living vicariously through Clare



Oh, High School Spirit Day!!!  Even though we've moved Clare's school colors are the same as my old school colors so this morning brought back some great memories.  I helped her make shirts last night and we bought tons of ribbon and some sparkly fake eye-lashes.  I loved Spirit Day when I was in high school! I remember that we all used to get together and decorate shirts and shorts together and then get to school early to do each other's hair and makeup.  All the halls were decorated by the different classes and it was just an awesome day to be in school.  When else do you get to dress like a complete idiot on purpose?  And then of course the pep rally which means that instead of going to class you got to participate in games that made you look even more stupid!

I obviously don't really want to go back to high school, but I think that we should have more days like that in general.  I don't know...maybe a Family Spirit Day and each family dresses up in awkward outfits with colors that describe who they are and then all the families compete in stupid games together?  That would probably be kind of hard to organize and I'm not sure how many families would want to participate, but I think it would be fun! For the record, I think our family colors would be green and gold!
