Yee-haw.

As mothers, we have our ups and downs.... days when we feel like we should wear those #1 MOM t-shirts and days when we should wave a white flag and hide in a deep dark closet. This morning, I proudly slipped into my #1 MOM shirt. Belle's kindergarten class spent the earlier part of this week making stick horses. They've been studying 'the farm', and today they planned a stick horse rodeo. No Shiloh dress today. Instead, they were to dress as cowboys/cowgirls. Belle was so excited. And me, being mom-of-the-year, decided to make sure she was the most adorable little cowgirl in kindergarten. We did the clothes, the hair, the hat. Mom did good. She was so precious. Take a look for yourself...




Actually, the one and only problem was that once Matt got her to school, she seemed to be the ONLY cowperson there. Yes, the stick horse rodeo/dress up day isn't until Friday. If you need me, I'll be in the closet with my flag.

That is so funny!! You are still mom of the year but just a little confused on the days. I bet she had fun being the only one dressed up though.

Oh my gosh! This was always my biggest nightmare on dress up days. I am sure Belle handled it better than I would have!

Ang, that is the funniest thing ever and I'm laughing so hard!! Something you will never forget as a Mom. Look at the bright side, she gets to be out of dress code two days this week instead of only one. Thanks for the laugh.

Hey there! Remember me? I stumbled across your blog and thought I'd say Hey! Looks like you guys are doing pretty good. Tell Matt I said Hello.

I went to high school with both Robyn and Ryan AND I used to work with Robyn when she taught at Northside High School. You're kids are cute, too. Last time I saw you guys, you were pregnant with the 2nd one. It's been a while!

Thanks for the laugh! I'm impressed that you blogged about it. I would have just hidden away for a couple of months. :-) Hey, she was the cutest (and the only) cow girl there.
