In the moment

Oh to be a child again! When everything is 100% about being in the moment. When life's most pressing problems are about whether your class beats the other class in an in-school competition. 

Maybe I'm remembering my youth through rose tinted glasses, but when I see Margot's enthusiasm for the latest activity her school has thought up to boost spirit I can't help but smile. This week its RED vs. BLUE: half of the school has been arbitrarily assigned to the red team and the other half of the school is on the blue team. Why? Why not?!

Everyday of the week there is an event to get points. On Tuesday, kids received one point for every article of blue they wore. Margot did OK. She got 14 points...

Not bad...

However, with her team, Blue, falling behind on the scoreboard, she stepped up her game today and scored 41 points for every piece of green clothing she wore in honour of St. Patrick's Day!!! 

Much better!

 She even painted her fingernails and toenails green to try and get bonus points. Attagirl!

First time toenail painting!

  1. Margot is adorable. Way to go for all those points, she clearly earned them.

    Sidebar...I keep thinking of the episode of friends where Joey puts on ALL of Chandlers clothes... 😂
