Showing our Holy Spirit!

A few weeks ago was homecoming at Abigail and Cooper's school, and they followed the usual routine of spirit week with each day having a theme. The first day was completely forgotten by me, and Abigail was sorely disappointed in my memory lapse when she showed up with her usual chapel uniform on Monday morning and everyone else was dressed for Bling-Bling Day. Oh, well. She and Cooper looked a lot less silly than those other rascals. But, I came through the rest of the week.

Tuesday was Tacky Day when everyone dressed in mis-matched clothes. Fortunately, I checked out the week's agenda in the school newsletter instead of following Abigail's interpretation that she thought it was Khaki Day, which sounds similar to Tacky Day, but doesn't pan out to the same type of outfit.

Wednesday was Cartoon & Superhero Day. Thanks to our plentiful collection of dress-up clothes, Abigail and Cooper jaunted off to school as Dora the Explorer and her cousin, Diego. I couldn't get Abigail to wear the wig with her costume, but the two of them were pretty cute.

Thursday was color day, with each grade level assigned a color and the kindergarten class was assigned red. Abigail opted out of the boring red t-shirt that we saw on most of the kids and just sported her cutest red outfit.

My favorite day of the week was Friday, which was Spirit Day. We're new to this school and don't have any school t-shirts yet, so the kids opted to show their best Longhorn spirit. But, it was my favorite day because of another interpretation that went awry. When I told Abigail it was Spirit Day, she replied that she should wear a shirt with a cross or Bible on it because she didn't have anything with the Holy Spirit on it. Oh, my goodness, that gave me the biggest laugh I've had in a long time! I had to explain to her that spirit can refer to many ideas and not just the Holy Spirit.
