Fortunately we Dutch folks do not suffer fools. We're also known for being blunt. It'll be fun!!Americans already have the stereotype of being rude American when overseas. If they ever go to The Netherlands even for one day. They will be experts on all things Dutch. Forget Rick Steves, Anthony Bourdain, or Lonely Planet guidebooks. They know nothing compared to Jenn.
When I was 11 (back in the ancient 60’s), we had an international day in our class. I represented Greece and my mother and I tricked out a sheet to make a toga like garment. My fav part was gluing fake flowersI’m guessing they totally missed the purpose of the assignment. I’m sure the kids are supposed to dress like the PEOPLE of whatever country and culture they were assigned. Not dress as a piece of energy infrastructure of the land.
That thing is so damn bulky and awkward. How many kids and teachers are going to be knocked the eff out when Jackson turns his body or moves in any direction. And it won’t be Jackson’s fault bc he has nearly zero visibility while wearing that thing.
I hope the school posts photos and videos of the event.
He probably could have helped in some way with the tulips. Your child owns the project when he/she can point to what they did and say, “ I did that” with pride. It’s a parent’s job to instill that pride !Skimmed through this one because it’s nearly 30 minutes and the only thing they do I’m the video is make the costume.
For those that don’t want to watch but are curious how the costume turned out:

Please note that they make this while Jackson is at school. So Buddy did not get to help make his costume. It’s for an event at school and Jenn says it will be the show stopper.
I’ve had this song in my head all afternoon since I saw the thumbnail photo. It’s become an ear wormThe whole windmill voog brought this old song to mind …. They can use it for a mouse house at fort Pampers afterwards
This is Tim’s “ diaper dash “ substitute win in his competitive brainI skimmed thru too, because, seriously 30 minutes of making this costume. And it looks like it spanned over at least 3 days based on Tim's wardrobe changes. I cannot imagine how long they worked on this. And by they, I mean Tim, even though she's taking credit for working on it too.
And yet, looking out at the back yard, the cushions are still all piled up, so obviously he hasn't finished conditioning the patio furniture. How many weeks has it been now? I guess the patio furniture isn't going to be the star of the show at the pre-school. And that all this is, an opportunity to "win" and show off.
Assholes.
He will be a card board Spider-ManI know they are all about the homemade costumes right now but what happens when Buddy is a little older and decides he wants to be Spider-Man or Batman like his classmates. Are they going to give in and buy the costume at that point or insist he has to be something else that they can make?
He won’t be able to dance in that cumbersome costumeI must admit the windmill looks great. However, not including J$ when they made it is so sad. Dying the flowers with food coloring would have been a great project for J$. He could have had so much fun helping build it.
I saw videos and pictures from the school event last year. Absolutely no one is dressed as an inanimate object. Everyone is wearing traditional clothing from each country. They do a dance outside and walk in a little parade for the parents. I’m picturing J$ walking in 80+ degree weather wearing an uncomfortable foam board costume. It seems like he has some sensory issues and I hope he doesn’t get upset from wearing it.
They’d do something like this just to be extra:He will be a card board Spider-Man
I can't figure out where that is and I'm usually pretty good at stuff like that.Stan sighting. From the Facebook page. As of right now, the stan did not say where they met Tim tho.

Same! I usually can spot location, but I can’t figure that one out!I can't figure out where that is and I'm usually pretty good at stuff like that.
Also, it's time to retire that shirt Tim, you're wearing it entirely too much.
I'm guessing Disney because of his shirt and it's like my mind defaults to some nook somewhere in Disney Springs but the shutters are throwing me off. It doesn't look familiar to me either. I think that one light fixture style may offer a clue?I can't figure out where that is and I'm usually pretty good at stuff like that.
