Oh Monday

Whose idea was it to have the first day of Spirit week involve pajamas???
Are we the only ones that have long sleeve sets? Like it's still hot here but DS has his heart set on the Cavs PJs he has that are basically flannel. I explained over & over that it's gonna be hot & he won't budge so our compromise is wearing a tee underneath so in case he gets hot he can just take the top off (that he's wearing open already.)
Ugh the struggle is real. I heard him saying he already told his 'friends' he was wearing them so of course he had to show up in them.

DD would be the same way. I'm not a fan of Spirit week in general, though. There's always at least one theme that we don't have the clothes/accessories for so I have to shop the evening before.

DD keeps every scrap of paper and cheap trinket imaginable. I went through with a bag today and tossed it all. There are several things I'd like to sell/donate, but that'll be another day. She'll be 8 on her next birthday and I've noticed that she hasn't touched many things in her room.

I am thankful we don’t have things like spirit week. There are two or so dress up days scattered throughout the year and I think one pajama day.

DD went to her new after-school place today and said she liked it better than the previous place so yay!

yea it's annoying. He didn't really care about these things before but for some reason he really wanted those darn PJs on. LOL I told him to make sure he drinks a lot of water. Like we were just closed due to the heat. I can't imagine it being very comfortable to be in long pants & shirt today but that's the choice he made. He's old enough for that. 
Luckily, the rest of the week is simple things. It's funny though at this school they emphasize that your "participation is voluntary."

DD is on her first field trip with her new school. She was beyond excited this morning, I'm excited to pick her up later to hear about it.

NamasteBirches I don't remember spirit week being a thing until high school because of football. Now the elementary kids participate.

I never even heard of it until DS started school or maybe online when he was little.
I went to school in the city, we didn't do those type of things. Lol

I was anti-participation. My high school was one big popularity contest in a small town and it sucked.
