Buzz Cuts!

It's now officially a tradition for Sam and his friends to get buzz cuts once school is out for the summer. The group lost two members and gained two. Charlie immediately regretted getting his buzz cut last year and said he would never do it again (smart kid!), and RJ wasn't allowed to get one this year. Ian, however, doesn't have a girlfriend to impress this year and took the . After watching the rest get their cuts, Frank decided he wanted to join in. - and he loves it!

Here's a picture from last year:

This year they got started a little early. Brayden and Levi showed up at our house Saturday morning the week before school ended wanting to try out mullets for a week before buzzing it all off. Only Levi's hair was long enough for a proper mullet and it was hilarious.

Then they ended up having scheduling conflicts on the last day of school so they all cut their hair the day before, which meant they all got to show off their new do's at school. But first, they gave each other TERRIBLE haircuts and went out in public to show them off. It was too late to go out to supper at the local restaurant so they had to settle for shopping at Dollar General. Usually you wouldn't run into too many people there, but they lucked out as a bus with the entire Dawson girls' softball team was there. The boys, of course, rolled with it, asking the girls if their barber did them good and if they thought their cuts were "worth the $100 they paid." Half the girls said they looked great, half said they looked horrible, and I think all of them have decided to never date boys from Minneota. 

On their way to Dollar General.

I don't have a picture of the completed buzz cuts, but they look pretty much the same as last year. The kids at school had a good laugh seeing them all the next day.
