I tried and tried again to plan a Not Back to School Celebration for our local home ed community, but the weather would just not cooperate! So KM and I decided to go back to our roots and do what we usually do for NOT back to school - breakfast, library and whatever we please!
After the third round of buses rolled by the house this morning, I decided to wake up K, so we could head out to breakfast with CJ. While we waited for our food we played hockey with the twisted straw wrappers and the plastic ad holder.
Then we headed to the library and and came out with a bagful of books!
KM spent some time chatting and playing on line with some friends and then
we decided to bust out the hair dye!!!
While it processed we watched Cyberbully - a MUST see for all teens and parents - on the new monitor!
It is rather difficult to get the colors to show while it is still damp, I will have to try for a better shot. There are two shades of green - a torquois and a GREEN and purple which is more easily seen!
What did you do on your NOT back to school day?

What a wonderful idea with the hair dye...our eldest (and youngest) have been wanting to dye their hair for ages, i have been worried about getting it on their scalp! This might be a goer:)
"School" years start in January here, but one day i think we might organise a "not back to school" event:)
I forgot to ask what kind of dye you used?
You can also use a cap, but really if you don't want it on their scalp dip dying is the best way to go - you don't actually dip it, it just looks that way.
We used two different brands - this is the 4th time we are dying her hair and we used the leftovers from before - The purple and the green are RAW and the turquoise/blue is Manic Panic.
The purple is really strong, but also rubs off for a few days, no matter how much it is initially rinsed.
We tried the route before of stripping her hair first, but she is just not patient enough to wait that long and it didn't really make the color last that much longer.
Good Luck!
