Buzz Cuts for the Wood Men

April 24, 2016

As I was making breakfast on Saturday morning, LJ came down the stairs with a sly look on his face, and it only took me a moment to realize half his hair had been unevenly cut off! AHHH! Wish I had gotten a better picture- but this one gives an idea! He got extremely close to his scalp in about 3 spots, and some of it was un-touched! It was a mess.

So we got ready a little more quickly than expected, and headed to a barber shop before soccer, where they gave LJ his first buzz cut!

He was a little lighter as we walked into soccer on Saturday morning!

LJ had been in a strange, sort of melancholy mood that week, and we know he has been dealing with the move/ not seeing all his friends in his own way. So we didn't get overly angry, we just focused on him not doing that again, why it was dangerous, and to ask for things first.

But he still seemed a little melancholy :(

So the next night while having dinner with the McDonnells, Sang was telling Barrett that she has done Ben's buzz cut several times (and Marks). And then Barrett mentioned that he feels like getting a matching haircut to show LJ solidarity, and Sang offered to do it! LJ got very excited at the idea, so we decided to go get it done right away! Off to the McDonnell's house we went!

Before picture of Barrett....

I love Kate's face here!

And, guess who else wanted to show their support... an Ewok!!! Barrett always says 'Wood Men stick together' (which the boys LOVE), and so Evan wanted in on this one!
