I think I'm like, the best Mom EVER!... Except yesterday...

Okay, so funny story... The fourth graders at Ré's school are all learning about the pioneer days. It's been a really great curriculum for the kids. Their teacher gets really involved... with projects and songs. Well, RéAnna and her 4th grade class are supposed to be going to this awesome 1 room school house in Greene county. All of the children are given the task of really playing the parts; dressing like 'Little House', packing lunch in a metal box or a basket, no disposable things, no bananas- only food they would have eaten. Then, there's actually a teacher that teaches them for the day and they get to play games outside the same fashion as were played in the early 1900's. So, exciting, yeah?

Well, last week (to refresh my memory) I asked RéAnna which day this was going to take place on... She told me 2 different dates and one was on a Sunday, so she wasn't 100% sure, but she finally said it was Wednesday. Well, I told her to make sure and let me know- b/c I really wanted to go all out: salt pork, corn bread, home made apple butter.... blah blah. Well, yesterday I go to take her to school, she gets there early b/c of the time I have to drop Talon off at his school, so as I pull up to the school I notice a couple of children getting out of their cars in 'Laura Ingalls' wear! OMG! I looked at Ré and screamed, "OMG Ré! I thought it was Wednesday!" Ré's screaming, "I thought it was! What do we do?!" Okay, so I call the school to see when the busses would be leaving. I race home! Ré rushes upstairs to put on her planned outfit. I race to make her a lunch meat sandwich, granola, apple, water in a glass jar- lunch in a basket with cloth napkins! YIKES! Okay, we race to get out of the house, she looks soooooo beautiful (I even flat ironed her hair). We race to school and get there with 7 minutes to spare, PHEW!~

All day long I couldn't wait to see how her day went. I was soooo excited for her, I really wanted to go to this thing! So when I went to pick up Ré from school, I noticed she kinda had a look on her face.... Hhhmmmm. Didn't seem right. I knew something was wrong. So, she got in the car. I said, "What' wrong?'' Ré then says: "MOM! (sigh) All of the classes (all 3) are going seperately to the school. It was Ms. Paulsen's class' turn today, not Mrs. T's!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! OMG! I had such a bizarre feeling. Like I felt soooooo bad for her b/c of her having to wear her costume all day, but at the same time it was the funniest thing that she had to wear her costume all day! Of course, she attempted to blame it on me and I tried to explain that that's where misscommunication gets you....

So, this is how my little one went to school yesterday, as the rest of the class was normal...

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HHEEE! HHEEE! HHEEE! HA! HA! GASP! SIGH!
