We were long over due in getting hair cuts for the kids. Today we finished up our school and I loaded up the kids to go get much needed trims.

Please ignore the Genius’ facial expression…she inherited that look from her dad’s side of the family ***and no that is NOT a dig. They seriously ALL do this in pics, Need proof? There was not even a flash with this photo. It was taken on my phone***
The girls asked if this time they could be the ones to tell the hair dressers what they wanted done. We had some discussions and I gave them permission. They were both giggly and excited. I kinda thought something was up. What was going to be a trim, turned into this!

I LOVE it!!!! They look so grown up and beautiful.
And not to be left out….The Professor went with clips 4 and 5. We were hoping to tone down his “rock star” look.


He looks so cute! I swear he looked 3 as soon as they shaved his hair off.
Do you let your kids choose their haircuts or do you still call the shots?


I just love Educational Insights and all they have to offer.  Since we are returning to home-school education this year, I have an increased appreciation for ALL the items they carry.  Recently I was sent another item to review.  This time it was the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock.

It is important to note this is a non-electric clock.  No batteries are ever needed for this!  How does it work?  Surprisingly simple!  Each clock works independently of each other.  On the main clock the time is shown in analog style.  As you change the time on the clock, the digital clock underneath will show the corresponding time as well.  This alone is a great visual demonstration of clock hands (analog) vs. digital.  You set the time on the first clock to the exact time at which you are starting an activity.  So your kids ask, “How long til we leave for school?”  You set the first clock for the current time.  Then wait.  When it is time to leave for school you set the time to second clock.  It will then tell you the amount of time that has elapsed.  To use in a classroom setting, teachers have the option of hiding the answer and having the students figure it out for themselves.  This is truly very versatile and useful for home or school.  And the fact that it never needs batteries is a HUGE bonus!
