Nerdness

I am a cool mom. My oldest son has been working on a Colonial unit at school and some of you will remember the coat and vest I made him for that. He wanted to dress up again as Paul Revere for one of his projects so I made him a matching hat yesterday. How cool is that? I was going to post a picture but it turned out kind of retarded. So I guess that lowers the coolness factor. Significantly. At least he was happy with it and went off to school wearing it today.

That's the story of my life. I guess I've always been a nerd, although I won't admit that to my husband. But I have halfway cool ideas and I try to prove that I am, after all, a cool person. But then my execution fails slightly and in the end, I'm still a nerd. Oh well.

It's shocking really when you see how well I used to dress:

You are cool! Very fashion-forward. And you are one of the most talented people I know. I am sure the hat turned out wonderful.

Well, you are very nice. The hat was okay--I guess it didn't have to be a masterpiece just for him to be PR. He seemed quite happy with it and I guess that's all that really counts.

What a nice blog to stumble across. I thought I recognized that little girl in that photo. A later picture of you with grandma confirmed my suspicions. Hope you're doing well.

oh my gosh!!!! adorable picture! SOOOO cute.

We are all nerds. I am a nerd, you are a nerd. I used to tell my students that because they were so afraid of being "nerds". When it was time for recess or lunch to end and they were all shuffling back into the classroom I would often stand at the door and say "The Meeting of the NErd Club will be held in this classroom!!!" and they all had to walk in because it was their classroom, thus, they were all nerds.

I love you my nerdy friend!!!!
