Red Ribbon Week

October 25, 2018

This week is Red Ribbon week at Nimitz and the students are allowed to dress up to fight against drugs.  I am pretty sure none of the kids have any idea why they get to dress up as a character one day (be a character, not an addict) and  as a twin the next (friends don't let friends do drugs), but Aub is all about dressing up.  I kind of love it because that was so me and our other kiddos have shown little interest over the years.  

On twin day she and her group all went as M&Ms, and it was great because she already had an M&M shirt.  I was really confused on character day though because she was insisting on going as Jesse from Toy Story.  I was like "what? why?"  It just seemed so complicated and random but she would not drop it.  She and Marissa were both going and Jesse.  Aubrey wanted to call around to friends and borrow cowboy boots and a hat.  We were on our way home from dance in Midland and I declined.  I explained that if this was her Halloween costume I would happily go out of my way to make it work but for a random dress up day at school....not happening.  I mentioned other character ideas we had on hand like Minnie Mouse complete with cute socks, ears and a t-shirt.  She would have none of it.  

Well, Tuesday night she took matters into her own hands and created a really cute Jesse outfit.  She watched a YouTube video and asked to borrow one of Tanner's Sunday shirts and to use fabric we had on hand.  I was impressed.  She looked adorable leaving for school on Wednesday.  When I picked her up from school her insistence that she had to be Jesse became even a little more clear.  She had this little grin on her face when she got in the car and she mentioned that she went as Jesse and Ashton (her "boyfriend") went as Woody.  There you have it.  Turkey girl.

Grandpa took her to lunch on Wednesday.  They had a great date.

Doesn't she look adorable?!

And I am not really sure what to even say about this....crazy girl.
