World Book Day


So it's that time of year again where all the kids get to go to school dressed up as their favorite character from a book. Oh the joys, there is always a drama but they look great in the end.

This was Anna-Belles first year and loves her dressy up dog so decided to go as one of the Dalmatians from 101 Dalmatians, not the easiest of costumes to fit under a coat I might add.

Aimee decided to go as Kate, a character from a series of books she is reading at the minute. Judging by this picture they have alot in common. I think she was just loving the fact she could go to school with a muddy face.
Danny went as Danny from Danny the Champion of the World. He loves Roald Dahl and must have read this one at least five times! I think he loves the fact that it's him and his dad taking on the world. A bit like him and Chris taking on the women of the house. Pity I cut up the only pair of school trousers that aren't too short!!!!!
Oh and then there's Emmaleigh, well I think you can see who she went as. She's Harry Potter mad at the minute. When I took the braids out her hair I was actually taken aback by the likeness although I don't think this picture does it justice. I was actually quite pleased with the gown, I made it up as I went a long at nearly midnight while Chris was frantically coloring in fabric to make the tie. I truly take comfort in the fact that she will be doing the very same thing for her children at some point!
She won best costume in her class ( I didn't know it was a competition!) so she was a very happy lady that day.
