Little Beauties at the Salon

Silvie going straight.  When the gal asked her what she wanted to do with her hair, she spoke right up and said, " I want mine straight!"

I put holes in my Beauties

As we walked through the mall today, the Beauties (as usual) took GREAT interest in Claire's.  Every time we walk past that place, the Beauties always want to go in and pick out "stuff."  Today as we strolled past, they of course wanted to go in and "rearrange" the store for the gals working.  I made mention to the fact that maybe we should get their ears pierced.  Chloe has had hers pierced since she was a baby.  But for one reason or another, we have never done the triplets.  I have went back and fourth since having Chloe's done.  She was that pore babe that was crying before the gal even cleaned her earlobes.  I still remember feeling like "that Mom" holding her tightly trying to get her calm after.  I swear she cried for two days straight.  The triplets however, never cry when they get shots, very rarely cry when they fall down, so it was no surprise that the mention of it brought the answer, "YES" times three!  At that moment there was only one woman working, she told us that if we wanted both ears done at the same time we could come back after one and there would be another manager working.  We left and went to the museum, had lunch and roamed the mall.  During the entire time, all three kept asking if it was time to go back to get "earrinds?"  With the approval of Daddy, we headed back to Claire's.  Farrah said she was first.  So I sat her on my lap, and they marked out the dots.  The earrings went in, sort of, one came almost out the side of her lobe.  I had to pull it out and they had to re-pierce it.  Not a tear shed.  She didn't even squirm when they gal had to poke her again.  As she looked into the mirror, she was so very proud!  Next came Silvie, she was so ready to go watching Farrah.  I took her onto my lap, same verse, dotted with a marker, second manager came over...pieced, sort of.  Again the one girl pierced the left ear at a slant.  I had to again, pull the earring from Silvie this time and the manager had to re-pierce.  Again, not a tear, not a squirm!  Amazing.  Next Jocelyn was up.  She seemed a bit more nervous, but none the less, ready to go.  I requested that the other gal who was working take over for this first girl, as she obviously had much more experience.  They dotted the ears and...pierced.  Again...not a tear shed.  I couldn't believe it.  No tears, no crying, just each of them staring into the mirror and admiring themselves.  Weird how Farrah and Silvie had the same mishap with the sideways pierce.  (Truly identical, right down to their ear piercings.)
All night they have been in and out of the bathroom, gazing at their new "pretties."  What big girls!  Not to mention, they look super cute!

Happy Haircuts

Tuesday was a no school day for Chloe.  We decided to head out and find something to do.  The house is boring and we are tired of toys and movies, we needed some real action.  As we were driving around with no destination...a brilliant idea popped into my head.  Haircuts.  Let's go and get haircuts.

We stopped into the salon that Chloe and I have been to before (not my normal one but they take walkins, which is so much better for us.)  I asked about time for not one but rather FOUR walk ins.  Of course they did not even have time for one let alone four.  So I decided to keep thinking.  I grabbed a price card on my way out and went back to the brainstorm.  As I thought about where to try next, I glanced at the price for a child's hair cut.  $21.00.  WHAT?  For real?  Honestly, I pay double that for my own haircuts (which makes me barf) but, I feel like you don't have a lot of option as an adult, and the prices just keep going up.  The Beauties are cute...doesn't take any "extra" to make that happen.  Still, I felt extremely sick that 4 childrens haircuts were going to be $84.00 (not even including the tip.)  Doesn't really add up.  They do not shampoo, they don't use other product, they don't blow dry, or curl or straighten.  All they do is "trim the hair" so what does that $21.00 go?  Not happening.  They can "rob" someone else.

So we went on our merry way and ended up at Cost Cutters.  

They were not busy and said they would be happy to do two at a time, so they wouldn't get as antsy.  Great idea.  (They only charge $9.95 for a kid.  1/2 the price sounded a lot better to me.  

The Beauties did great.  They LOVED sitting in the chair getting the "hairs" cut.  They were so brave.  Not to mention so darn adorable.  So different from big sissys first cut.  Poor Chloe was scared to death.  Amazing she loves it now.  Chloe decided that she wanted "just a few long bangs."  She also decided that Farrah should keep her bangs.  Jocelyn and Silvie should grow their bangs.  

When all was said and done, $66.00 later, all four Beauties looked pretty darn cute.  The triplets even received certificates fot the "1st" haircut.  Complete with their hair attached.

I think my Chloe girl was a little upset that she did not receive a certificate with her hair attached, so last night after the triplets went to nite-nite, we pulled out her baby book and I showed her the locks of hair I saved from her very "1st" cut.  That made her very happy.  She even commented on how I saved a lot of her hair, compared to her sisters.  She's so sweet.  They all are.
