Mousey

One crazy evening, I tucked Lexi in bed. I was really looking forward to getting the kids in bed, so that I could just relax!!! It had been a very long day, and all I wanted to do was to unwind.

I tucked the kids in bed, finished cleaning the dishes, got the last load of laundry out of the dryer, made sure and put all of Lexi's things in her backpack for tomorrow, and still looking forward to sitting down!! So,.... 45 minutes later,... right when I was about to sit down,... Lexi came flying in the living room. "Momma, momma...". Well,.... she informed me that she was supposed to dress up as a book character from a book that they had been reading.... TOMORROW!! WHAT?!?!? I think I remember something about that. A note was sent home a week ago,... I think.... was it really tomorrow?

So,... we talked about this mouse book that they had been reading, and which mouse she wanted to be. Well,... she wears a yellow dress with a sun on it. Oh, and pigtails.

So,... at 10pm, I painted a sun on a yellow tank top. I was very skeptical, but glitter paint is very forgiving!! It turned out very cute.

The teacher painted their faces with eyeliner at school. And,... for some reason, Lexi also wanted her to write her name on her forehead! Was her outfit that convincing, that she needed to remind people who she was?
