The costume story

We leave for school at 8:45am. Last Thursday at 8:15am, Maddy says, "Mom, when is Thursday?" I answer that today is Thursday. She says, "Today we are supposed to wear costumes to summer camp. I can wear whatever I want." I tell her it is hard to throw together a costume at the last minute (especially when I was not even ready for the day yet!) Panic mode sets in and we run upstairs to figure out what to wear. She reminds me of the ladybug costumes...

That costume did not thrill Maddy though... She reminds me of the Dorothy costume... I remind her it rained and will rain all day. The Dorothy costume will get ruined. So... ...I did what any mom who will be late for work if we don't get a move on and hand her gym shorts, a t-shirt, and we put her hair in a pony. She grabs her soccer ball and off we go!

When we get to summer camp we find out the children were supposed to wear a MEDIEVAL costume! Well, she was the only soccer player among a camp full of knights, ladies, and jesters! Oh, well!
