Snip-its

Here are a few shots from Scarlett and Max's haircuts a few weeks ago.  We usually go to a kids salon in the back of a Stride Rite shoe store (so you can have the pleasure of mixing two totally unrelated activities at once -- haircuts and shoe shopping), but this time we thought we'd try Snip-its, a kids salon in Snider Plaza that has movies, games, bubbles, and a boatload of colorful distractions.  

Scarlett got a "trim."  (Even though we took several inches off, we had to be careful to call it a trim, because she was convinced that if she got a "haircut" like Max, they would cut all of her hair off.)

Blowing bubbles.

Turning around so the back of the chair doesn't get in the way.

When the stylist asked Scarlett to put her head down, she sort of scrunched up like this instead of just lowering her chin.

Pretty girl.

Next up -- Max and  his pouffy 'do!  He did great sitting in the chair all by himself.  (He's had several haircuts, but previously we had to do them in my lap.)  Give that kid a lollipop, and apparently he'll do just about anything.

Kicking back and relaxing while he takes in a movie.

Looking concerned, although it's hard to tell if it's because her hand is in his face or because he can't see the t.v. screen.

Yep, the lollipop's still there!

Looking good, Max!
