Purple Person!

I really don't have too much to say this evening, but I will say something. My Allan has been made a 'Purple People' at Mesa High this year. This is a big deal. In years past, this was NOT a club, boys would just show up to a football game with an M, or E, S or A painted on their belly and then the tradition grew to where they would paint their whole bodies and 'whoop' and 'holler' out in the crowd to keep spirits up. (I think it all started when a few boys who tried out for the cheer squad and didn't make it). just kidding... But - it got way out of hand, people getting crazy and probably hurt, etc., so the Student Council took it over and now there are try-outs to join - and....well.....we are proud parents of the one and only AND first freshman EVER that made the 'Purple People' - um - company? (just a reminder - this is the first year that Mesa High has 'actual' freshman or should I say 'official' freshman) So Allan will have this claim to fame for the rest of his life. Anyway, as most of you who read my blog know, Allan has always had school spirit - even back in grade school. (He dressed up as his 'hero', who was his teacher, Mr. Mann) Here are a few of his junior high photo's - just to stir up a few memories for us all:Dr. Seuss Day. Crazy Hair Day.Super Hero Day. And Decade Day. I can't remember what this day was, but it was while he was still in Brimhall Junior High. Remember Occupation Day? And finally Bobcat Spirit Day.......
This past week at Mesa High was Spirit Week and each day had a different 'theme'. Allan of course dressed up for them all. Crazy sock day, Occupation day again ( he wore one of Doug's work shirts), and these:Jersey Day, Crazy Hair Day, and finally Super Hero day: He is really wearing a SHIRT here, we just added what was needed to fake people out. Can you guess who he is? Oops! I think I already blogged about this, (check out August 19th) but oh, well.

Our bathroom remodel is going very slowly. Bummer, but we are replumbing, building two new walls, retiling, and everything else that goes into it.

AND I am obsessed with Donny Osmonds album (it's not new, 2005) - What I Meant to Say! I could seriously listen to it all day - especially tracks 1,4, 7, 9 and 12. LOVE IT! (deep breath) (Vayla, are you with me on this one?)
