A Third’s First

This morning I decided it was time to get Logan’s hair cut! I got the kids all excited and told them we were going somewhere special today. We walked over to the salon and they were closed.  There was about a half hour until it opened. So we walked to a nearby thrift store and found some books to buy. Unfortunately they only take cash and I didn’t bring any. The girls were really good about putting the books back and not throwing huge fits. I decided this deserved a reward, plus we still had 15mins before the hair salon opened. There’s a really cute coffee shop on the square (the center of town) that I hadn’t been to yet, so I decided to take the girls and Logan and get some hot chocolate! I love hot chocolate. It’s one of the (very short list of) best things about cold weather. We walked in and right away they were very nice and happy to have us! I was so glad cause I’ve heard of some very un kid-friendly shops. We got a hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll to share. The kids were perfect little angels (hallelujah!) It was a perfect fall day outside. These are the moments I live for! I felt like we were in a movie or something, it was great. I had my camera with me for the hair cut, since they were being so good I took some at the coffee shop:




After we ate we went to the bathroom to clean our hands and faces and we passed a group of seniors that ewwed and awed over my babies. When we got outside Ryan called and he needed some help. Yes!! I get to come help him, it’s always the other way around! The car battery had died and he needed a jump. He had already walked back to his office because he didn’t have his phone with him (poor guy!) so he said just whenever. Since we were already out (with out the van) I said we’d rescue him after Logan’s hair cut. Well we went to the salon and they didn’t have any openings. Oh well. So we ran home and got the van. I told Ryan about the salon and he knew of one nearby so we went and checked there. A five minute wait. Perfect, enough time to go and jump Ryan’s car and come back. Ryan needed a cut too, so they both got one! So cute.

The people were SO nice at the salon! They just ate up the girls and Logan. I got the girls some candy and they sat and played with some toys most of the time while Logan and Daddy got their hair cut!! So cute. Unfortunately when I went home to get the van I dropped off the camera, thinking we weren’t going to do the cut today. Oh well. Logan sat on my lap with the little drape on and was perfect. He looked like such a big boy wearing that! He sat so still and at the end gave the lady a HUGE smile to say thanks for the handsome hair cut. So cute. Afterwards we went to pay and they gave Logan a really cute certificate that says first hair cut and has a sample of his hair. Adorable. AND since it was his first cut it was free. Pretty cool. When Ryan came home for lunch I had them pose together so we could see their cute new do’s!
