Thunder
Well, Jason has made it through his first full week of 2nd grade and he’s doing great so far - woo hoo! He even came home yesterday and said how much he loved his new school - whew!
I have to giggle though . . . we’ve been talking about getting him some “spirit wear” - you know, a t-shirt or something that has his school’s logo and mascot on it. The school mascot is the Thunder - which made me think, can that really even be considered a mascot? How do you dress as “thunder” - a cougar, a tiger, a cheetah, a bear . . . all excellent mascots with actual costumes. But Thunder? I guess it’s appropriate given that we have a thunderstorm pretty much every afternoon here in the summer.
Anyway, back to the spirit wear. We’re at the meet the teacher night last week and he and I are walking down the hallway when we see a sign for the spirit wear . . . only they’re calling it Thunderwear - “Buy Your Thunderwear Here!” Jason almost loses it rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.
Really? I mean, could they have catered more to the young boys at school in calling their spirit wear Thunderwear? Apparently it’s especially funny to a boy who likes to read Captain Underpants books 
EDITED: Adding a photo of the Thunder logo . . . really, lightning with the word thunder written on the cloud . . . very profound!

But can’t you just see the girls walking around in those shorts with the words written across the backside . . . Princess, Volleyball, Thunder

Please post a picture of what the Thunderwear looks like! I could see if it were lightening… but what does Thunder look like? How does one dress up as Thunder for the football games?? Please give us some pictures.
Oh boy, my boys would be talking about thunderwear for months!
I am so glad he is enjoying school and it is going well! Yeah!!
I can’t wait to see this Thunderwear….glad he enjoys that, too!
Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing! My thoughts exactly on the words across the girls back sides! It seems that they weren’t sure what Thunder is either since they needed the cloud and the lightning bolt. I actually teach a story that thunder and lightening are vocab words….thunder is a rumbling, rolling noise…not sure how you make that as a picture anyway. I LOVE the purple though! My favorite color.
