Before I made a HUGE blunder today :( I've been thinking that we should give Mitchell his first haircut, and we've become pretty good at shaving the cat (ha!) so for some reason I honestly thought I could give Mitchell a good haircut. My friend, Celeste, cut her sons hair and it turned out good, so why not right? OMG - I seriously miscalculated the length of the guard and used one MUCH too short!

He looks like we enlisted him in the military! :( Jacob and I referred to him as Sergeant Folks or "Sarge" all day.
We finally took our first family bike ride today! We went to the park down the street and had a picnic. Jacob was the lucky puller of Mitchell's attachment. Yes, Mitchell is inside, but you can't see him because he feel asleep! (See below!) The route to the park is rather hilly. In the midst of one of the hills, Jacob claimed that it was harder than the half marathon that he ran last fall. I'm not so sure I'm ready to give it a try :)
We had our neighborhood picnic this afternoon. I put a hat on Mitchell and didn't take it off even when the sun went down! There are three families that have babies in Mitchell's age range (one is actually 1 day older than Mitchell). We're going to go trick or treating with them on Halloween!

Looks like you guys got to have you family fun weekend. Your stories and pictures are great! You can look at the haircut as one way to highlight Mitchell's eyebrows. They stand out more now! He's such a cuti. One haircut can't hurt!

he looks pretty intimidating with that military haircut....ha, ha, ha, just kidding it actually looks really cute. His hair will be really really easy to wash and less food will get in it, that is a plus :) -- he is adorable as always, can't wait to see him for Thanksgiving and or Christmas!!

He still looks cute, don't feel bad! I did way worse, believe me.
When Dylan was about that age I decided just to trim the long hairs above his ear, he didn't have much on the top yet.
Well I accidentally cut the top of his ear, like almost a tiny chunk out! OMG, I felt like the worst mother in the world. Hardly bothered him at all though thank goodness.
Yeah after that I never tried to cut any hair ever again. :)
