With Thursday being a snow day, I completely forgot that Friday was a dress-up day at school! I thought of it Thursday night, just before we went to sleep. And it wasn’t a quick easy one to think about and plan for without the kids. It was a day they were to dress up as their favorite character. We kind of just view that as a day to dress up however they want, and I think that works. Do kids actually dress up as a specific character?? Ours don’t. They don’t have much knowledge about characters, really! Hopefully our version of this dress-up day counts!
First thing in the morning, we got the kids up and told them to just come to breakfast in their jammies. While they ate, we told them about the dress-up day, and they decided on their costumes while they ate. Its helpful that we’ve been gifted really fun dress-up clothes over the years!
Therefore, we ended up wiiiiith…
Pizza!
A cowgirl!
And a tiger!
Can I add in here that costume days are just SO much harder in winter?! Hahaha! Getting Rowan’s paws into his costume was hysterical and painful. Those snow pants gave us a run for our money!
His poor teacher, lol! Meanwhile, Dekker wore his pizza over his jacket, and Laela brought her horse in a bag. But, everyone was happy, and thats whats important here.
Solly and Wavy were in full costume mode too, not to be left out! Solly was pretty devastated to not be able to wear the horse Laela had chosen, but he recovered, and instead of being a fireman on a horse, he was a fireman. And Wavy opted to be the little tiger.
They were terribly sweet!
Wavy took it a step further later and became a tiger princess, which was pretty awesome.
Over all, the day was VERY cute, and there is newfound excitement over the dress-up clothes! Which means the kids alternate between super happy and fighting. Also, that our basement is wrecked just about all the time, but toy tidying time still comes around and everyone still does their part, and eventually, the floor is visible again.
Thank you to the beautiful people who put into our family, in this case, in the way of dress-up clothes!! You’ve made the recent days more fun!
