Shave and a Haircut

Well, really just a haircut.  We made it to 2 1/2+ years before the girls first haircut - but it was time.  Elle was starting to look like a ragamuffin!  Kate not so much because of her curls, but she did have a bit of a rattail in the back - which though it does make me think of my beloved NKOTB back in the day - is not so attractive on a 2 year old.

So off we went to Pigtails & Crewcuts for their very first haircut.  Daddy was able to sneak away from work for a bit to witness the excitement (which took approximately 15 minutes total).  They did remarkably well, though Kate was definitely more excited to be driving a taxi and getting her hair cut.  Elle sat and read quietly most of the time.  They also psychically knew that this place would have lollipops because as soon as we told them they were getting their haircut they immediately said "We will get lollipops!".  Really?  It's like weird toddler intuition. 

Below are pics!  Can't believe how old Elle looks with her new summer 'do and Kate is looking cute as always.

Kate really needs to up her fare if she's going to be a successful taxi driver.

Looking sassy in the leopard print.  Dalmatian would have been MUCH more appropriate. 

Getting a little steering assistance from Daddy.

Nose in a book!

Kate giving Elle their other prize - a fancy plastic ring.  Bling!

Enjoying the psychically intuited lollipops post-haircut.  Elle even got a "princess braid" out of the deal!
