pj's & pancakes...

now tell me that doesn't sound like a dream turned into reality on a saturday morning...

but instead...

those are two words to describe my sweet girls' day at school today!!!! this is a day that i can literally say ella has been waiting for - for a year! the whole school wore their pajamas today and every class had fresh fruit, pancakes, & syrup for lunch! even the teachers got in the spirit and ella could not stop giggling at the fact that mrs. bradley was wearing her purple robe!!!

ella chose a very pink, very spectacular pair of fairy pj's to don for this momentous pajama day...and then there was the dilemma of what little miss maddie was going to wear! during the winter, my "babies" (yes, i know she's 2...but that just happened...i can't let go!) wear fleece, footed pajama sleepers...kinda hard to fit those puppies into shoes...so we had to dig into the recesses of the dresser drawer to find some 2-piece duds. well, apparently my child has grown a few inches since the spring! nevertheless, madeline wore a very spring like, flood water pair of pajamas...but she looked adorable and she wore them with pride!!!!!! after all, that's what counts!

due to the fact that ella was up in the 7 o'clock hour, there were no battles to wage upon getting dressed this morning, along with no major whines about getting hair brushed...i would say the girls were "uber excited" about the annual "wear your pajamas to school & eat pancakes" day!

now i just need to figure out how to make wearing regular clothes and eating a packed lunch from mom as exciting as today! any suggestions!?!?
