Abby participated in the first annual Second Grade Fairy Tale Bowl. This was such a cute event that Abby studied so hard for and she was sick the whole time too. After studying classic Fairy Tales, each class took a test. The top scorers on the test made a team of 4 students. They then competed in a game against the other classes to test their knowledge on the details of the Fairy Tales they had been studying. Abby would stay up late in her bed at night, making flashcards of details in the stories, Then she would take them to school and quiz her team mates. They didn't get as high of a place as they would have liked, but it was such a fun way to teach kids how to study and compete. Joey and I were both able to go and watch. All of the students were invited to dress up as a fairy tale character. Abby really, really wanted to be Belle in her blue village dress from the Disney movie. I got this idea to make it out of knit t-shirts. I just sort of laid it on the floor and cut it out and sewed it together. I used the apron from Olivia's Belle costume, and just rolled it under to shorten it. Abby was so happy and impressed. "You should do this for a job," she told me. Just don't look at those seams too closely.
