It was someone’s brilliant idea to have a school spirit day this week.  Don’t they know it’s teacher appreciation week, final spring games, graduations, recitals, mother’s day,  banquets, and birthdays (and I’m sure I’m forgetting something else!?)  Don’t they know that every mom is walking around a total zombie right now?  I’ve had the same outfit on for 2 days AND walked into the school twice wearing it!  I’m sure it has chocolate stains on it somewhere.  So embarrassing!

Thankfully, I have the most resourceful and creative kids!  Reece is an elected student council representative for the 3rd grade at Manchester Park Elementary, so you better believe she is going to be participating in a spirit day!  After her final STUCO meeting on Monday, she went right to work on her idea for her “future career” outfit.  She stole all my tape, took computer paper out of the printer, and did some late night crafting in her room.  This happens often.  Someone please get this girl her own bucket of tape so she will stop taking mine!!

Waking up to this creation on Reece’s bedroom floor puts the biggest smile on my face.  She has a creative mind and apparently she also has aspirations to be a server at SPIN! Pizza!?  I love it.  Maybe she’ll own the chain someday?  Aim high, Reecie Cups!

I did try to help her out a bit and called SPIN! Pizza yesterday to see if they sold shirts.  They don’t, but they kindly offered me some stickers and a pizza box.  The manager even said he would order me a shirt but there’s no time for that, so the next best thing is always the dollar section at Target.  I picked up a notepad that was shaped like a slice of pizza and by the time I got home from a soccer game and 3 baseball games last night, she had created this masterpiece!!

We had to reinforce this baby with A LOT of packing tape – it’s a little ‘crunchy’ when she bends to sit down, but how cute is she!?  I think they should hire her to be their marketing manager.  She would rock it!

And then the choice was easy for Drew and A LOT less work – a basketball player, of course!
Happy last spirit day for the 2018-2019 school year!!
