hat day

It is "spirit week" or some such nonsense at school. Monday was pajama day - thank God for Hannah Andersson - it was snowing, and Kooka would have gladly donned her silky spaghetti strap nightgown if we didn't own the cozy pink and purple striped long johns.

Today was color day - orange for first grade, red for fourth. Tomorrow is backwards day, and who cares about Friday - because they won't be there anyway.

But the best day by far was hat day. It was not enough for Punk and Kooka to just plop any old hat on their heads and call it good. They both had to come up with an entire ensemble to complete the look. Punk had his orchestra concert that day, so he walked into school carrying his case - looking like a pee-wee Jason Mraz. And Kooka like a mini Colbie Caillat.

Since it was Tuesday (my volunteer day) I had a chance to scope out everyone else - and I must say - without a doubt, they were the coolest looking kids in the building.
