Haircuts!

The straw that broke the camel's back came one morning as I tried to do Rita's hair.  She has told me over and over "I want Tangled hair", which means she wants long flowing hair like Rapunzel in the movie, Tangled.  However, she does not want to sit still to have her hair wrestled into some semblance of neatness.  Every morning we battled and I would get compliance only after I told her "if you don't want your hair done, then we need to get it cut".  This would buy me just enough time to get a ponytail.  Her hair is so whispy and thin that within minutes she would again look like an orphan. 

So, one morning we were having the battle of the hair and the straw came.  Rita cried at first but actually didn't fuss at all during the haircut.  This isn't the greatest picture.  Her hair looks cute and sassy and matches her personality.  While we were at the salon (OK, it was Great Clips :) ), Brendan decided to cut his mop.  He looks so different without that wild hair!  Great for summer though.
