My poor kids, they end up getting all sorts of experimental haircuts from me.   I just can’t bring myself to pay money for haircuts.  My aunt is a hair stylist and she taught me how to cut my husbands hair when we first got married.  I’ve pretty much mastered his haircut, but now I’m teaching myself how to do my kids.  Annie’s hair isn’t too bad, but poor Brandon.  Today I tried to use the buzzer, or clippers what ever you call them.  I thought I had the same length that I used last time, but apparently I was wrong.  His hair got sooo short.  I had to keep going though, otherwise it would be completely uneven.  The poor boy looks like he’s in the military.  Good thing he’s only two and he could care less.  Hopefully it looks better in a month or so, I just don’t want to tell anyone that I did it!
