crazy hair day 2012

Today being the Thursday before Good Friday, it is crazy hair day at school. The Reader has now gone off to another school, and Rainbow Girl has now moved into the part of the school where she participates in crazy hair day. Thank goodness they never overlapped, meaning we had to do TWO lots of crazy hair before school!

We have a bit of a reputation.

Ferris Wheel hair from 2011

When The Reader participated in crazy hair day, she won, 3 years out of the 4 that she was in it. You may remember our ferris wheel creation from last year.

One of the teachers told me last week that they’re expecting big things from us again this year. And many students have been asking Rainbow Girl what she’s having. All will be revealed later today – we always keep it a secret beforehand. But we do know that several families who have previously done well are no longer at the school.

Can you tell we play to win? This is one instance where a school assignment does not have to be the student’s work. How could they do their own crazy hair? It is completely expected and allowed for parents to go completely over the top.

The husband came up with an excellent idea on the weekend, and we were up rather late last night making the armature for it. Rainbow Girl has just woken up, seen the armature and come in to me, VERY excited!

Its going to be a fun day, and we’ll see if we can uphold our reputation!
