Red Ribbon Week

Back in October, Brenna's school had Red Ribbon Week. They had a theme for each day to dress up. She was super excited, and in the beginning, I was excited too. That was before I embarked on the "Scarecrow" outfit. It was a test of my patience for sure! My Mama was always great about making sure that I was dressed up for any special occasion, and I was determined to give Brenna that same opportunity. But the first day was rough, to say the least. the scarecrow was harder than I imagined. But after some trial and error, a lot of super glue, and some not so pretty hand stitching, I made it work! :)

Monday: Scare Drugs Away (Scarecrow Day)

I think it turned out pretty darn cute!

Tuesday:Have a Bright Future-Say No To Drugs (Neon Day)

Macie insisted on joining in on the picture taking. :)

And just in case you aren't sure if that shirt was NEON or not.....Do you spot her in this picture?? ha!

Wednesday: Plan For Your Future-Make Good Choices (College Shirt Day)

Since Brenna didn't own any Tarleton stuff, we used some strategically placed ribbon and hair ties to make one of my shirts work!

....because Macie didn't want to be left out of the action.

Thursday: Be a Hero- Don't Do Drugs (Super Hero Day)

The Amazing Alice Birkhimer made her cape! And we added to it by wearing her shirt that says "I wear pink for my HERO, my Grandma!" :)

Friday: Join the Fight Against Drugs (Camo Day)

It was a fun week! Even though the first day was a little hectic trying to get the scarecrow all fixed up, we enjoyed each and every day!

Circus-Take 2!

Since Pops didn't ride his carvette (or "little yellow barbie car" as Brenna calls it) in the family night performance, I decided to take the girls back that Sunday to see him. Josh was at work, so I talked MeMawMom and Graddy into going with us. It was so much fun! The girls enjoyed it just as much the second time as they did the first time. They really enjoyed getting to go down on the circus floor and seeing Pops and sitting in his car.

Macie wasn't AS sure about it as Brenna, but she didn't want to miss out

Pops and his fan club! The elephants were starting to walk by us, and Macie was keeping a CLOSE eye on them to make sure they didn't get TOO close.

The show was just as good the second time around! I absolutely LOVE the Shrine Circus. And I think the girls enjoyed getting to share the experience with MeMawMom and Graddy. There was lots of popcorn and cotton candy consumed that afternoon by two happy little girls.

These girls sure do love their MeMawMom

I know that most people don't get to go to the circus even once, and we were lucky enough to get to go twice in ONE WEEK. We are blessed.
And on the long hike back to the car, little Shortcake legs don't move as fast as big ones, so they sometimes get a lift.
