This week at Allan's school, they are having Spirit Week. Each day of the week is a different theme and the kids are supposed to dress accordingly. Monday was Hawaiian Day. Being that I, the mom, wasn't here, he forgot to dress up. Tuesday we worked really hard and ended up with this: It was Super-Hero Day. Hmm... Mom's jammy top, Doug's speedo suit (a white-elephant gift if I recall), and a cape for the grandkids to play with. Reminds me of Kevin totally.
(Kevin, a few years ago). Super-Hero Day at Mesa High.
When I went to drive Allan to school, we pulled in the usual drop off spot and we couldn't find ANYONE in ANY kind of outfit. We decided to pull into the next parking lot and look at kids there - NOTHING. So, we drove around the back of the school checking things out - NOT A HAT, T-SHIRT, CAPE - NOTHING! We ended up by the bus drop off area and again, NADA! Allan, getting a little worried asked me to call the school from my cell phone and be sure it was today - I did and the lady at the front desk had to put me on hold and go ask someone else! WHAT?! Apparently she didn't dress up. But, in a minute she was back and said, "Yes, today is Hero Day". Well, we ended up dropping Allan off right where we started at and here he is walking up to the school. He looks a little nervous, doesn't he?

Did he take the red speedos off? It sort of looks like it. It is a little easier to be brave without those on. Either way, he's my superhero of the week!

Takes a lot of nerve to dress up like that. Do any other students dress up too???

Responding to Carrie -NO he did NOT take off the speedo's. You can't see them because they are behind the notebook. But all day long he was asked if they were his sisters underwear!
