Good question!

This morning, 6:35am, our dinning room:

SJC: Is our blog only about our kid, or can we write other stuff?
Matt: We can put whatever you want on it.
SJC: Good. Take a picture of me in my 80's outfit.

And thus:

Backstory: Sarah's school is having some sort of spirit week, and today was "dress like it's the 80's day." SJC always goes all out for these sorts of things.

It did launch us into an interesting discussion. SJC tried to claim that this is what our moms must have looked like when they were pregnant with our younger siblings. My contention was that the look SJC had achieved may have been popular in the early 80's, but not among married women in their late 20's/early 30's who have children. I was thinking this is closer to "the last days of disco in NYC" or "Shaker high school '82" than "suburban upstate mom." But who knows. I guess you could have seen this kind of look in the church aerobics classes.

  1. I don't know about Sally, but I can assure you that I never looked this cool in the 80s. If I remember correctly I had a hideous maroon sweat suit that I wore to the church aerobics class. Sarah, you look fantastic!!!!!

  2. Wouldn't it have been "jazzercise" back then?

  3. Will there be a 90s day, and if so, will you pretty please wear your red plaid body suit:)? Love, C
