I Am Officially Crazy! :)

Karys hadn't had a haircut since October. When she got that haircut I had taken both kids to Super Cuts for professional cuts because we were getting ready to go to a wedding and I wanted to make sure their hair looked good. When I watched the girl cut her hair I realized that I was doing the right thing when I do it at home. Especially with a simple cut like hers. You just cut straight across, basically. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed her hair was looking a little long and like it needed to be cut. Yesterday she made the comment that her hair was too long and she needed a haircut. Since I've been waiting on the "okay" from her I didn't waste any time! (I should also throw in that she got syrup in her hair yesterday while eating pancakes so I figured we could just cut out the syrup--it was just on the end of one small section of hair. But see what I mean...that's crazy!!) We had about 40 minutes last night before we had to go babysit at the church so I figured that would be plenty of time. Then I got this idea to cut it really short, like my niece, Jillian.

I made the first cut and thought to myself, "what have I just done?!" All of a sudden I doubted my ability to make this haircut look any good! But since I'd already started, I had to keep going! I did my best to get it cut evenly last night. It usually takes me a couple of days to really look over their hair once I cut it and see where it might need some touch ups. As I was watching her run around last night I could tell that one side was slightly longer than the other. I kept looking at it today and still thought that same thing. So I grabbed the scissors one more time and evened it out. I even tried my hand at a little bit of stacking in the back. I've had enough haircuts of my own (and I used to have really short hair) so I always think I know what I'm doing...even if I don't! Anyway, she got lots of compliments today on her new shorter haircut and now that I evened it out tonight I feel pretty confident in how she looks! We call it her Jillian Haircut. :) She told me tonight while looking in the mirror that she loved her new haircut.

Here are the results!
