Such Proudness
The program always takes place first thing in the morning and the kids are allowed to have a play day afterwards if they choose to remain at school. My boys all wanted to stay and hang out with friends so I packed each of them some ratty clothes to change in to since I obviously dressed them decently for their presentations.
Really, I did try to dress them well. Give me that much credit.
So, imagine my surprise when Boy 3 comes marching in the gymnasium wearing this:
Apparently the kid decided it would be perfectly acceptable to wear a backward baseball cap and funky t-shirt during the program so he changed his clothes twelve minutes after he got to school. I could scarce watch him walk across the floor for worrying about all the parents who were surely asking themselves who the Loser Mom was who would dress her kid like a Little Rascal on Awards Day.
If only there were a prize for Moms Who Are Forever Being Scammed By Their 8-Year-Olds.
Oh I would totally win….
Sorry, Mom but I think he’s adorable! One day it won’t matter! He is such a cutie! I wanted to personally thank you for all of your hard work with the Siesta Fiesta blog! You girls are amazing! I can’t wait to meet you in person soooooooon!
Love,
Angie xoxo
Oh, I’m right with you! He’s a cutie, but I would have wrung my kid’s neck!
That’s when you just say he’s Luke’s son!
Sounds like something my boys would do!
I have two boys and I still get surprised by what they do. I love your sense of humor.
I really like the new look. I’m going to have to update my “do” soon too.
I look forward to Siesta Fiesta! I hope to meet you there!
Blessings in Christ–
OH HE IS PRECIOUS!!
I bet the girls go ga ga over him :)
Aren’t you glad he brought something to change into before the ceremony – he probably just wanted you to sweat it out – hehe
Love ya

It sounds like something my oldest daughter would have done!It is too cute (because it wasn’t my kid). he is a doll by the way. Little rascal or not….
Ummm – my 4 year old does this OFTEN.
She will *SECRETLY* wear one shirt under then one I pick out for her to wear and then take the top one off when she gets to school.
She did this for half of the year before I said something about it to her teacher. To which her teacher replied “She does it all the time.”
I was thinking — thanks for the heads up!
Anyways – he is a cutie! And would you kill me if I say I think in this picture he looks a bit like Christie?!!?
He is cute as a button no matter what he is wearing! You have great kids!!
Love, love, love the new face of your blog!!!!
Well, at least the shirt is a Christian one. That’s gotta count for something, right?!!? ;)
Boys are good at that, but he really does look cute!

Ahh, don’t worry. His shirt says Bible Education on it. That should count for something, right? :)
Plus, that kid is stinkin CUTE!
That is hilarious! My boy would totally pull that and think I was bonkers for being bothered by it!
And dare I mention he is 12?
Gotta love those boys.
Oh the mind of a boy!! They are different birds aren’t they?? Just kidding…I agree with everyone else…he’s so dern cute who cares! :)
BOYS! Thats all I gotta say, I had three of them. So all I can say “was the shirt clean?” if so then ….go with the flow. I know you were just beaming with pride as he accepted the awards he earned. -Blessings, Laurie
Thanks for the warning! I could totally see my boys doing that…
This is why I loved raising boys!! He is adorable!! Wait until they become teenagers, I can truly help you then. lol!!!
Love Ya,
Patty
I think he looks pretty cool! Boys are an interesting bunch! If you could only see what my son can choose to wear to school! YIKES!!!! Speaking of scammed, I have allowed my son to start riding his bike to school, and tell him to cross the major street at the crossing guard. So my sister says to me “when did you start allowing Jeremiah to wear his MP3 player while riding his bike” HMMMMMM….. looking at said boy! I wonder……
He looks totally cute!!! Sounds just like my 9 year old. It’s all about comfort, Mom.
LOL. Its good to know that all boys have a common thread! *giggle*
