Inevitably, each day, one of the kids has had a somewhat "off" or downright hair-brained idea for what they want to do.
Today is bring your favorite book and dress like your favorite book character. Noah, not surprisingly, is Harry Potter. Love it when you can get more than one wear out of a Halloween costume.
Caleb had a different idea. An idea he came up with at 7:00 a.m. this morning. He wanted to be the Lorax.
Notice anything about the Lorax? Other than the fact that he is bearded and bald? Yeah, he is also naked. Buck raving hairy naked.
Um yeah, Caleb, not going to happen. I am neither letting you go to school nude nor do I have a giant hairy naked body costume laying around.
So while it warmed my little green heart that his favorite character was the earth-loving Lorax, we had to veto the idea. And veto it we did. Causing great anger and tears along the way.
Instead? He finally settled on being a super hero from Bob McLeod's "SuperHero ABC."
The letter T specifically. Which pretty much means he is wearing a white undershirt with red electrical tape on the front made into the letter T. So much for creativity 10 minutes before leaving the house.
But then again, he will never be known as the kid who came naked to school in second grade.
