This year was tricky but I think we had it covered. That quiff did take nearly one hour of gell slathering and child sitting still while the stylist mother, held it in place until dry. The fact that he then absent mindedly flicked it to the side prior to strutting his stuff we'll just ignore....

Around this time of year there are lots of parents asking the same question.
Spotlight is lined with parents weighed down with fabrics you just know they are not purchasing to make themselves a top with.Its Book Week.Go forth and go crazy.
Oliver decided he would be the Pheonix from the Tashi series.This is an absolutely gorgeous series written by Anna and Barbara Fienberg and illustrated by Kim Gamble.I highly recommend it for the six to eight year old reader.Especially the boys.
Henry went as an evolved green dragon from his novel Saint Of Dragons.
I will I will I will draw the giveaway winner this Saturday!
Back to the birthday quilt.Someone around here is turning seven next week.........

Yesterday I managed to spend 3 hours in Spotlight.THREE WHOLE HOURS.We thought we may die eventually.At one point,as desperate spotlight bargain hunters started hungrily removing bolts from our trolley,we thought someone else might die too.A friend and I took a deep breath and ventured out to get everything we need to create some costumes for the end of year concert.Believe me when I tell you that our trolley was so full that you could not actually push it.There was nothing to see but a sea of greens and teals.Actually it looked very beautiful all laden in those gorgeous shades but,being the slack blogger I seem to have turned in to,I had no camera and people were seriously digging in for some goodies so one of us had to stand guard at all times while the other kept hunting.Nuts!!
Tomorrow we begin the sew-a-thon.With any luck we might come close.Close enough for a primary school production any way ; )
Think of us won't you.
