The Hawaiian Day that was & wasn't

The last week of school they had a spirit week, or was it the week before the last week - doesn't really matter I suppose. Anyway on Friday of spirit week they were scheduled to have Hawaiian Day. Dan had taken Abbie to Wal-Mart to pick out a couple of new outfits (one for her one for Nate) & I had picked up some cheap flip flops at Target. The night before I got this great (at least in my head) idea to bling out the flip flops for Abbie.

I thought they turned out super cute & was so excited to show them to Abbie in the morning (we had even painted her nails a matching shade of pink earlier in the day), I was just sure she would love them. The next morning came and everything changed...

Nate got up, ready for school & off he went - he was so excited about the day ahead.

Abbie however woke up with a sore throat and a raging fever, so she didn't go to school. She was heartbroken about it. She LOVED the flip flops! We made a compromise, she got to wear her outfit to the doctor's office & I would get it all clean & she could wear it all again the last day of school. It made things a little better for her. (She ended up having Strep.) She looked so cute - both times!

See? SO CUTE!

 

Even a pretty hair do.

Really not feeling that great.

I eventually got a smile out of her.

I am grateful for warm days and cool nights, mostly that summer has finally decided to show up! Not that I love being hot - but the sunshine lifts everyone's spirits, and besides it really doesn't get that hot here - another thing to be grateful for!
