The final piece of the TAG school projects this year was History Alive night. The fourth and fifth graders had to participate in the wax museum, where they dressed up as their famous person and make a brief speech for each 'tour group.' The third graders were the tour guides, responsible for shining the spotlight on each wax figure.
Rudy had a major, epic, meltdown as we were preparing to leave that evening. Biggest one we'd had in many, many months. His teacher had told tour guides to wear white shirts and dark pants, which might have been fine if she'd told them anytime before the DAY OF the event. Or, if I hadn't just the week before packed up almost all of the long pants to store in the garage for when the house was listed. I'd only left out a few pairs of jeans and a few pairs of khakis for each of the boys, and Rudy got it in his head that dark blue jeans were simply not acceptable. It was bad. After a lot of cajoling, yelling, and threatening...we finally got out the door. Sheesh.
Brady was Frank Lloyd Wright, assisted in his research by our trip last fall to Fallingwater. Once we made it to the school, the rest of the evening went off smoothly. It was great to see all of the students with their costumes, and the wide variety of celebrities chosen.
