justin Bieber just cut his hair off so it’s all good!
Marisa Berry - I love these. My father just passed away on Christmas eve after a hard battle with cancer. He loved St. Francis. I would love to get my mom (married 43 years) the cuff with the prayer of St.Francis on it. Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. where there is darkness….light. Where there is sadness…..joy.
Gemma - Love the new haircut! I entered on your other page : )
Gemma x
Crystal Swoverland - I would definitely get the Africa one! We just adopted our son from Ethiopia, so naturally I am in love with that place and a very special lady who lives there!
April M - yep – short hair = easy to see the big green eyes 🙂 sweet bribe too! my son will “endure” the torture of a haircut if I let him watch an episode of Mythbusters while I cut it. (btw – was fun to “window” shop at tvp and read everyone’s wishes)
Jess Mead - Ahhhhhhhh I bribe my boys with little chocolate doughnuts too!!! Love it!!
Diane - This blog makes me smile.
thank you!
sally lee - definitely the chunky message bracelet. i love that it can be all lowercase.
Courtney Henson - Well, first of all I love, love, love your bracelet. That verse has become really special to me lately. So I would totally want that or I love the messy nest necklace or the message rings!
sarah - gorgeous bracelet! simple and classy.
Rach - I am finding that M&M’s are an awesome bribe tool for a 2 year old. 🙂 We’re such good mommies.
Jennifer - Maybe you should tell him that shorter hair really makes his eyes *POP*? Just joking, but it’s true! I love at home haircuts, it unleashes my inner stylist 🙂
Kerrie Kaufmann - tough choice, i love the chunkie bracelet, but I also love the cross necklace that says faith. how fun!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!
Amy - I would love to be able to cut my kids hair! (and have it actually look acceptable) I do buzz my son’s hair in the summer, but I can’t fade it like I would like to. Practice makes perfect!….and an embarrased little boy when momma messes his hair up! : )
Sarah@this farm family's life - love the haircut…love the bracelet even more!
Cindy - Great photos! Love the expressions and the haircut!!
Kori - My son has the same dream, long hair, with the same response from me. No sweaty hair. It is icky…especially after sports.
And the short hair is so much better for the pool! Right? Right. 🙂
Have fun with your friends!!!! 🙂
Deanna - Love your blog! Such a hard decision but I love the necklace that has an initial inside a heart with a pearl charm on it! So precious!
Katie - The pics are cute! I cut my 7 yr old’s hair a little this weekend, too, but I guess my mom didn’t like it because when I picked him up yesterday she had taken him and gotten it buzzed off shorter. Lovely. Thanks, Mom. I still feel like a kid.
Patricia - Beautiful bracelet! And the hair cut photos are awesome! I’d say the bribe was a win-win situation :o)
Jodi - he’s a cutie!!
Mendi - LOVE them all…hard to decide! But if I have to narrow it down, it would be a toss-up between the chunky message bracelet and the hammered star necklace. What a great contest! Thanks!
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Love the haircut pics:) But i Love that bracelet even more. Its beautiful and how special to have something so personal and unique to YOU…even though its a Biblical scripture…its your signature scripture. Very nice!
XO,
Sarah
deborah@applesinwonderland - we must be on the same haircut schedule….as i cut and took pictures of the boys getting haircuts from me in our bathroom–last night. weird. and bribing is sometimes necessary. the trick is to start low. little donuts and dr. pepper–very well played. 🙂 and what would i do with a gift certificate? i would like to say i would get something for own momma, but the truth is i would love the name charms…for myself.::blush::.
Jenn - Okay…that was hard. Too many awesome things! For now I would go with the danty heart charms and a pearl. I’m thinking about my initial and my husbands. I already have a chain with charms with my girls names, but I could easily switch it out for well anything. Thanks for the chance to win!
shelly - seriously–that’s all it took?!? I’m off to buy some dr. Pepper and donuts:) My almost 11 year old decided he wanted hair like the lead singer from Journey! Where do they come up with this stuff?!?
happygirl - oh my goodness. I was first!!!
happygirl - Love the haircut. LOVE the scar. I know there is a story there. I used to cut my son’s hair, but I did it outside on the deck. He has A LOT of hair. I mean a CRAZY lot of hair. Hair to spare. Lucky him. Thanks for the smile. and cute bracelet. I like it.
