"Make Up" Day

The girls were really excited to share something with me when they got in the van today after school. As soon as they got in their seat belt they said together: "mommy, mommy we get to wear make up to school on January 19th...even the boys have to wear makeup!" I said, what for; are you having a play or something? They said, " No Mrs Thompson said that we are having a Make up day on January 19th!! Finally I caught on and realized that they were talking about the snow day they have to "make up." So I had to break the bad news to them that they had to go to school on MLK day and they could not wear makeup. They were so bummed!
