Macie's preschool class has been taking turns each week spotlighting one of the students. This week it is Macie's turn. She has been talking about it for weeks...
What will she wear (she is very obsessed with clothes)?
How will she have me fix her hair?
What treat should she take to share with the other kids?
and the big one...
What will we put on her poster?
We planned to make her poster today because she was out of school. We printed out several pictures and tapped them to her poster. Then we told a little bit about her and I asked her what she liked to do and wrote those things around the pictures.
She told me she liked to:
jump on her bunk bed,
play with her brother,
ride her bike,
swim,
and lots of other cute little things.
But maybe the most important thing she told me was that she liked to draw. I got her posters all done (we made two just out of file folders so they would fit in her backpack), and she insisted on me allowing her to draw a picture on it. I hesitated thinking it would ruin my beautiful posters (terrible--I know), but I told myself that it was her posters and it was for "her special day" so if she wanted to draw on it then it would be fine.
She drew on it for a good 30 minutes while I did dishes and picked up the kitchen. Several hours later when Bridger got home from school she ran on got her "drawing" to show him (I still hadn't even seen it yet),
and said, "Look Bridger, you are blind!"
She laughed and laughed and then I saw the picture and I had a good laugh too!
Not only did she scribble out Bridger's face so he can no longer see, but she gave me a mustache and Jay a toupee.
Now I am debating if I should reprint all the pictures and make a new poster...I can't let all the 5 year olds think I have a mustache and Jay has horrible hair!

Thanks for the best laugh I have had for awhile. That is the cutest thing ever. {even though you and Jay have crazy hair growing everywhere!!} She is such a cute girl!!
That is hilarious...you are a good mom I probably would have never let the drawing occur, and if I did I would have supervised closely.
Oh my goodness, that brought tears to my eyes. HILARIOUS! What a silly girl!
So funny! Did you end up reprinting the picture or just senduing the poster "as is"?
Sending, not senduing. I really should spellcheck my comments.
so cute. I would say leave it... it is her personality. or maybe do a smaller reprint so they can see how it was before.
I am laughing out loud right now...seriously the most hilarious thing I have seen in a long time. My favorite is bridger blind. HA! What a fun girl. You will have to watch out for her...she is going to have LOTS of friends with a sense of humor like htat. Loved it!
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing your cute and funny stories, we don't get much of that kind of fun around here with our kids growing up so fast! I'm sure she keeps you hopping!
that made me laugh out loud, especially the picture of bridger. macie is such a cutie.
Hi Janae,
Congrats on your little sweetie coming soon - that went really fast for me.
Your kids are so cute and I love that jumping on the bed tops her list.
I am wanting to know if you will tell me where you got the pattern for the dresses. They are so cute.
