Career Day

Last week was Career Day at the girls' school. I knew Macie had to dress up, so we had been discussing her costume. She really didn't have an idea. She mentioned teacher- but after my mild heart attack, she changed her mind. Eventually she told me she wanted to be a Mommy when she grew up. Well- duh! So I knew we could pull that off.
But the night before- Brenna came home telling me she had to dress up too. Oh goody. So I asked what she wanted to be, really hoping for something simple. I knew better. She proudly proclaimed "I want to work for NASA when I grow up!" Yes- I knew this fact. But I was really hoping that we could come up with a career that was MUCH easier to throw together! Nope. Nothing else was acceptable to her other than a scientist at NASA. SOOOOO- I started doing some thinking on how I was gonna pull this off. Then I remembered the astronaut shirt that Taron bought for her when we were shopping over spring break! Perfect! I printed a NASA scientist name tag to go with it (so that hopefully people would be able to tell what she wanted to be), and she dug out her scientist experiment glasses, and VOILA- we had ourselves a NASA employee!!
Macie picked out matching dresses for herself and her baby, and then came out of her room that morning and said "I don't want to be a Mommy- I want to be a babysitter! I'm Mrs. Nikki and this is baby Emma!"
So there ya have it folks! My NASA scientist and my babysitter! (At least one of my children will be able to support me in my old age. I guess the other one can babysit me.....)
