The Princess's Costume - Take Two

Actually, she's still going to wear the pink wig and princess gear tomorrow night. Our dog, Sally, is going to wear the purple wings and tutu to accompany us trick-or-treating as the

Fairy-Dog-Mother. Hubby groans at me whenever I say that, but my sense of humour has always been a little off. I promise to post photos!

Costume 2 is just because the Princess has a dance-a-thon and ANOTHER Hallowe'en party today. Hubby conveniently, for him anyway, had to be out of the house early for a training session. So it was left to me to talk the girl out of wearing her long princess dress and into wearing some fairy accessories that would be less likely to trip her up while dancing. As you can see, we also had to find a matching costume for DW, who is accompanying the Princess to school for show and tell. Because it just wouldn't do for DW to be sad that she was the only girl without a costume, now would it?


Of course, the Princess needed face paint. " ALL fairies have sparkles and hearts on their cheeks - don't you know that mommy?" Right. What could I've been thinking? I didn't have anything in the house except a tube of white face paint from her ghost costume last year, so I just mixed that with some food colouring and voila! Yes, sometimes my brilliance amazes even me. But if you're going to ignore the school's demands for baked goods, you have to at least get the costume right.
