it's still cute

D attended an administrative retreat yesterday and there was a hat competition in honor of this book. He was just happy to be able to wear jeans and a hat to work one day and didn't find out about the competition until Monday!

One of his tasks for the day was helping a group learn how to use Twitter. He came up with some really great ideas, but as it was Monday night at 7:30 p.m. and we have veeerrry limited resources within close driving distance...it came down to this.


I cut a canary from yellow felt and went to work. Sadly, it didn't win. But you have to admit, that hat is pretty darn cute! And he looked really cute wearing it. :)

I knew the competition was tough when he snapped a photo with his phone and I couldn't even see the person's head under the ginormous wing-flapping creation on her head! Oh well, we'll be better prepared next year!
