Last week Mar participated in her school's Spirit Days. I only got pictures a few of the days, but I love how Mar loves to participate. She is such a fun girl!
Since the week prior to Spring Break was only 4 days long, Spirit Days started the Friday before (because everyone knows you need 5 good solid days to dress up).
That was the day of the Final Four, so in addition to the pre-determined Hawaii Day, they decided to throw Legend Day on top of it. I think Mar pulled it off.
(We learned that the clear gel glue does not work nearly as well as good ol' white Elmer's Glue-All for glittering faces.)
Monday was College Day. I didn't get a picture, but Mar was decked out in her BYU sweatpants/sweatshirt/hat with a glitter Y on her face. She wanted to carry her BYU cougar and her BYU pom, but decided it might be too much in addition to her 30+ lb. backpack. (I have serious issues with how heavy her backpack is - they don't put lockers in middle schools in our district and I think it's ridiculous that her teachers make her carry around 4 composition books - do you know how heavy those are? - in addition to her cram-packed folders for each class, a reading book - hers are always big ginormous ones, and whatever else she needs for the day. Hardly a few inches for her lunch, which I'm positive is always a smashed mess by the time she eats it. And when she asks you to help her put it on because it's so heavy, and has bend over to balance, there's good reason to have issues with it.)
Tuesday was Bling Day.
Wednesday was Super Hero Day. Mar would have liked to be totally dressed up as Super Girl, Wonder Woman, or any other numerous "heroes," but because we have limited resources and time (and no Super Hero get-ups in our Halloween box), she decided to go as her dad. Again, no picture, but she wore one of his shirts, his tie, and her glasses. She wasn't the only one dressed up as her dad, which I think is totally awesome! On the way to school, she told me she had practiced saying some of our favorite Billisms. Things like, "I'd like to be a bird (instead of fly) on the wall in that room!" "We are nip-and-tuck with them" (meaning neck-and-neck), and "You'll have to beg my forgiveness..." (instead of "I'll have to beg your forgiveness"). They are a bit of a family inside joke, lovingly laughed about amongst ourselves, because we think Bill is so great. And he makes us smile. Love that guy.
Thursday was Crazy Hair Day.
This turned out a little differently than we anticipated, but decided that it was, indeed, crazy enough.
I think she's pretty much one of the most spirited girls at her school. I love that.
