Blue II

Who can't love this ugly mug?  I surprised the boys with Blue II as their mystery reader.  The mystery reader gives hints to their identity and then the big reveal is on Friday when they show up.  Here were the hints.  1.  Scared of thunderstorms.  2.  Named after a lawyer from the 1800's (Ovid Butler)  3. Favorite color is Blue  4.  Has made numerous TV appearances  5.  Works at a school but is not a teacher.

The kids were all surprised to see the 'real live mascot' from Butler.  There were also a group of High School kids there to read to the younger kids that got all excited when they saw him.  We had kids coming out of the classrooms to see what was snorting down the hall and then you would have the teacher come out and tell them to get back into the room.  I am so happy that I can do things like this for the boys, hopefully they will always remember when Butler Blue II came to visit their school.
