What's with all the spirit week events?

@mamallama1721 yeah that list is definitely challenging my kid mostly has easy ones there's a couple ones I can never do. Like my kid doesn't have every color of the rainbow clothes so that's why it makes it hard to do and I don't have like costume props here really

@ladyfreyja, my kid is obsessed with pink so most of her wardrobe is some shade of pink 😅 luckily we have a few stragglers that have either been gave to us, bought for a certain reason, or something like that. As far as the costume type, I usually have some kind of crafts stuff to make something simple but it’s definitely a challenge and really exhausting to keep up with 🫠

@mamallama1721 lol. yeah I have tons of craft stuff too but I never really have time to make things anymore with three kids

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that feels that way!

@mamallama1721, I feel like 5 days of spirit week for Homecoming is too much. I would forget 12 days of stuff, and wouldn’t want to spend $ to get what’s needed for all of these days.

@scruffy.nerf.herder, she has color days for like the first 2-3 weeks of school, a spirit week the beginning of November, and now a whollleeeee bunch of holiday shenanigans until Christmas break which isn’t until the 19th 🥲🫠 I’m sure there’s a few that we’ll not be able to participate in because she’ll either run of motivation for it or we’ll not be able to get what we need for it because I just spent over $20 on Christmas pajamas for the kids and I don’t really want to buy another set just for this lol

I would’ve been fine with a simple one of like wear red and green or dress like a reindeer because those are easy and if you need to buy something for it the dollar tree is loaded with things. That’s actually where I got her reindeer headband for tomorrow lol but a lot on the list just seems like a lot to me! We live in a tiny town and most people here don’t have a lot of money. If we need something from a bigger store than the dollar general we have to drive 25-30 mins for a Walmart 😅 I already feel bad for the kiddos that are going to have a hard time participating because I know what that feels like and I hate it for them so much!
