Today was World Book Day at the children's school. I found out on Friday that they would be having a 'favourite book character' dress day. We have had a CRAZY few days - Abby broke her finger, our pastor's wife had a baby so Dean needed to preach on Sunday, funeral of a dear old friend, secondary school places announced...the list could go on, but I can't take time now.
ANYWAY, last night all the children were talking about what/who they wanted to be and I got into action!
Abigail new that she wanted to be 'Nancy Drew' - this seemed quite straight forward except that this Nancy Drew wanted to have all matching accessories etc. it took a while to convince her that she would still be Nancy Drew without EVERYTHING matching!
Sam wanted to be one of the 'Wild Things' from 'Where the Wild Things Are' but unfortunately lack of time and resources ruled that out. We finally decided on 'Billy Bonkers'.
Thankfully we have the resources of the church's playgroup dressing up box so I decided that Aleah could go as Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz'.
After a few improvises and some hot glue everybody was ready to go! The school had an assembly at the end of the day and paraded all those who participated on the stage. Many of the teachers also took part - which the children all love!
