Yesterday Hunter and I were working on his homework when he said he needed to use the restroom. He was gone only a short time, and when he came back I was working on the computer trying to find him some school stuff. He talked awhile and finally asked, "Mom, do you notice anything different?" Being the typical busy mom, I didn't look up right away and said, "Huh?" He repeated the same question. At that point I figured something was up. I looked over and what do I find, but Hunter happy with his new haircut.......done by himself! I have to admit, I was a little sad and disappointed, but deep down I was giggling because it looked so terrible. I knew I couldn't laugh, I needed to make sure he knew I thought it was a bad choice so he'd never do it again. The picture above is the picture I first took. He thought it looked marvelous but wasn't too thrilled that I didn't have the same response.
Once Makenzie walked in the room and her jaw dropped at the sight of her younger brothers "do", I couldn't keep my composure. I cracked a smile, which Hunter immediately saw. He smiled a little back and I couldn't help it. The giggles wouldn't stop. I remember Madison doing this but she was like 3! I can't believe Hunter did this at 7! And it's such a fabulous job! :)
We ran to the barber shop that evening but found it was closed on Mondays. Hunter had to go to school with his new hair! He tried to wear a hat but school rules state there's no hats indoors. He said his music teacher specifically asked if he cut his own hair. He proudly answered, "Yes!" I hope she has kids of her own so she understands! :)I did get his hair cut after school on Tuesday (picture above). He loves his new, short hair.
At dinner he proudly showed Brendon how handsome he looked. Here's the conversation between them...........
Dad: Hunter, you could be a barber some day and cut hair when you grow up.
Hunter: Yes, but I wouldn't be a very good one!

One of my favorite things about Hunter is his energy and love for life. He usually has a smile on his face and seems to make the best of everything that his sent his way. When you watch him play he is so happy and its contagious to everyone around him. He makes friends with everyone.....there's not a person he won't play with. He's playing soccer, football and baseball. During recess at school he loves to play kickball with his other classmates. He is ALL BOY!!!! He'll watch football with his dad and ask questions about plays and rules. I think it makes Brendon so proud. He finally has a guy on his team!!! The two boys are going to have to stick together so they can handle the three girls in our house.
