Nudity and Buzz Cuts

NAKED, NAKED, ALL THE TIME NAKED!

Now that the weather has gotten hotter, Tanner, our little nudist, is content to stay in his birthday suit all day from the second he wakes up (naked, of course) to going to bed (naked of course). He eats all three meals naked if we're home, watches TV naked, colors naked, plays baseball naked. Spoilsports that we are, we do make him get dressed when we leave the house, but as soon as we are back home, he strips down the instant he walks in the door. It is going to kill me when his little booty goes from being a cute little boy booty to a teenage booty that I am no longer allowed to see, much less pinch on a daily basis! I am enjoying these days while I can!

Jake said on Monday that he wanted to cut his hair like Brian's. So Brian got out the razor and

went to work- a number 2 on the sides and 4 on top. Of course,

as soon as Jake had his cut, Tanner had to have his done, too. I was skeptical at first but love the way the cuts turned out. They look so darn cute! Faith, of course, asked that we shave her head, too, but despite our desire to let haircare decisions be in the hands of the kids, we just couldn't follow through on this request. She only asked once, then when we said we weren't sure that was a good idea, she said, "Yes, I will keep my girl hair". Whew.

Oh, also, I have apparently crossed the line into being an embarassment to my eldest child. I came downstairs the other day in a pair of shorts that were belted with a sash and a white t-shirt with flip flops. Jake took one look at me and said, 'Mom, you're not going to go out like that are you? You look weird". Seriously??? He was rather insistent and when I asked him to explan how I looked weird (because I just didn't see it with this particular outfit, not that I don't have other outfits that might rightly be referred to as "weird") he said, "You look like you're from the 1950's. And poor and stuff". Hmmmm. Well, at least he cleared that up.
