Tonight I realized that I was supposed to learn a lesson, and that is why Nick and I are apart for a couple of months. The lesson I am suppose to learn is to appreciate him more. I never realized how much he does around the house and with the kids.
I definitely learned my lesson tonight, while cutting the boys hair. Nick normally does this (which I normally yell the whole time "its too short") and now I know why. It was not a very pleasant experience. I started with Austin, I gave him a sucker thinking it would keep his mind off what I was doing, but that was not the case. He screamed and cried the whole entire time. He kept saying "Mom it hurts." Corbin was sitting in the highchair screaming too (I have no idea what Brodie was doing, he would come in every so often to see what was going on). So of course I start crying, which made things ten times worse. Nick told me how he normally does it by blending and everything, but that did not work out, so I just cut his hair at a 2 all over. It is really short, I am just glad that it is summer.
Next, was Brodie he was terrified from hearing Austin, so he did not want to get on the counter for his turn. I finally got him up there and decided that I would just cut his at a 3 all over, and not try to blend it at all. It went a little bit better than Austin's, he just keep getting hair in his month and it made him mad. (Corbin was still screaming) I am just glad that it is over, and very grateful that their hair grows fast.
I am also very grateful for a wonderful husband that does a lot to help out. I will never yell at him again while he is cutting their hair, because it is not an easy task.
I learned my lesson now, I just wish that meant he could come home.
Thanks, Nick for all your hard work, your the best.

Cutting boys hair is the worst! We found that if we put a show on then Thomas sits still. He also likes to watch us cut it so sometime we do it in the bathroom in front of the mirror. We don't do any blending, usually we do a 2 so we don't have to cut it for a long time. I hope Nick gets to come home soon! Good luck!
I too have recently begun cutting Trey and Rand's hair. I don't really "blend" and sometimes I take too much off around the ears. Poor Rand, I can't imagine what his coworkers must think. Trey's always looks like a mess because he's moving around so much. That's why I end up cutting it like every couple weeks because when it starts growing out is when you can really see how bad I did. Oh well!
I think that is a good lesson learned. I think you guys are brave for even trying. I think I cute Ryen's bangs once, maybe. Scary.
PS I think the days are ticking away pretty quick.
You should see Russ and James's hair right now. They are DESPERATE for hair cuts. It's pretty funny and pathetic, but I just hate to give haircuts. I'm so bad at it, Randy no longer asks me to cut his. :)
