The struggle is real!

It all started with theme days for school this week. It's Read Across America, so today we had to dress with numbers on our clothes. Fortunately, my daughter has a dress she loves with a number 1 on it. Add some beach waves and tights, boom. We are done.

And because we are in the midwest, we had to have a discussion about the coat: heavy ski coat? Wool coat? We settled on the lightweight coat. And now shoes:ballet flats? Tennis shoes? Snow boots? There's barely any snow on the ground, but yes. Snow boots won because this is Illinois afterall. Who knows.

All this for a dress up day. We do it because she loves it. And I am okay with that. I swear, Mother Nature was eavesdropping because once we had on a lightweight coat, snow boots and potential for a mild week, it starts to snow. Heavily. I mean seriously!?! What are the odds???

Tomorrow is dress like an old person day and I cannot wait to see what painful irony this outfit will dredge up! So, to anyone who looked out their window and saw snow, we apologize. The snow boots jinxed us all!
