it was WESTERN DAY today

natalie had a busy week...

wednesday was st. patrick's day and it was a non-uniform day so her class was allowed to wear something green for the holiday.

then, on thursday she was supposed to have spring pictures taken but she wasn't feeling well so she didn't even go to school that day. she was so congested, she was "throwing up" phlegm. i almost considered sending her to school because she pretty much just had a bad cold but i'm glad i didn't because she didn't feel better until about 6:00 that evening. plus, i wanted her to get plenty of rest so she would be well enough to attend school the next day for "western day", something she (we) had been looking forward to for a while.

now, let me just explain before you go on to look at these photos, when i first knew i had to dress natalie in a western/cowgirl-ish outfit, i envisioned the following coming together much more western-y than it did. instead, she ended up looking more like dorothy from the wizard of oz! now, the only reason i chose her bright ruby red shoes was because they matched the outfit and i was not about to go out and buy cowboy boots for today.

with that being said, she looked absolutely adorable:

i volunteered to help out in natalie's class today, and when i arrived i surprised natalie by wearing this cheap red cowboy hat into her class. i picked it up at wal-mart after i dropped natalie off to school this morning because i knew her outfit was missing that special something. she was more than happy to wear it for the rest of the day :)


one of the activities they had planned was square dancing and for me, watching these little ones dance was the highlight of my afternoon!



the older kids took a break from class-change to watch the preschoolers dance


here is one of the videos of natalie dancing:
