Feb 6, 2012 - Today is another milestone in our school year. It was the 101st day at school and so our school had the theme of the 101 Dalmations. Over the weekend, my parents and I prepared my Dalmations costume. It was quite hard to find a long white full-sleeve shirt in the stores but we managed to find a good half-sleeve shirt at one of the stores. My dad had the bright idea (turned out to be not so bright in the end) of trying to iron on some patches on the shirt but that did not go off very well, so we went about the old fashioned way...Paint!!.

We went to the local Michael's store and bought some black paint and painted spots on the shirt. It dried overnight and we had a nice shirt ready to go. My parents came to the school to see the 101 Dalmations Parade where we walk around the school and the kids from the higher grades cheered us on. After we did 2 rounds around the school, we all went to the cafeteria to take some pictures. We had also made some dog ears in school on Friday so we looked really cute. My mom put a little black dot over my nose to help with the cute factor.

My parents came to watch the parade and take pictures and I was really happy they did. 100 days of school, I have so many more to go.
