Students dressed as their favorite storybook character on Friday and then the whole school went on a storybook parade off school campus for a short trip around the food court and back. I'm sure traffic enjoyed the view as they had to wait for us all to cross the road several times on our trip.
Anyway, we threw together a costume at the last minute and I think it actually looked better in person than how the pictures show. It was a pretty chilly day so we had to make sure she was warm enough. We started with tights, cut up a green shirt of mine that I had no intention of ever wearing again (nor would anyone else want to) and put it over her glitterly thermal shirt. She REALLY didn't want to wear any pants but we insisted. She had those green pants from last spring and it worked fine but she did have some people guess she was Peter Pan instead of Tink. I managed to put her hair in a bun and threw in a glittery green pipe cleaner for some glitz around the bun. You cannot see it, but we also applied clear body glitter to eyelids and a couple of green stickers beside her eyes. She loved it and was strutted around all day. One day she'll look back on these pictures and realize just how challenged I am in these areas! Next year I will have to start on the costume a bit earlier.
