Life made easier

Joni has freakishly thick hair, and regularly gets comments on it.  When other moms act jealous, I always want to say, "Do you really want to dedicate half your life to brushing out tangly hair, washing it, conditioning it, brushing it out again, blow drying it (because if you don't, it'll never dry), and then curling, styling - only to start over again the next day?"

So when we were staying in Colorado with family, I made a decision one morning that I had had enough.  Luckily, Joni's cousin, Ava, had just chopped her hair, so Joni was in agreement that it would be cool.



I did not encourage the diva look, I swear.  I did, however, find it hilarious.

We cut off her 8 inches just in time.

For this....


Tom takes the kids to the pool most nights after dinner. :)

She told me that she wanted to get it cut so that it would look "fresh." What a cutie.

it looks so cute! and i miss going to the pool at our apartment. HEY. speaking of apartments I'd like to see some pics girl! It drives me nuts not to know what peoples houses look like. I'm sure that will be diagnosed as a disease in future years.

I'm right with you! I have almost baby-fine hair, and my daughter's hair passed mine in thickness by the time she was 2. Hers absolutely can not be shorter than just below her shoulders or it's sheer torture to try to brush it out!

Joni's hair is so cute. I am trying to talk Chloe and Christopher into letting me do the same to Chloe's hair. I hate the battle every morning. Hope everything is going well. It was fun seeing you and your family this summer.
