Crazy Hair Day

Every year, my kids' school has Spirit Week--a week to be silly at school. It's as important as Halloween to my kids. They plan for it all year. Well, one of the days included in Spirit Week is Crazy Hair Day--our favorite! Each class picks one boy and one girl to walk in the Crazy Hair Parade, and McKenna has been picked each year. Check out the last few years:
Crazy Hair Day 2008 (First Grade)


Crazy Hair Day 2009 (Second Grade)

2009 (Kyler in Kindergarten)

Well, after winning two years in a row, the pressure was on for Mom to again create a hair masterpiece! We went with a Valentine theme this year:
Crazy Hair Day 2010... and of course... she took home the class prize.

I tried to talk Kyler into doing mud and gummy worms, but he wasn't feeling it. He was pretty pleased with this though. He was loving the silly do... until we drove up to the school... and then he wouldn't get out of the car!! (Kyler's a little less flamboyant then McKenna.) I had been up all night with a sick Ashton, and then up really early to do hair... so I wasn't very patient with his self consciousness. He finally peeled himself out of the car, and was immediately greeted with praise from his friends, so he felt better! He didn't win his class prize, but he kept it in on all day and ended up having a lot of fun. I was proud of him.


Love the profile shot! It shows how huge Kenna's hair actually was!

Even Carson and Ashton got in on the Craziness!

This is definitely the craziest hair day do's I have EVER seen! How in the world do you do that? And how in the world are you going to get bigger and better each year? By the time they are in 6th grade, their hair might not fit through the door! ;) What a fun mom you are!
