Homecoming Week 2009

I'm still one of those goofy teachers that likes to dress up for Homecoming.

Halloween? Hate it.

Homecoming? Love it.
(I think it's because it's an excuse to wear something other than boring work clothes.)

And the kids love it.

Mesa High School Homecoming Week 2009
"Treasures Through Time"


Monday: Pajama Day

Who doesn't love waking up and going to work, on a MONDAY, in their pajamas.
I think every day should be pajama day!

And let's take a closer look at that awesome shirt...

A 90 degree angle and it says "I'm always right"!
Need I say more?
If I can't wear pajamas everyday, maybe this shirt could at least be my new uniform.
It's math related, right??

(PS... My sweet sister-in-law Kari and her daughter Emily came across this shirt online and felt I just had to have this shirt. So they sent me a totally unexpected "Back to School" package. The package alone was such a kind thought... the shirt was icing on the cake! Thank you Kari and Emily, again, for thinking of me! I love you both!)

Tuesday: Pirate Day


Pirate day?? Ok, whatever. I can do Pirate... especially with the help of a roommate who randomly has just about anything I find that I need. You're the best, Wendys!

Wednesday: Decades Day

Dress from your favorite decade... or at least (for me) the easiest one to rig up a costume.
Check the side pony tail. Hott. Or should I say radical...

Thursday: Animal Day

Ok, so this one was weak... but I was leaving right after school to catch my flight to Utah for Becca's wedding. So all I wore was this ridiculous headband with regular work clothes. Whatev.

Friday: Bridesmaid Day

Alright, it's true. Mesa High did NOT have a Bridesmaid Day... But I did!
More on Becca Wilson Clarkson's wedding later...
(Yep. Costa Rica works for some of us!)

You are so cute to dress up! And you're still looking so skinny! I am so so happy for Becca with her marriage!

You'd have been my favorite teacher if I had had you. :) You're a good sport to dress up. That shirt is hilarious--I totally laughed outloud. And it was so great seeing you while you were here.

and you said you only wanted to dress up for pajama day...
I knew you couldn't resist!
You're cool like that.
Something I never was.... :)

Love the dress-up days. That rt. angle shirt is so your cup of tea! And let me just say that you totally rocked it as a bride's maid. You look H-O-T! Plus from what I can tell that bm (sorry for the not so awesome acronym) outfit is one I would definitely wear to church and enjoy.
