Fancy Nancy goes to Ellen Smith

This week was the book character parade at Ellen Smith. Each student had to choose their favorite character out of book, dress up like them, and bring the book. The entire school then had a parade and they walked by one by one. The costumes were very created and they boys enjoyed watching especially when they recognized one of their favortites. They loved being able to see our friends who attend the same school as Ashlin.
Ashlin chose Fancy Nancy among many others. Of course, she was the most adorable. The night before we sectioned her hair and put it in reverse twisties and then weaved purple ribbon into each twisty. Then we put her hair in rollers. Another long evening of hair fun! The results were definitely worth it. I was finishing up Friday morning and asked her something using her name. She corrected me and said, "My name is not Ashlin, it is Nancy Fancy Nancy!" She immersed herself in her character all day. She said Fancy words & the french words she has learned from the book all day (e.g., Bonjour Mom!). The day was absolutely a kodak moment.




We had the missionaries over for dinner last night. We were telling them about the big day. Jaxon left the table. Shortly afterwards he walks up to me & says I have my things ready for Kindergarten. I asked him to show up his outfit. He went and put a pirate outfit on and had one of his favorite pirate outfits. He is so smart and is counting down the days until it is time for him to be in Kindergarten.

Jaxon is following in Ashlin's footsteps and Jeron is following in Jaxon's footsteps. Jeron has been wanting to be a chef just like Jaxon. He helped me make dinner the other night. He was so delighted and wanted to do as much as I would let him.
