4 - favorite color
I have lots of favorite colors -- aqua, red, coral, navy, white, grey -- but I quite enjoy watching Anna in her pink-ified soccer clothes. At each practice she has worn a different headband, including one with a big flower. And when the ball goes out of bounds she giggles with her hands up to her mouth. Ahhh, the girlishness.
5 - someone i love
The kids at the school open house / ice cream social tonight. I think Anna is finally excited for kindergarten after seeing her classroom, desk, teacher, other kids she knows, and going crazy on the play structure. (Which, according to Conner and Payton is the best play structure ever.) Payton is sitting next to one of his best friends, which may or may not be a good thing. :) And Conner picked up with Mr. B right where they left off last year in math class -- joking & teasing.
6 - childhood memory
{ taken at OMSI today}
more like a highschool memory . . . my first try at a VDG generator was in my freshman year Physical Science class with Mr. Frago. I had put my hair in rollers that day, as I often did, for a light bouncy curl. When it was my turn to stand up to the dome everyone in the class ooo-ed and ahhh-ed and made a fuss about how cool my hair looked. All these wavy strands sticking straight up and out . . . like a flower, some said. I never got to see it -- no mirrors, no pictures. But it felt cool to be special about something . . . even if it was for hair that stands straight up.
