two kinds of vans

Ever since their first trip to the hair salon, my boys have enjoyed playing barber shop. During the last trimester of my pregnancy with Ollie, I remember crashing out on the couch with 2 little boys patiently combing my hair. Aside from the occasional yank and yelp, it actually was quite relaxing. I'm a big sucker for anyone playing with my hair. Today Finn was trying to do my hair and asked me to remove the pink thing. I told him that the pink thing was called a rubber band and he said "there's 2 kinds of vans--one that you ride in and a rubber-van for your hair". I snickered, but did not correct him.

He then started twisting my hair around his fingers and snipping just like our hair guy does. I asked him "How did you know how to do that?" To which he responded " I don't know, I just figured it out".

bug catchers work remarkably well as scissors

And finally, Finn's masterpiece.

Well, actually it was the work of 2 photo pals, who were playing a friendly game of paparazzi. Apparently they play it all the time on their scoutings.

When I up my photo skills, I will do Ellie justice. But for now...
email me! i love you more than broccoli.

    Hee hee, Finn's arsenal includes a screwdriver. Does he include Frankenstein as one of his clients? :)

    Hi Davi! I love looking at your blog. Your boys are too cute! It makes me imagine what Braden will be like in a couple years. I hope he does my hair as well as Finn does yours! :)
