So, through an oversight on my part, today was the first day of school– and I was at World Con.
I was sort of bummed about this– but Mate did an awesome job taking pictures for me, and the kids picked their outfits out very nicely.
Zoomboy is wearing a cat taking over the world shirt, bought for him by his grandparents to make up for the fact that he’s the only one who didn’t have a shirt with a cat like this, and he missed it. He is also wearing day glow shorts from last year, because nothing tops that much orange.
Squish is wearing pink capris and a blue fringe shirt, with a co-ordinating comb that my friend Rhae made for her, to match her lovely, amazing blanket. She was very pleased with her ensemble, and also pleased that her teacher is the tallest grownup at the school. A good day all around.
And Mom– Mom is wearing one of her favorite convention shirts coupled with black stretchy pants, with a coordinating convention badge and a Honeydew Martini. While it’s not what all conventioneers should wear, Mom is pleased with it because A. She never coordinates this good with anything, and B. Martini.
Also, I got to shake Robert Silverberg’s hand today. I’ve revered him since Tower of Glass.
More tomorrow!
