For the past few years, the 100th day of school has been getting more and more popular. Each year the elementary school has the kids do something different. A couple of years ago, the kids were asked to make something using 100 items... Nathan made a Texas flag using 100 Lego pieces, and Katie made a VOE sign using 100 orange and white pom-poms. This year, the second graders have been asked to dress-up like a 100 yr. old! Can you say FUN!?!
Nathan was really excited about this one! Equipped with a cane, reading spectacles, shirt tucked in with a belt, socks up to his knees, and baby powder hair sprayed into his hair to make it look 'grey', I sent Nathan to school... and posted this very picture on Facebook!
Within an hour, I got a couple comments from other VOE moms. Apparently the 100th day of school was not until NEXT week!! All I could think about was how much Nathan was going to hate me and be SO mad at me for getting my days mixed up! I even emailed his teacher begging her to please tell Nathan I was SO sorry! Then I texted my mom to tell her what a bad mom I was, only to get a response telling me that her entire office was laughing at me! Geez!
Apparently I wasn't the only mom that got her days mixed-up... there was one other child that dressed-up too! BUT, I was SO relieved when Nathan told me he wasn't mad at me at all... he said he had fun with it! Ahhhh, instant stress-relief! (Of course, I found out the other kid that also dressed-up wasn't so lenient on his mommy! Ooops!)
What lesson did I learn from this mix-up????
That I need a vacation! Hehehe!
Until next time...
