...Well done, Missus! These touches are gorgeous. <br /><br />Leah-- My unsolicited advice on cutting a boy's hair (I know you've enjoyed seeing the myriad of ways in which I've butchered Zeke's thick mop) is this: grab some scissors, give him a leftover candy cane from Christmas, and snip away for 20 minutes while he wiggles and jerks and sniffles. Close your eyes if necessary. You might also want to keep your eyes closed for the following month while the hair grows back in. ;)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-20029541854383443932015-04-13T09:15:50.523-05:002015-04-13T09:15:50.523-05:00hanging on by a thread to see this party.

I would not expect anything different! ;-) So that is why you've been blogging absent! You better share details too, Missy. I'm sure it will be amazing.<br /><br />Emily- that is just exactly what I thought. The Lord chose the perfect person for me to ask!<br /><br />Leah- thank you! I will! As for haircuts...my advice is to search on Pinterest for haircutting tutorials for boys. I wing it. I usually start with clippers , short and close, from neck up to temple and then use scissors (or the largest attachments) for the top of the head. That's about all I can muster. I usually use scissors on Judah's because it is so fine and because I like the color of his hair so much I prefer it longer but I don't know how to do keep a whole head of hair and have it look tidy. I think I will take my own advice and check Pinterest too. ;-)<br /><br />Marlene- thanks! I am so excited that you are coming! Can't wait to see you all! Have a safe drive!<br /><br />Christina- thanks so much! <br /><br />Anon.- making it a surprise takes the whole thing up a notch! I can't believe you managed to organize that whole thing- even out of town guests- in secret! Well done! It sounds like it will not be soon forgotten!<br /><br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-65957719405851432252015-04-09T22:37:13.847-05:002015-04-09T22:37:13.847-05:00It will be such a lovely party.

We decided to do a three in one party and it was beautiful. It was kept completely secret and my parents reaction was priceless. We even had family fly in from across Canada and Michigan for the day. My mother still raves about how wonderful a surprise it was. <br /><br />I hope your day is beautiful, as I am sure it will be.

Please share our joy for/with them in this exciting celebration. <3 <br /><br />Everything looks beautiful! You've done an amazing job! <br /><br />Scott and I have finally gotten back to making soap. It has been so fun!<br /><br />And speaking of cutting hair, do you have any tips for me on giving Samuel his first haircut? When the older boys needed their first haircut, I just buzzed it off but I can't bring myself to do that this time.Leah T.http://www.reformedfarmerswife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-4211911618876118452015-04-09T12:42:49.666-05:002015-04-09T12:42:49.666-05:00I just loved reading about how the Lord led you to...I just loved reading about how the Lord led you to the perfect woman at Sam's to assist you in buying the flowers!
