Dressing Up

The kids, mostly D-D and E, are still at the age when they dress up for fun things at school. D-D, being in Kindergarten, gets the most "dress-up days"

D-D had "Cowboy Days" back in October. Funny story about that. Tuesday night, we got a letter coming home saying that she had to dress up for the next day (Wednesday). I frantically began looking around for cowboy garb, traveling to a friends house a few miles away to borrow a hat and a shirt. I sent D-D to school all decked out...only to find out that she accidentally got the note that was supposed to be sent home Thursday night! She was the only one dressed up. Suffice it to say, she was a bit embarrassed that morning, but fortunately, she had a change of clothes in her backpack. On Friday, though, she was ready!!!! She enjoyed the day with a hayride and being pampered by her "Big Buddy" (a 6th grader who hangs out with D-D several times a month)!!

The next dress-up day both E and D-D got to participate. THANKSGIVING at school!! They each had to dress as pilgrims. We borrowed a dress for D-D and she looked sooooo adorable!Unfortunately, she was upset about the shoes she had to wear. This is her looking pitiful as she laments wearing her shoes.

A picture is worth a 1000 words.Here are my words for this picture:
"I have to do WHAT with that turkey?!!?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This child in D-D's class wore his hat backwards. Cracked me up!

D-D, the backwards-hat boy, and D-D's big buddy.

E wore tapered pants and a white shirt. He got his Pilgrim collar and hat once he got to school.

Does the size of the hat show

how pious a pilgrim is?Or is he just a Texas Pilgrim?
