Day 46 - Haircut

So we went to "the shop" as I've called whatever hair salon my Mom works in since I was a little kid...It's easier than saying "Holy Nails & Hair" or "Hair Today Gone Tadaaa" although I should say my mom's place of employment has a fairly normal name...I'm just poking fun at all hair salons.

I think if I had a my own salon I'd name it "The Hair Up There" in reference to the fact we cut hair and also as a nod to a fantastic yet heavily overlooked Kevin Bacon film "the Air Up There" which, if you haven't seen, you should definitely look into. I give it 3 kids up.

Anyway, while I got my haircut the kids were instructed to hangout in the waiting area and peruse old volumes of Paul Mitchell hair designs...Which is sweet because I can't figure out why my Mom or her colleagues would hold onto these.

Really Mom? Is there EVER going to be a day where I ask you to give me an impossibly perfect bowl cut while also shaving three triangles into the back of my hairline?

While the haircut was being administered I was keeping an eye on the kids via the many mirrors located within the building...Which was great because I got to see Ethan & Owen greet people as they walked in...My favorite was the really old man named Chip who got high fives from both of them.

I was genuinely proud...

At the end, they got a tootsie pop each and then I paid my Mom - with a hug and a kiss on the cheek - and we rolled out...

On the way home, I decided to stop at Ukrops and grab myself a salad so I would eat a bit better today...Now, there was nothing special to report about that trip except for when we left and Summer, in the process of walking to her side of the car, clocked herself right on the side mirror of the Volvo parked next to us.

Naturally, I laugh and told her to watch out...Then repeated this statement to the boys...

Then I call Owen over...

And he DRILLS his head on the same side mirror.

I give up.

Anyway, I'm going to leave this post with a little taste of "The Air Up There" gahlee what a great movie...
