Haircut Time

This week is was high time to get both the boys' hair cut. I took Mason on Monday and forgot to take pictures. Today I took them both back and got Reister's cut. There is an import store near to our house called "Sabrina's" Actually we prefer to go to another one even closer to us called "Summer's" - we are friends with the owner.

Anyway, there is a "babyshop" next door to Sabrina's that has a small hair salon in the back for cutting kids hair. Since they have the fun car-chairs and a mounted TV/DVD player to watch, it's much more enjoyable for my boys than a regular shop. It's about a $1.20 more to go here (altogether the haircut costs a little over $3 ha!) Here's the store front - you can see Reister & Mason in the stroller and a couple that stopped to talk to them. They had just gotten their baby's hair cut.

Here's Reister getting ready to "race" :) Note his long hair! It has been full of sweat lately because of the heat and humidity.

This lady has been the one to cut their hair the last 3 times. He was tuned into the show playing on the TV in front of him.


He even allowed her to wash it after ward - of course I did bribe him with the promise of a sucker if he would (and was good during the cut)

Mason is chesing it up for the camera. He didn't get his cut too short - who could cut off those beautiful curls!

There is a play area behind the chairs and Mason was content to play there while Reister was getting his hair cut.

I thought this view showed off his new 'do and he seems to look older here too. (He will turn 4 September 1st)


I'm thankful for this place that opened up (at least the hair cut part) while we were gone to the states.

Swimming

It has gotten HOT here! Although it's still probably not nearly as hot as Texas, it is very humid and when you walk or ride your bike most places, it feels pretty hot! How do we cool down? By going to the pool! We don't have a pool inside our apartment complex but we found a nice one very close. Today we went as a family. We went last week too, and I took my camera, but forgot to take pictures! Here's Micah with the boys on our bikes. It only takes less than 5 minutes to get there riding our bikes.

The deeper pool is on the right and then there is a shallow kids pool straight behind me.




Reister has gotten very comfortable in the water and will even go under water to get his pool toys. He can't really swim yet, but he's made great progress in just a couple months.


Mason prefers to sit on the side of the pool and play with his toys. He pours water on himself, others or toys. Sometimes he'll let us take him in the pool with us, but really he's not that interested in it. Fortunately the people at this pool don't charge us for Mason. It's $1.20 USD for Reister and almost $2.00 USD per adult.

Brothers

Reister and Mason have been playing really well together lately. Sometimes I don't even think about arranging play dates with others because they are content to play with each other. I think it has a lot to do with Mason maturing, being able to talk and express himself more, and being into the same pretend games and toys that Reister likes. I'm so thankful to have two boys and that they are so close in age.
I'm sorry I haven't been blogging that much lately. We have a very busy month of July due to visitors from the US. It was good, there just wasn't much spare time. Hopefully I can get some more daily life type posts up soon.

Is that a cute Buzz or what?
