Purple Haze
This is Mr. Simon. He's the principal of Arlington Classics Academy where both Sadie and Madeline go to school. No, your eyes are not deceiving you and your monitor is not shot, his hair is purple. Friday night was the school carnival. One of the things they did to raise money was to have a raffle to decide what color Mr. Simon's hair should be colored on Monday (today). When I got to the school this morning and saw him I couldn't help but laugh. What a great sport. I'm sure this was a huge money maker for the school. Here he is directing traffic in all his purple haze glory. And for those of you who need an Anna fix, here you go. If you click on the picture to make it big you can see the teeth coming in.
I am a mom of 5 beautiful, smart, wonderful children. But who doesn't believe that of their children? OK, I have a 27 year old who is married to a lovely young lady who I am proud to call my daughter-in-law. I have a 23 year old who tours with the band "Super Water Sympathy" and you should check them out. I have a 14 year old softball playing girl. I have a 12 year old independent, free spirit and a 7 year old cute as a button. Our life is never dull. Our house is rarely clean (all of it - all at once)and my meals are rarely well rounded. But, we have fun and make fun memories. Opening day of baseball season is a national holiday in our house. Oscar night a night that mommy should not be disturbed and Sundays are a day of rest or should be.
