colors

It's red ribbon week at school and each day the girls have something fun to wear. Today is color day: kindergarteners wear red and 1st graders wear orange. Gwyneth could not possibly be wearing more red. Red bow, red dress, red tights, red boots....this girl is taking sprit week very seriously.

 

 

They each had to write down what their super hero characteristic is and what they do to help people with that power. I would imagine most kids are writing about being kind, helpful, loving, etc. Mine wrote that she lives to play tricks on people. Annabelle loves to hide and jump out and scare people or play practical jokes. She says she does it because she likes to make people laugh and that is how she is kind. Um....ok?

 

Yes, this is Annabelle and me "Kelly" (not mom?) laughing. Our gifts to humanity!

Gwyneth didn't let me take a picture of her paper, but she said her gift is "telling jokes and making people laugh". Imagine our surprise when she got home and said she won the prize for kindergarten for best super power. Yes, it's very important to have a good sense of humor. Yes, it's a great skill to make people laugh. Yes, she just received a prize for being class clown. Oh crap!

While Gwyneth was at dancing school tonight, Annabelle and I hit the grocery store and I desperately needed a coffee. Clearly this girl needs some more sugar in her life too...
