"New" Clippers, New Hair!

Last week we discovered that Laken's hair was getting a little bit long. Both Logan and I like it when he has longer hair sometimes but he is in a "pretty" stage right now and we felt he looked a little girly! Sadly Logan decided it was time to shave his head!

The process began outside at the picnic table and of course as I am sure any of you know with young children it was a battle in the beginning!

After some coaxing Laken sat still as Logan proceeded to cut off all of his beautiful blonde hair! Oh and yes if you look closely you may notice that these clippers are not your normal clippers. Maybe some of you have used them before. These are hand powered clippers from the 1940's. They have been a dream of my husbands for several years now! He spent hours while we were home in the States searching ebay and other websites for these clippers. He was thrilled when he finally found them and they arrived at his parents house. I on the other hand just laughed to myself and shook my head!

Later that evening I was thinking about Laken's hair cut and Logan's clippers and all the other happenings of the day. Thinking through these things made me appreciate my husband so very much. Logan is different from me in so many good ways! I am typically an inside the box thinker. I want instructions for everything. I want to do things the way everyone else has done things because we know that way works. Not Logan. Logan wants to find things out for himself. Like the clippers, why not use clippers that don't use electricity? Well in my opinion its just easier. We may not have an unlimited supply of power in our future home but we surely have a enough to give the boys a 5 minute hair cut! In Logan's opinion why use clippers that use power when it is just as easy to use ones that don't! 

Logan thinks this way about almost everything in life. Where I would say lets just have a bathtub in our tribal house we know it works because other people have done it, he says yeah that works but wouldn't it be fun to collect stones and build a stone shower? 

More often than not my first thought is, "this could be a disaster!" Yet, time and time again Logan proves to me that just because we aren't doing things the "easy" way or the "normal" way doesn't mean it won't work out (sometimes it doesn't, but for the most part it does!). 

I am so grateful for a husband who loves life and who makes even the most boring every day parts of life an adventure! Like getting a haircut with "old school" clippers!

Looks good to me!

Liam didn't get a hair cut but he is just so cute I had to post a picture!
