All Girl

Ok so when my Mom brought Kensley home she had a new umbrella. She explained to me that she was being picked on at school for having boy stuff (superman backpack and spider man umbrella). So she bought her this new one. It had cherries on it and was red. When Mark came home I was telling him about what she had said. I had Kensley go get the new one to show it off. Well when she opened it we couldn't get it to close. I was going to rain the next day again or still...I said maybe she could borrow Kaytlyn's and Kaytlyn could borrow mine. That seemed to sit ok with everyone. I also had picked up a blue High School Musical backpack for her. So after that we gave the kids their "pillowcase" presents and hers was the new backpack. Keep in mind it was all sparkly. When she opened it she started to cry. She said kids will still make fun of her

:( since it was blue. It was almost 9 and their bedtime is 8. Mark said go get out of your jammies and get dressed we are going shopping. So the whole family went to get her a new backpack. The choices were very limited on umbrellas since it was a rainy day so we got the pokadot blue one...Daddy said boys don't have pokadot ones. Mark also wanted to replace her jacket since it was blue but Kenny said that it ws ok she likes that and no one made fun of it. Mark is usually so passive about EVERYTHING but not this. I was so proud that he took it seriously and fixed it then and there! What a great Dad they are so lucky!
