Today was hillbilly day. The Homecoming event calendar that was sent home with the kids lined out the weeks dress up activities. For hillbilly day it stated 'Dust off that pair of overalls and your favorite John Deere tractor hat'. My mommy light bulb went 'ding'! Kate has a pair of overalls....she is a country girl at heart so check that one off the list. And John Deere hat?!?! Well let me see....about 7 years ago Justin purchased a brand new John Deere tractor and with that purchase they sent him a owners edition John Deere hat. He has NEVER worn it but had kept it with all of his other hats...I was so excited! I bolted to the closet where he kept all his hats and then another light bulb went off....oh shux...when we moved, I know he cleaned out a lot of his clothes/hats that he never worn. Was the prized John Deere hat want of his victims? I propped myself up on clothes hampers and climbed to the back of the shelves and low and behold..there it was with the tag still on it. We pulled out this old pair of shoes that she had that were dirty and I would not ever dare let her wear in public...but hey! it's hillbilly day right? :)
To complete the ensemble, we got Justin to give up one of his prized old white t-shirts and we cut it into strips to serve as ponytail ribbons. I braided her hair the night before when she got out of the bath so that she could sleep on it and make it look messy (I do think that was her favorite part of it all - having messy hair!). There were a lot of cute kids dressed up this morning but I definitely had the best little hillbilly in these parts!
And here she is.............Hillbilly Kate.................
