Haircuts

I have been wanting to cut the boys hair for a while now, but Cart wanted to wait until school was over and just shave his head. So yesterday was the last day of school. We took the boys out to the back deck and started shaving Carters. I had a pack of 12 Reeces Peanut Butter Cups, and as they would finish I would give them one. Caden was already shaved. Colby jumped up quick for a treat. We shaved him as low as it would go. He keeps walking around rubbing his head. Too cute! Then it was Cael's turn. He was hesitant, but really wanted a Reeces, so up he jumped. Then it was just Cars. We had 6 left, so I told him that if he shaved his head I would give everyone another one. He said no way. At dinner earlier Chet told him he would pay him $10 to shave it. He said no. Then his face lights up, and he says, "Give me all 6 to myself and I will!" I said ok too fast. Then he was like wait. Finally he says, "I want an entire package to myself. 12!" Chet and I look at each other pretending to be thinking about it (worth only $1.78, way less than the $10 we offered 30 min earlier) and said, "Ok, I guess." We couldn't have moved any faster to get the middle shaved, because then it was too late to change his mind. That ugly mop on top of his head for over a year is GONE!!! Wahoo! He later asked if he could change his mind and stay up until 10 instead of candy. Saved me a trip to the store, I quickly agreed. He stayed up until 10, watching Diary of a Wimpy Kid snuggled in my bed and covers. He was happy as a clam. Little does he know, he could have gotten $10, 12 Reeces, AND stayed up until 10 all week so that we could shave that mop. He could have gotten that for all his brothers too! We'll just leave it at a night for 1 until 10 for now. I am sure that a few more years will require a lot more negotiating!
