Spirit Week

It's Spirit week at Santan Elementary school.  We have never been a full on participant in years past.  It really was because we didn't want it to take away from the academic focus for our oldest child.   You know, the playing with the fun hat all day or looking at the other kids instead of doing her kindergarten work.  That continued for several years.   Here and there we allowed some fun to slip in - a well deserved pajama day is always a good one.

Ingrid was really ready this week for Beach day.  She asked me to look through her shirts and shorts and help cobble together an outfit.  Here's the problem: we're not beach people.  I found some khaki bemudas, a flower shirt with a hood and a flower for her hair.  Add sunglasses and that's what we got. Just before she left for school I thought of something.  Her swimsuit cover up was plenty long.  She quickly removed her shirt, added a tank underneath and then was rocking the beach "towel" look.
