Book Week

Twin2 Emma · Mar 4, 2008 7:58AM

Sophie is loving it as all the teachers swapped classes yesterday to read to all the children. They are going to the library today and having a book sale tomorrow. Then on Thursday, she is to go as her favorite book character, and could she go as something simple like Dorothy or Sleeping Beauty?....No, my beloved daughter wants to be the scruffy princess from Sir Charlie Stinky Socks! I have spent the last week trying to get a blonde wig and a Tutu and finally succeeded in my mission last night! Now all I have to do is make a green crown and sew flowers on the tutu!

Will post piccies on thurs if all this works!!

Is anyone elses school week being taken up by book week?!!!!

I think that they usually do but on a more toned down scale, hopefully you won't be told that you need to find a dressing up outfit overnight!!!

How is he this morning? Bet he's missed nursery?!

Morning to you both Emma's!!

Tom has to dress up as a favourite book character...was goin to do Horrid Henry, he now wants to be Dr.Who!!! Haven't got anything so far!! And its tomorrow....

Lucy-H · Mar 4, 2008 12:07PM

How about a coat of yours/Terry's and a long scarf and hat?
Though thats Tom Baker and he might want to be David Tennent.
Does he have a suit he could wear with a pair of trainers and the sonic screwdriver of course!

Nicolamumto3 · Mar 4, 2008 8:10PM

Lucy, Im so annoyed, I threw out his sonic screwdriver last week as it was broken!!! I can't find a suit jacket, thats just what I need really. He wanted a leather jacket (he wants to go as David Tennant!) He's got some new converse boots he wants to wear - he says thats what dr.who wears!! Its actually on thurs so I can have a quick rummage in charity shops 2mrw for an old jacket/blazer

Lucy-H · Mar 4, 2008 8:46PM

Nicola, Woolies are doing all doc who toys BOGOF.
Time for a new screwdriver me thinks!!

Nicolamumto3 · Mar 4, 2008 8:51PM

I know, terry would go mad if I bought another one!! as it wasn't such a good toy, Tom had it in bits as did Tate really quick. I will scour the charity shops tomorrow, we have so many here!!!

Lucy-H · Mar 4, 2008 8:52PM

Good luck in your quest!

Twin2 Emma · Mar 4, 2008 9:17PM

There is a Dr Who bath set, think it might be asda or one of the big supermarkets) that has a sonic screw driver in, this might solve your problem Nicola! Just remember to empty the bubble bath!!

I have spent the entire evening fastening flowers to a tutu and making a green felt crown - it all looks amazing yet my little sulky princess has gone to bed in a mood as apparantly her top for the day 'isn't quite right!!!'

Nicolamumto3 · Mar 4, 2008 9:48PM

I thought it was supposed to get easier when they got older, ha,ha!!! Toms always needing costumes for something at school, they only tell you at the last minute as well! X
