Fashion Show...

A couple of weeks ago, Kendra's dad came for a visit.  He comes about every two months or so, and has been participating in our school's Watch D.O.G.S. program.  D.O.G.S. stands for Dads of Great Students, and basically the program encourages dads to take a day or two off in the year to help out at our school.  It is a great program, and it is neat to have the dads around.  When Kirk comes, he does the school thing, then we all hang out together, and this time Kendra had a piano competition so he got to be here for that. 

A "first" happened this visit...Kirk actually took Kendra shopping for clothes.  He has NEVER done this before (ahem...it was at the suggestion of his new girlfriend.  I think I like her!)  Anyway, they headed out and went to Justice, Kendra's favorite place for clothes.  I rarely buy her stuff there because it is pricey even with the regularly offered 40% discount cards.  But Kirk can afford it, so off they went.  Kendra was so excited to show off her purchases in a fashion show when she got home.

The skirt she is wearing in the first four pictures is one she already had--she is showing the new shirts.

Not sure what the deal is with the bent knee.... :-)

The last picture is a whole outfit.  Long story, but decisions without a mama sometimes require some rethinking (aka:  returning), but overall a good effort! 

Most of Kendra's clothes are hand-me-downs so it was particularly fun for her to get a whole bunch of BRAND NEW stuff.  Don't get me wrong--the hand-me-downs are fantastic and we LOVE them, but it is nice to have new sometimes, isn't it?
