That is me inside that big red dog. This is what I did today. The Pre-K, Kindergarten, and first grade classes at E and K's school took pictures with Clifford. But someone had to be Clifford. The PTSO was asked to help and I am PTSO Secretary. Three of us showed up. The VP was Clifford first but then she had to leave. The President was much better at herding kids, so I actually volunteered to be the dog.I have never done anything like this in my life and never would have expected to! But other than being really hot inside that head, it was actually kind of fun! At the end I was even playing Simon Says along with them as they were lining up to take a class picture. The kids thought it was really funny.
Little kids are so funny and cute. It was nice to make them happy. And get hugged by them. The one class who wanted to tackle Clifford was interesting too--but they didn't manage to take me down!!
We took a break for lunch and I had lunch with K. There was one kid I wanted to hug on my way out of the cafeteria. She asked me who I was and if I was a college kid there to help! What a wonderful wonderful child....
Well now I am going to sneak in about a 20 minute nap before the kids get home. I got up at 5:30 so I could have my bible reading time today and I am exhausted!
Hope you enjoyed laughing at the redhead who was a big red dog today. Luke thought it was hilarious!

LOL it is hillarious! When i first saw the picture, I was thinking, awww Stef must have took K to see the big red dog, but however I never thought it might be you in the suit! :) Way to go!...talk about getting out of your comfort zone. I'm glad u didn't have to stand out in the blazing sun or the big red dog would have been a hot dog...might have had to go to the hospital. LOL See, you must not look as old as you think you do, that little girl thought u were a college kid. hee hee Was that with or without the suit? :) Way to go Stef...maybe next you can be the mascot for your kids' school! :) Just think of all those calories you burned in that suit. Hey maybe you should wear the big red dog outfit next time u get on the treadmill!
