Hello, hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
it's that time of year again for preparing for world book day, I'm not sure if it's just a uk thing or worldwide, does anyone else know?
Well, we've been through so many characters, it's so difficult trying to find a character that we can do the costume for and also one who someone else might not think of (so many disney princesses and Harry potter characters last year) we thought Alice (in wonderland) is too popular, so are most of the other characters from that book, Harry potter characters are always done by loads of kids, they have already done fairies from the Rainbow magic book series, so has Dorothy (wizard of Oz) and they've already done the mad hatter, little red riding hood, Goldilocks, winnie the witch and a couple of others over the past few years. We thought about doing Sophie from the B.F.G by Roald Dahl but both of my girls didn't like that idea, I thought of Veruca Salt from Charlie and the chocolate factory, I thought nobody would think of her as she is a spoilt brat and girls wouldn't want to go as a spoilt brat, (although I think most girls have acted like one, I know mine have once or twice, madams) but that also includes my girls, both of them didn't want to go as her either.

Well after hours of browsing the Internet and using our thinking caps we finally came up with Bagheera (black leopard) from the jungle book and Miss Honey from Matilda.
I bought a cat costume for Bagheera and a pretty pastel dress and mint green cardigan for Miss Honey's costume ( at least her costume can be used all the time) it's so difficult finding costumes for my eldest daughter as she is in 13 year old clothes and not many shops do costumes in that size, and womens costumes are mostly skimpy and the sexy kind. Finally we can relax knowing they are sorted.
I would love to know about your ideas and what your kiddies have been as before or going as this year.
Ta ta for now.
Thanks for reading.
