A Little Father-Son and Mother-Daughter Time

Last weekend, Gary decided to take Henry to the barber shop for a haircut.  The girls need a trim, too, but the last time we took everyone out for a haircut all they did to the girls was give them a tiny trim across the bottom and charge us $15 for each.  I’ve decided that I can pick up a pair of scissors and do the same for free.  But there is no way I’m going to try to cut Henry’s hair.  I took some photos of the “boys” before they took off.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the girls, but I felt like we should do something special – and girly.  Then it came to me. . . .

The girls had never had their nails painted.  Overall, it went very well.  The only problem is that Rosemary kept yelling, “I DO MINE!” and I was not willing to turn her loose with a bottle of nail polish.  So, the result was that Piper had all fingers and toes painted, and Rosemary just had one hand’s fingers and one foot’s toes painted.

I don’t think that Penelope was quite ready to have hair nails painted, but she hung out with us while we painted and seemed to have a good time.  I’m sure she will be ready for her turn soon enough.
