This blog should be scrapbooked!!

I am not one to go looking at blogs most of the time. I know it sounds like a double standard since I have a blog. The main reason is that if I start looking I can't seem to stop, much like eating M&Ms or Lays potato chips...I can't stop at just one!

I caught this story on yahoo news yesterday and sure enough I had to go look. It interested me because it said this dad dressed in a costume every day to wave at his son on the school bus. I thought surely it was some type publicity stunt. But actually it was a great story about these parents who were excited about the bus finally coming down their street and wanting to wave goodbye to their son. The first day they waved together and then the second day the costumes started. It lasted throughout the school year! The dad did miss one day due to strep throat and running a fever but other than that I think he made it out every morning to wave at his son, with the mother taking the pictures.

I certainly hope these people scrapbook because these pictures and the stories need to be properly adorned!

If you have time check out the WAVE AT THE BUS blog. You might have to click older posts to see the rest of the pictures, but it is totally worth it!
