I actually like James' hair this time. It's shorter than usually but maybe I'm finally getting used to how "military" it looks after he cuts it. Sometimes I wish he'd be less conservative with the styling. He's never let me do it and I always want to make it look "messy."
I'm not sure if I hate my hair but it's pretty close. I knew that might happen so I tried to prepare myself by saying "Okay Lydia, you'll probably have to give it a couple of weeks to get used to it. But it needs to be done so go cut it!" I wanted a different style but I didn't know how to explain what I wanted, not did I even know what I wanted. It's cut a little differently but I don't' know how to style it differently so it usually ends up looking like my hair used to but shorter. Not a fan. I thought I'd leave it a tad bit longer so that if I decide to, I can go a bit spiky in the back. I don't think I'm that brave and it might look dumb on me. So here I am in the middle but I'm still learning. I'm sure I need to invest in some product but I hate spending the money.
Edin is finally growing hair so he's had a couple of cuts. It's very exciting to me. We used a #8 on the clippers so we could leave some length. He looks so cute.
Lizzie is still basically bald with a tad bit of mulleting in the back. I mean tad bit. But that means she gets to keep wearing the head bands and clips I make for her. Right on!
Saturday we spent the morning just kind of hanging out. Then we went to Connie's for dinner and had a great time. I got to do a bit (very little bit ) of shopping with Connie at Target. I bought baby stuff: diapers for both kids, wipes, baby food, a shirt for Edin, and medicine for Lizzie. Weeee. Then we went back to Connie's and ate. The kids sure love Connie and John and it's nice to give them some space in which to run around.
The first three pictures are from they day my hair was cut. Sweet Rebekah styled it for me. It still needed a little something in the front but I love the back.
The next three are from the next day when I tried styling it with a round brush. All I have to say is "What the heck is going on back there?" I think I may have a calic back there because that weirdo parting is sick!
Edin basically looks like he's being tortured. I think he liked it really.
This is Edin putting his fork in this straw. Clever.
Lizzie makes some awesome faces.
Edin got every piece of bedding from his room one by one and put them in the living room to lay down with James. That white thing he's laying on is a changing pad. Nice Edin, nice.

OK--so you already know I like the cut. Sorry it's not working from your perspective, though. (Your opinion is the most important when it comes to how you look!)
Two things--
First, I get the weird part in the back if I'm not careful when I blow-dry. Not that I'm saying you're not...just that the same thing happens to me. I have to focus on getting it to lay down over the space more than volume when that happens.
Secondly--next time go to Paul Mitchell the School. Seriously. Every single time I've gone to Bon Losee, I've had the worst ever experiences. And, I feel like Paul Mitchell polishes their stylists from the very beginning. (They want them to work at high-end salons, not just SuperCuts.) The cost is (I think) the same as BL, but your cut will be better in general.
So, there are my 2 cents. :) Sounds like a fun Saturday!
I've never had that weird part before so I'll watch for it next time.
Where is Paul Mitchell's? I'm game. In fact, I might go there in a couple of weeks. Stupid hair...
OK--Paul Mitchell is on 9th East, south of campus right next to that Gold's Gym down there. Go for it and let me know what you think.
