School Spirit

This past week at the boys school was "Spirit Week", which meant a couple of things. One there was a chance to show school spirit, but it was also a break in dress code!

On Monday the boys got to wear jeans and a school shirt. They both have FCCS (Fountain City Christian School) sweatshirts - so that was perfect. I didn't get a picture of them though.

Then Tuesday was "formal day". Ronnie was pretty excited to participate. Nathaniel opted not too. I think he was not liking that he would have to be "more careful" at recess! He likes his freedom to play!

You'll notice, Eli and Maddie got in on the "spirit" too and wanted to wear their formal stuff! They were so excited to get to wear a tie and dress all day and to get to pose with the boys for their school things!

Wednesday was Pajama Day and although Daddy told them over and over again, "nobody wears PJ"s to school", they proudly wore their new Jammies from Grandma!

They both decided not to participate in Thursday's dress as it was Nerd Day. When I picked them up after school I ask them, "so what exactly does a nerd look like?". They proceeded to tell me (large glasses with tape on them, pants rolled up high, clothes that don't match, etc.) and said they were glad they didn't participate! Not sure really why that one was in there!

But Friday...that was the big day! The boys had heard two weeks ago what every day was going to be and they came home all excited about Friday! It was Twin Day and they wanted to be TWINS! I was excited for them as we planned out what they would wear. Then a week ago Friday they had an assembly and discovered that they had to draw a name for their twin. They were upset. They had really wanted to be twins with each other. They were super excited when Nathaniel drew Ronnie's name for his twin! So without further delay, I introduce to you...The Adkins Twins!

You'll notice we even took a pair of Nathaniel's old glasses and took the lenses out so that they could "really be twins". Then on Thursday night Ronnie cut his eye pretty bad and we had to butterfly it (never a dull moment), so Daddy said he would let Nathaniel wear a band aid too!

These 2 were very disappointed when their two hour fog delay turned into a cancellation. Now no one would see their twins!

They are really hoping it gets made up next week sometime, we'll see! For now, you'll have to settle with one last image of our twins!

Don't they just look like tough football players!?

Oh boy, not looking forward to that!
