Hat Day

I'm so glad they still do Hat Day at schools.  Today, Madison had Hat Day and chose her pink cowgirl hat, which looked fabulous along with her pink ensemble.  This was a picture we took this morning before heading off to school.  Interestingly enough, one internet site lists International Hat Day as actually November 25th.  I'm not sure the thinking behind this:  I mean, Thanksgiving Day is bound to fall on November 25th from time to time, and who is going to be thinking about hats on a day like that?  No, having it earlier in the month is the better strategy.  Hats off to anyone who can see this through, although I have just discovered another site that has National Hat Day as January 15th.  Again, there seems to be a potential conflict of interest on this date, as it is exactly Martin Luther King's Birthday.  Now, if he wore a lot of hats, then I think we could possibly have an interesting combination to build on to make the holiday more interesting.

ANYWAY, Daddy spent a late night at work doing a pie fight of all things, which I think we'll be showing here soon - maybe even tomorrow after it is edited completely.  It was very messy, but essentially part of a life-long dream.  You see those pie fights on television, and just imagine how much fun it would be to get into one, tossing pies and getting completely covered in whipped cream.  Well, Daddy and the others were completely covered in whipped cream!

Mommy had meetings about the upcoming Christmas drama today, and Madison continued her practice for the piano recital once she got home.  Talking to Daddy on the phone, she was very proud of her effort with practice.

Tomorrow night looks like fun:  she's a part of the parade that precedes the arrival of Santa Claus at the Mall of Georgia.  Also, the lighting of their Christmas tree.  It'll be a really fun day!
