Helen's first haircut

Helen had her first haircut today. It was much needed. She has such fine, wispy hair -- so different than mine -- and I have no idea what to do with it. The boys get their hair cut with Cort at our neighborhood barber shop (Doug's barber shop, which was featured in the movie Rushmore). So I had to venture into new territory with Helen. I ended up getting her hair cut at a place called Little Lords and Ladies. It seemed a little over the top -- not to mention outside the loop (which, for non-Houstonians, is Loop 610, and there isn't much that warrants me driving that far), but turns out they are very nice there, very good with kids, and do a very good job.

Helen was great during the haircut, possibly due to the fact that they gave her a lollipop. She even let them blow dry her hair. She now has a cute little bob.

After the haircut we stopped by Target. What else better for a mother and daughter to do on a day off together? For the record, I don't think we technically shoplifted anything. But, when I returned home, I found several plastic Target hangers in my purse.
