Tiny Lightning Rods

Today, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, the elementary school kids were supposed to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character.

Neither of mine were interested. Liam flat out refused, but I finally convinced Amelia that she'd make a convincing Cindy Lou Who.

A couple of pipe cleaners and elastics later, she headed off to school.


(This is how she insists on smiling for pictures lately.)

And about an hour after she left, I realized I'd sent her off with two metal wires protruding from the top of her head on a day when we're supposed to be battered by super-cell thunderstorms.

I put tiny little lightning rods on her head. And sent her off into a thunderstorm.

Worst mother ever.

Ha. I'm thinking she won't be the tallest thing around so her little lightning rods shouldn't pick up much. Still a good mom.

I got Laura a yellow dress and cut a star out of green poster board so she was a Star-bellied Sneetch. That's about as creative as I get. I was going to do her hair, but me touching her hair usually sparks a temper tantrum. Today, I got tears as it was. Such drama.

Ha ha... I'm sure she made it home ok. And if she was wearing sneakers or shoes with rubber soles she should have been grounded!!!
