My adorable nerd

Margaret and her school chums are dressing up like nerds today. For fun. Because they wanted to.

I don't think she's nerdy looking at all. Check out her super cute self:

I covet that polka dotted tie. If she nevers wears it again, I'm totally snatching that from her.

Also, her t-shirt says "smart chicks rule." True dat.

I've mentioned many times Margaret's love of reading. Here's an illustration:

That's Mar brushing out her hair while reading one of her brother's Cirque du Freak books.

When Sean was in middle school, he devoured Darren Shan's series of vampire books, Cirque du Freak. Shan had about six written when Sean starting reading them. Then he's have to wait months for each new book to come out which he'd read in one day.

Like brother, like sister.

We still have most of the series, except we're missing numbers 1 and 8. Mar wanted to try them out. Instead of re-buying number 1, we checked it out from the Mesa County Public Library on her Kindle Fire. So awesome.

She read the first book in about four days. Now she's on the fourth book. And — as you can tell from the picture above — she can't put them down.

Yeah, Mar may have inherited the nerd gene.

I wonder which side she got it from.
