7and8

Last night was back-to-school night at 7s brand new school. We mentioned to him that we would where going to change our clothes before we went. He decides to change his clothes too.

We are driving to the school giggling and wondering how many people will notice our boy's fashion faux pas. We walk into school prepared for the worse and see that we are the one of the first to arrive. Great, now everyone will see us with the coordinated kid. Then we notice that there is a severe lack of children at this event. I mean severe. I mean 7&8 where the only kids there, and there were 100+ parents. I was mad, at my self for missing the 'don't bring your kids' instruction. I searched the flyer when I got home and there was NO mention that this would be an experience just for mom and dad.

So we stuck out like a sore thumb, I only wish it was for mixing plaids.

BTW both kids where exceptionally well behaved, I was very proud.
