The answer to "How are we going to pay for college"?


$29.98 (ever noticed how most things at Wal-Mart end in .98?)

Yep - clippers. Hair clippers.

Tyler needed a haircut this past weekend, and instead of spending $12 like we normally would, Kyle suggested we go buy a good pair of clippers from the store. He didn't want to borrow the neighbors (since he borrows everything else of theirs - I'm not sure where the clippers became off-limits), so off I went.

Kyle was so excited! "This will practically pay for itself with 2 haircuts!", he said. And the first haircut began.

Unfortunately, the only look we can seem to get is the buzz. Kyle used a one guard on the back and two guard on the top - but it pretty much is a one guard all over. A nice summer doo - but I think we may have to consider this our "summer savings opportunity", and if we want this kid to have a chance at having hair on his head during the winter months - cough up the $12 for Cost Cutters to do the doo.

I'll post a picture of Tyler new look as soon as I can get him to sit down.

That's funny! Mike and I had the same discussion about his haircuts, and we ended up buying a set of hair clippers. It's already paid for itself many times. And it just takes a little time and practice to figure out which guards to use and how, you'll get it!

Can't wait to see the pics :)
