  If I had to complain about one thing about the girls' school here in Texas it's that they don't have nearly enough fun.  So much pressure is put on them and the teacher to do well on the end-of-year tests that a lot of the enjoyable, kid stuff goes out the window.  A costume parade for Halloween, for example.  This is Shelbi in kindergarten in Michigan.  Is she not the cutest?  The school in Michigan reminded me of what I loved about elementary school.  I remember having a class party for nearly every holiday.  But in Texas, Christmas is the only holiday they celebrate in school.  The kids can't even bring a treat for the class on their birthday.  It's a shame.
