Crazy Hair/Mismatch Day

Friday was fun for the girls. Apparently is was Crazy Hair/Mismatched Clothes Day. I never heard anything about this on any calenders or flier's from school, but luckily Sarah remembered about 2 minutes before the bus would be arriving. I've never seen her change her clothes so fast. We had no time to change her hairdo, but I decided that putting a billion bows in her hair would make her hair nutty enough to be considered "crazy". She had so much fun and told me all about all the other funny hairdos and clothes people wore. Thank goodness she remembered. She hates missing out.

Before school, as Sarah explained what the day was, I thought to myself that this was definitely Natalie's cup of tea. Every day is mismatch day for her! We got her ready later in the day and had to kick up the mismatching a notch to make it fun for Natalie. I let her wear a Hawaiian looking skirt the girls play dress up in all the time. It paired up quite nicely with her striped tights and patterned shirt. Someone commented that Natalie's bows in her three pony-tails was very Punky Brewster-ish and very fitting for Miss Natalie. (o: Both girls looked pretty cute, but Angela didn't want to miss out either. I forgot to get her picture, but she wore a little playdress with tights that definitely didn't match. In the afternoon, I took all the girls to the doctor for Angela's check up. As I sat there in the busy waiting room, I realized that my girls must look ridiculous to people who weren't aware that it was Crazy Hair/Mismatch Day. (o: I thought to myself that it should be a national holiday - why should we have all the fun?
I have to laugh and include this picture. This is a look I get a lot from Sarah lately. The rolling of the eyes. She is mad at me for some reason in this picture, I don't remember why. It is very hard to remember because it's always something different. I am also told that I "don't understand" a lot. Eight year olds aren't that close to being teenagers are they? (o: I love my Sarah even though sometimes I'm not so sure she loves me!
