Crazy Hair Day

The kids have Crazy Hair Day at their school each year. After shaving Clark's head a few weeks ago we were about to give him a high and tight to avoid the awkward half inch buzzcut look. I figured since I'd be shaving the sides soon, we might as well have some fun with his hair. He got announced over the school PA for being one of the winners for crazy hair! I cut it the night before and Yogurl colored it in with hair chalk the next day. That helped make it look less like alopecia areata.

 I tried using the school's pawprint as a guide for the back of his head. This was the hardest one, but I think it turned out all right.

LHE pride!
Not related to his school, but helps him run faster. 

The picture of Sabrina from the front came out blurry. Her hair had pipe cleaner in it so it was sticking out in long swirls. Maybe next year double helices?

I smooshed 3 wasps with a single blow. Not quite the Brave Little Tailor, but I felt pretty mighty. They kept building nests on our fence and I figured I had to actually kill them rather than knock down their next over and over and over. A couple were still in pretty good shape after the smooshing, so the kids spent some time looking at them up close. This one was still wiggling its mandibles. If anybody would like to render a more accurate classification of this bug (than just wasp, which might not even be accurate), I'd be happy to hear it. Clark loves bugs, but my knowledge of them is pretty elementary.

What fun. I remember when combing your hair forward in a "Beatles" style was considered extreme and would get you sent home. Love the lightning flash on the side. Sabrina was cute with all the flowers. Love Opa
