I’m not great at spirit days. My kids don’t care too much about them and we often forget about them until the last minute. When Dekker was in kindergarten, I worked hard to get him all done up for spirit days, almost always having to venture into the city to find something to correlate with the special day. I felt SO sick about it the first time I missed a dress up day, but he didn’t even seem to notice. So I let some of the pressure slide off of myself and I just do my best.
Every day this week is a dress up day. Yesterday was favorite color day. I talked to Dekker about it the night before and we pulled out his orange hoodie and an orange shirt. But in the morning, he opted for a blue shirt instead, just because. So that was that. Pretty anticlimactic.
Today was crazy hair day, and I figured that was a pretty easy one. However, I should’ve had some foresight here. I needed a creative idea for Dekker because he has less hair to work with, and I wish I had picked up some of those spray-in colors in advance! I promised him a mohawk, and he graciously accepted his “bunny ears.”
Laela had more hair and it would be easier to do, but she’s a class A doddler, and I should’ve anticipated needing more time. We banded together in the end, and Brady packed up her backpack for her while I made her her own mohawk. Lol! A bun mohawk.
The whole purpose of this post is this picture…
Aren’t they adorable? 😍
They’re all bundled up for school, wearing oversized toques to not mess up their ridiculous hair, but its ok because it continues to be too cold to be outside and breathe at the same time. At least their hair is done and I didn’t totally drop the ball. They’re happy.
Lol, great job , Mom!!😁
They are cute!! Could you send me that picture?:)
