Party in the Back

Well, Josiah was disappointed to hear that the same staff member who took over posters for his play has also taken over designing the t-shirt design.  Those were the two things he wanted a hand in doing for the marketing department.  He does get to deliver the posters to businesses this week, so he's looking forward to cruising around with the 11th graders.  

Josiah was asked by the hair people (for the play) to take off an inch of his hair.  He and I headed to Great Clips.  Josiah said he was going to ask for a low taper fade and an inch off the top.  Great.  The hair stylist asked me if I wanted to chime in and I said, with confidence, he knew what he wanted.  He could tell her himself.  I was getting my hair cut on the opposite side of the store, but I could see Josiah in my mirror.  I saw that she cut the sides of his hair and I assumed she was working on the low taper fade portion of the haircut.  We both finished around the same time.  We walked to the register, I looked at him and saw he still had a lot of hair in the back.  By the time we walked outside I said, You have a mullet!  What happened?  When the stylist asked him if he wanted the low taper fade in the back, he said, no.  No!  He had a mullet.  So we went home, got our razor out, and I cut off the party in the back.  There are still signs of the mullet up by his ears, but he has a month until the play so that should grow out and we can clean it up before opening day.  

The upper school had dance day this week.  While I was waiting for my K3 class to get out of music, I watched the 6th and 7th graders. I tried to sneak a picture of Caroline.  

We saw our first act of violence in the pond out front.  It looked like the big white duck was trying to drown a smaller mallard.  I was going to have the boys take a closer look when a neighbor walked out and was watching them.  It went on for at least 10 minutes before they separated and then I could see three ducks - the big white one, the mallard, and a smaller white one that must have been in the middle.  The little white one quickly swam away.  The mallard followed, but doubled back and flew to the big one flapping it's wings as big as it could before retreating.  So that was interesting.  I guess they don't always get along.  

Josiah had friends over this weekend to make another video.  They did a Sports Battle video - badminton, football, and basketball.  Todd got a picture of the filming in action.  

And since I was out of town again, they got to eat out.  We've discovered that Culver's custard is incredibly good.  So smooth.  

Meanwhile, I hung out with Grandma, Grandpa, and Maggie and had a very nice visit.  Maggie was pleased with my departure because she didn't have to share her chair anymore.
