We have spirit, yes we do!

We have spirit, how about you?

The DQ today had Crazy Hair day at school - to celebrate school spirit. She looks great as a redhead!

I never could have asked my dad about this, and that’s ultimately why I agreed. It’s her last year in Elementary school and she’ll be moving on, so it’s her last chance to do this at her school. Every year I consider getting some temporary hair dye and letting her go to it. I kind of expected more of a Stephanie result, but this dark pink outlook looks good too.

There were kids there with colored hair, kids who had it in braids that were moussed up to look like pippi longstocking, and one kid had stuck a balloon in her hair and pulled it up and around it so that she looked like either a conehead or marge simpson.

I want my girls to have a lot of the things I wanted when I was a kid. I’m constantly comparing how I see their childhood against how I see my own (through the fog of the years since then) and I just want them to be happier than I was. And stronger, especially when it comes to money. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to talk to them about money.
