Top of the Mornin' .....or Over the Top?

Brynn came home last week and told me that there was going to be a contest in her classroom to see who could wear the most green on St. Patrick's Day....and that she was going to win! I realized that this little girl was on a mission and I was going to help her achieve it. We rounded up everything around the house that we could possibly find, and picked up a couple random $1.00 items from Wal-Mart. Here's how it all rounded out, I lost track of just how much GREEN she was actually wearing.....a ring, necklace, hat, headband, 2 barettes, 5 elastics, 5 hair bows, handkerchief, leggings, shorts, shirt, button, 6 bracelets, 10 fingernails, 10 toenails, 2 eyelids, earings, socks, shoes, purse, glasses (off during the picture?)....I think that's it...whew! I volunteered in her classroom today and most of the kids had a little green, maybe a shirt, or possibly a shirt and pants, but nothing like Brynn. I realized we were a little obsessive about the whole green thing, but hey, you're only a kid once, right?
It's a tradition that I always ask her the best and worst parts of her day and usually she says, "It was all good." , but today I didn't even have to ask. She came running to me with a huge grin and said..."Well, do you have a question for me?" I replied, "What was the best part of your day Brynn?" She matter of factly said, "I won." She then she pulled out her Hershey bar and told me how she planned to share it with the family after dinner. She said, "Dad is going to LOVE this!" She rationed out tiny pieces for the kids and then gave dad about 3/4 of the bar. He then shared with the rest again.

Brynn, I hope you'll always be confident enough to be a little crazy and have fun! I love you my little green girl!
