Well, after school we went off to the "haircut store," as the girls call it. They looked through the style books, and each picked out her own 'do. Warning: lots of pictures to follow. As always, click on the picture to see the larger size.
Emma went first.
She was so excited, she could barely sit still.
The ponytail's end was near.
It took some effort to saw through it,
but finally, the deed was done.
"Look at all my hair!"
She couldn't stop grinning.
Then it was Morgan's turn.
She looked a little nervous.
I asked if she still wanted to go through with it
and she said "Yes," without hesitation,
but she wasn't quite as enthusiastic as before.
But she was still determined.
So we gave the order.
The stylist sawed through the ponytail
and there was no going back.
She looks so much like her bobbed-hair 4-year-old self in this one,
it makes me a little wistful.
Meanwhile, in the other chair, Emma was still grinning.
(Goodness, that mirror was smudged.)
Morgan was feeling pangs of regret
and looking rather somber.
Smiley was still grinning, though.
And with good reason.
It's a darling cut!
Of course, I am biased, but really, it's a darling cut.
Morgan was still quite somber,
but finally she cracked a smile and started having fun,
and I knew she'd be all right.
"I like it!"
"Look at all my hair!"
Adorable!
Absolutely adorable!
So adorable, I just have to post another one.
Short hair rules!
(Until one or both of us decide to grow it long again...)
I really have to give a shout-out to Fantastic Sam's in Mendota Heights. The stylists were both fabulous, very patient yet also very excited for the girls and their long-to-short cuts. (They were also very patient about a certain mother taking entirely too many pictures.) The girls both donated their hair to Locks of Love; because they donated, their haircuts were free. I didn't know that the cuts would be free until all was said and done. What a pleasant surprise! We hadn't been to Fantastic Sam's before this, but we'll definitely be going back.

awww! they both look great! and no, that's not too many photos! -;D i'm sure they'll love having short hair in the summertime.
hee! very cute. and added bonus, it makes it easier for me to tell them apart :D
Wow! They look great with short hair! I'll bet they love their new haircuts! No more brushing and tangles to worry about. Were they nervous? Are they going to keep their hair short or grow it back out to donate again?
They look great!
Emma and Morgan--I am going to be so excited to see both of you with your new short haircuts! The pictures on your Mom's blog are great.

Gorgeous haircuts! They look like movie stars!
Wow, kids' haircuts are way more sophisticated now than they were when I was eight. Emma and Morgan look great in short hair; I'm sure they'll enjoy the coolness in the summer.
Those are gorgeous haircuts! Both the girls just look... chic, that's the word.
I'm with the sybil. Very chic!
and the perfect time of year to be footloose and free!
