Sophie’s First Haircut

DSC05985
Before she realized what was happening

Thursday, at the ripe old age of three years and eleven months, my little Sophie got her FIRST haircut! It was extremely momentous.

And torturous.

Because even though my friend Amelia came over to our house and cut Sophie’s hair in the comfort of her own home, where she was sitting in front of her favorite tv show, Word World, she still screamed like she was being subjected to the most inhumane form of torture known to man. As a matter of fact, the above picture was the only one I got because Sophie spent the rest of her haircut holding on to my head as I held on to her entire being trying to keep her still!

It was CRAZY! She’s such a crazy.

So, Amelia was only able to get about two-three inches off. It looks great, though, and is slightly more manageable!

My dad even noticed without being told, which impressed my socks off! Of course, Sophie IS the apple of his eye.

A crazy, tempestuous, stubborn apple. Now with nicely trimmed hair!

(Which you can kinda sorta see in this picture of her on the tractor at Young’s Dairy!)

The closest I could get to a pose!

And yes, I did save a lovely, golden ringlet for posterity. How could I not?

I never tire of getting PAID to shop!!

More freebates at Rite Aid this week, people! Check the back page of your ad for CRAZY FREEBIES! Once again, my store had these all nicely stocked and on display up front! Woot! Here’s what I got:

about $13 profit at Rite Aid

I will say there was a wee bit of weirdness. The Children’s Oscillocooccinum would NOT ring up and then when it finally did, my $2 printable coupon would not work! Arrrgh! The cashier rang it up and voided it about 5 million times. It is literally on my receipt SIX times. So I left the store very confused about whether I had gotten the right price or not. From what I can tell I ended up paying 90 cents more than what I thought. But I was so glad to get out of there by the time it was all over that I didn’t care.

ANYHOO!

Simply Saline $3.99
