Monday started with the boys being able to dress in neon colors. Both Sumner and Henry gave me a confused stare when I said "neon" clothes so I explained to them that neon clothes are really bright colors that everyone wore in the 1980's. That resulted in a discussion about how old Mommy is so not exactly the direction I was hoping. Instead I tried to show them pictures of neon oranges and greens. Henry immediately realized he had a neon green shirt he could wear. Sumner couldn't really find anything neon in his closet but he picked out a lime green shirt that we decided could pass as neon. First day checked off!
Second day involved a class theme with each classroom picking their own theme. Henry's 1st grade class picked "beach wear" which was easy for him to accomplish. Sumner's classroom picked "PJs" as their theme which was a little trickier. In our house, all the men wear their boxer briefs to bed and that's it - less wash and they want to be like Daddy. Needless to say, Sumner needed another outfit so luckily we decided that athletic shorts and a comfy t-shirt would have to pass for PJs.
The third day was crazy/mismatched clothes day and both boys had a field day with this one. Sumner went with his favorite hat that has a built-in wig in it (which has been worn for school dress-up occasions for probably at least three years) paired with a t-shirt that he adores that has a tie painted on it. To finish it off, he wore two different sneakers on his feet. Henry opted for a polo shirt with a bow tie (ie, dressed up) with athletic shorts (ie, casual) and then of course, two different sneakers on his feet. They both looked pretty darn cute and all of the elementary school kids at our bus stop in the morning were certainly a sight to be seen!
Thursday was Favorite Sports Star Day. Sumner sported his Cam Newton jersey and Henry went with the Carolina Hurricanes. Fun to see all the interpretations!
