 the daughter has asked for blue hair streaks last year, kat was unsure about that.  but her final grades were good, real good.  she is in advanced classes and she's is now skipped a whole grade in math, if she wanted blue hair we couldn't think of any real reason to deny her such a wish. 

bleaching was the first step.

the splat blue hair dye kit was on the counter for a week before we actually used it.  #2 son decided he wanted blue hair as well.  he talked about it every day "I want blue hair, can I have blue hair?, oooh I want blue hair"  sure, blue hair.

he was so good and sat perfectly still while we applied the bleach and color, he REALLY wanted the blue hair.

BLUE

hers turned out a slightly turquoise shade of blue, she really like that better than the color on the box.  it is slightly mermaid-ish.  same color as the azul tequila happy hour margarita (which was much too sweet)

the boys were happy to be back at school.

he went straight to the books found in his new classroom. 

first day was a success. 

yelp elite party at finn and porter:

we found a really nice sushi and steak restaurant in the hilton, finn and porter.  we went for a yelp elite party and we enjoyed some really good food, cocktails and company.

I didn't take many pictures of the food, I was too busy eating it.  the pork belly (above left) was really good.  also the beef carpaccio with truffle was really good and the tenderloin and the ...  it was a lot of food and all good.
