Struck Gold

We are in the home stretch to the end of the school year.   Two weeks, exactly 9 1/2 days to go....and YES we have been counting for weeks now.   Spirit week begins tomorrow and tomorrow is wear your favorite color day.  Anders' favorite color is gold.  Clothing doesn't really come in gold and Anders certainly doesn't have anything gold to wear.  SO....brainstorming led us to the idea that he could paint his clothes.  After a trip to Goodwill and the craft store, he set off painting and spray-painting his entire outfit.... a t-shirt, shorts, socks, and an old pair of sneakers,  GOLD.  Yes sireee!  He'll be the goldest, most spirited boy, with the stiffest most toxic smelling clothes on,  in school tomorrow.   But he'll have spirit, that's for sure.  And quite honestly, if we could bottle his enthusiasm about this we could be millionaires.    Gotta love this boy!
