I think my kids have a pretty good imagination.  It seems like

every day they have a different costume or game they are playing.

I have NO idea what #3 is doing here.. she has

on a blanket, with this little sweater clip thing

holding it together.  Oh.. and let’s not leave out

the red and blue swimming noodles.

#5 is sporting a black grosgrain ribbon around his

head, a polka dot handkerchief, foam shield and sword,

camera bag or purse or um satchel, and a Boy Scout Weeblo pin.

I probably shouldn’t leave out the super cool sleeveless

Spiderman shirt.

Here you can see what I think is the sweater clip..

OOh.. and I believe the Sponge Bob pajama pants

with her brothers “House of Jesus” t-shirt on completes the look.

In her defense, she was the bad guy to her brothers

“Super Hero” games they were playing.

I like to thing they are this creative because they are

homeschooled..  or maybe they just look homeschooled

because they are so creative..  Either way it does my heart

good to see them using their imaginations.

#3 has been dancing since she was a baby.  Here are her costumes this year.

Blue Ballerina

This is her jazz costume.. I think it’s super cute.

This is her tap costume.. they are dancing to “Ain’t going down till the sun comes up”

#3 isn’t crazy about this costume.

She REALLY dislikes these “spats” that cover her tap shoes

This is her Dance Team outfit.  I think she looks adorable..

She’s not crazy about the shorts.

This is her solo costume.. along with her brothers.

Recital day is just 11 days away.. can you tell we are excited?

If you follow my To-Do list.. (GET A LIFE) I’m kidding.. thank you for reading my boring lists.. You would know that I have been working on some pressing projects.  #1 has a wedding to go to, and for some reason COULD NOT wear any of the clothing she owns.. or buy any new clothing.  #4 needed a yellow tie made for his dance recital costume, #3 needed a solo costume made for her dance “A Day with the Cat in the Hat”.  Along with that costume.. she thought it would be cute to have her two younger brothers (#4 and #5) dress up as Thing 1 and Thing 2… SO I made those costumes also.  I am SO glad I took the the clothing and textile classes all 4 years in high school, or my kids would be out of luck!

I present to you Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Here’s #3 in her skirt.  I still need to put the sequins on it.

I think she really likes it when she spins in it.  I thought the costume

looked a little pirate-ish to me.  Argh! Matey!

Wrestle-Mania is alive and well at my house.

#1 chose some vintage fabric we had downstairs for her skirt.

The fabric was a pain to work with.. but I think it turned out pretty cute.

I forgot to take a photo of #4 in his tie… but I promise I made it too
