Last week Gio had to dress up like a super hero for school. Every November they have what's called "Caper Kick-off." Caper is a big hair event in Vegas that the students can work towards going to. They have to participate in all the events and they sale bag deals with product to earn money for the ticket. Because Gio is an instructor he is required to participate in order to go as well. He really wanted to because last year he wasn't able to go because during Caper kick-off we were on our honeymoon so he didn't fulfill the requirements. Last Wednesday night he called me at about 8:30 in a panic because he had been at Taylormaid for about 2 hours trying to find a cheap superhero costume and nothing fit. They were still out of a lot of costumes because of Halloween. I was immediately irritated of course because that ment I would be up all night trying to create something. He thought that he could be and invisible man wearing all black with a nylon on his head, but I thought that was lame. I immediately thought of Kung Fu Panda... Here's why. In the last month Gio has been bleaching his hair so that it is si
lver, well it was a process of course with his jet black hair. When he started his hair was the same color as Winnie the Pooh and all of his students started teasing him about it. He wasn't very happy about that (even though Pooh his his favorite Disney character!) Well once he got the color the way he wanted it that died but the Kung Fu Panda started! Gio was eating Chinese food one day for lunch with chop sticks. They started teasing him about it saying that he thought he was so cool for using chop sticks etc. Then someone said, You look like Kung Fu Panda right now... eating with chop sticks, white hair, brown skin, and he happened to be wearing a white shirt
with a black vest and black pants! The rest of the day everyone was singing "Everyone was Kung Fu Fighting!" He was a little annoyed with it and that is why I thought it Would be perfect for him to dress up like him! He came home that night and we had to wait for the home teachers to come and go so we didn't get to Walmart until about 10pm. I was exhausted already but we stayed up until 2am making his costume.. we hot glued the whole thing and Gio sewed on his ears! It was actually really fun. When he went to school that day he walked in with the kung fu fighting song playing on his phone. Everyone hit the floor laughing because they never expected it. He ended up winning an award for the best costume! I think that he looks awesome. He is a big teddy bear at heart so I think that is why I love that he really looks like a bear!
