Friday, my third grader is having a potato olympics with the other third graders. Due to Kaleb's chicken pox, I can no longer go and take pictures of the events. Zach will have to fill me in on all the details when he gets home. He brought home a note the other day that said we needed to decorate a potato to resemble our child's favorite olympian. Zach chose Shawn White aka "The Flying Tomato". Why was I not surprised? I told him after making his valentines box, I was a little tired of crafts and that he needed to have his dad help him. I couldn't find my hot glue gun, so I got out the trusty glue dots. I didn't really think they would stick to a potato. He got out my yarn and made some orange hair for his potato, and drew some eyes and a cheesy grin on some paper and cut them out. Here are the results:
Can't you just see the resemblence? Eh, eh? It's uncanny. I told him he needed more hair, but he said, "This is how much I want to do!" So there it is. The potato olympics coming Friday, February 26, 2010 to a humble elementary school somewhere in the United States of America. God bless the USA!
Do us proud Potato Shawn. Do us proud.

I LOVE IT!! You guys have all the fun! Snail olympics and now potato olympics! Let me know how it goes. :) My kids think Shawn White is awesome too. The resemblence is amazing! :) I love it! You might want to get that potato some snowpants (a running gag that is getting old?) I can't wait to show my kids Zach's potato. Tell him he is awesome. :)
It does look pretty much exactly like Shaun White. Funny. :)
Read my blog about your blog and the comments. Okay that sounded weird.
Love it! What a creative little guy and artistic, too! Hope he does well. Nice to catch up with you every once in a while!
