I love Red Ribbon Week! The kids all get to do something fun with their clothes each day of the week (along with some other fun activities.) Here is a rundown of the week:
Monday was WEAR RED day. So, obviously, we wore RED!!! I even took pictures of Rylee's hair because she made sure that the hair was even appropriate for each day. Funny girl.
And don't forget the nails. They too MUST be RED!
And the cute little group Rylee walks to school with. This is her and Amelia and another cute little boy in the neighborhood. They all looked so cute in their red attire.
Tuesday was "Drugs Will Turn Your Life Inside Out and Upside Down Day." So, we had her wear her clothes inside out. The tank top that is on the outside is usually underneath the long sleeve shirt, and her pants were turned inside out.
Then we did her hair in "upside down" French braids. She LOVED this one!
And, again, the three cute, crazy kids! Look how funny they are. Amelia kept putting her hood over her face since it was on backwards. But I made her put it down so I could get her cute face. It was funny to see all of them giggling because their clothes were so funny that day. They were HYPER that morning! It was great!
Wednesday was walk to school day and they were supposed to wear green to symbolize healthy choices over drugs. So, here are all of the kids in their green attire getting ready to "walk to school," (like that is out of the ordinary!):
Thursday was "Hugs, Not Drugs Day." They wore their pajamas to school and took a stuffed animal. I LOVED this day. There is something so great about wearing pajamas to school!
The whole group thought it was great too! They are so cute. It will be a sad day when they think they are too big to carry a stuffed animal to school for fun.
And today was "Sock it to Drugs and Alcohol Day." They were supposed to wear crazy socks. Here's Rylee!
And a close-up of the socks:
I couldn't get a group shot today because I had to take Rylee to school this morning so she could take a project and not ruin it. This leads me to our other fun story for the week...Today they could choose to participate in a "Creature Feature" contest in which they were supposed to make something out of fruits and vegetables to help remind them to make healthy food choices. I was NOT HAPPY about helping Rylee last night. She insisted on participating in this, and I just was not in the mood and am definitely NOT creative. I was paralyzed. So this is what we came up with:
So we drive to school today, and I reminded her to not feel bad if she didn't win a prize. I was not feeling confident about our creation at all, but she participated and had to be happy with that. So, she comes home from school today all excited with a huge bucket full of stuff (really, LOTS of stuff) and says that she won first prize for "Most Colorful." I had to laugh. It would win first prize for THAT. It may not be pretty, but it sure is colorful! Hehehe.

Yay! First to post! You gave me some great ideas about our "Red Ribbon Week" --next week. Cute ideas! Your kids (and friends) are so cute!
I love the fruit art. My girls school in the UK had a fruit animal competetion every year to celebrate Harvest. I was so amazed to see how creative the kids (and parents) were with fruits and veg!
See? That late night project really paid off! I think it's awesome!!! You should make one for Bill to take in next week ;) Charge them big bucks too
What a fun week!! Ours is this coming week. And that is a great project. Yay for 1st prize!!
You really don't give yourself enough credit. The fruit & veggies are amazing and helped Rylee feel amazing for the day. Plus, she scored with all the free goodies she won. You really are an amazing mom.
What fun week, and what a fun, creative mom you are!! Your Rylee is adorable, and I love the way you do her hair!
Such a fun, talented and creative mom you are!! I am so impressed with all your fun ideas!
Congratulations! I can't believe you don't think you are creative. It is a beautiful creation. And the things you do with your kids' hair is amazingly cute! You don't copy anyone either.
You are MOM of the WEEK!! Wow!! I have to say that your daughter is so very stylish! I love the socks and want to wear them myself. I just loved all her outfits! That is so fun. And you do her hair so fun too!! I wish someone could make me look that cute everyday. I love the Cute flowers out of Veggies! What a good idea. Congrats on the first place RYLEE! YAY!!
Wow i'm impressed! I was doing good to have the right color clothes clean on the right days.
I'll be glad when the month is over and I can go back to being an at home mom again.
BTW I loved rylees project. And you said you were not creative. it looks great! I'm glad she won. I am also glad my kids didn't tell me about it. one less thing to feel bad about.
I love the red nails.
You are a creative busy mom!
Wow... that's big kid stuff when you have to even have hair that goes with the theme!! Well done! And very creative with your healthy food contest. I'm impressed!
Um wow! I can barely remember that my kids are in school let alone get their hair done!
I have good news. This dress-up ends when Rylee hits Jr. High. They just don't care anymore and it is not cool. At least it was good news to me so I didn't have to figure out what Alex wore to school.
Congrats on the big win.
Man! I wish I could do that cool hairstyle on Jeffery.............HILARY check you out with that groovy braid for Rylees hair!!
I meant because its RED RIBBON week this way...why I wanted to do the cute hairstyle...I'm a little weird right now I just ate a lot of chocolate to make my self feel better over the "TV," thing....
Fun activities for Red Ribbon week! We never got to do that.
And congrats to Rylee and you for winning first prize. What kid wouldn't want to eat that?!
