It was 1st grade Family Night at JR's school, they sang songs from music class and also showed what they'd been learning in PE (more on that later). They told us that the kids should dress up, but come on, this is Durango. I just figured the kids would wear their dress snowpants. JR was in the Christmas play at church and wore a sweater and was dressed completely appropriate. I never dreamed kids would dress up for a school family night more than the church Christmas play! I almost died when we walked in. Every single boy but JR was wearing at least a button down long sleeve dress shirt. JR's friend, Kelley, ran up to him as soon as we got there and I did a double take. He was wearing a fedora! I turned to Kelley's mom and said, "Oh my goodness! Kelley looks like Justin Timberlake!" Of course I would have had JR in a 3-piece suit (or some other suitable boy band accessories) if I known what these kids were going to be wearing (because that fedora was seriously cute). JR kept talking about all the PE stuff they were going to do, so I had even thought about sending a pair of shorts for him! Naturally, I expected the girls to be decked out. JR said, "Mom! Did you see Emma? She looks like she's going to a fancy dinner!" But I never dreamed the boys would be so fancy. And just to show you I'm not exaggerating, here's a picture of JR standing on the risers about to sing. Now the kids had already done their PE show so most of the boys have their shirts untucked, but you'll see I'm not kidding...these guys were dressed up!

For crying out loud in church. Thank goodness you didn't send him in his hunting clothes. They might have made him sit on the sidelines. Maw Maw
The best part is the look on JR's face - it says "I am properly dressed, all these other kids have gone a little overboard." And you know, he's right!
