Yesterday the Kindergartener’s class celebrated their 100th day of school with lots of festivity. In keeping with the theme, their special assignment was to dress as if they were 100 years old. Let me tell you, it’s not easy to make a 5-year old look like she’s elderly.
But, we tried.
When I pulled out a pair of panty hose, the Kindergartener exclaimed: “Ewww, what are these? They feel so weird.” And, I feel like that pretty much sums up the feelings of every woman ever concerning hosiery.
Alas, she did wear them. Along with baby powder in her hair, a hair net, a shawl, her Mary Janes, and a pair of spectacles.
On a side note… the glasses are faux glasses with clear lenses, but when I first gave them to her to try on, she sighed and said, “Oh, I can see sooo much better with these!”
Of course she can. She wore them all evening long and slept with them on her nightstand so she would remember to put them on first thing in the morning… just in case she couldn’t see well enough to get out of bed safely. {Sadly, I have to do the same thing because I really can’t see past my face without contacts}.
Apparently the librarian look is very en vogue in kindergarten these days.
While the Kindergartener was off at school eating 100 cupcakes and doing 100 crafts, the Baby decided to have some crafting fun of her own.
I stepped into the kitchen to fix my coffee and came back a minute later to find her enjoying a little taste of black magic marker.
I was a bit concerned when I noticed she had eaten the entire tip, but it does say “non-toxic” in bold letters on the side of the marker. I hope that’s true.
I think she could tell by my reaction that this might be a good time to voluntarily put herself in time-out.
Honestly, she doesn’t know what time-out is quite yet. But, she does know she’s a mess… and a ham.
That's the cutest old lady I've ever seen!
