She looked so funny, and was so excited. I love it now that she takes the lead with dress-up days, and tells me what she needs. My son used to loathe dressing up, until almost the last year of primary school, when he suddenly seemed to get that it was all just a bit of fun.
I have put together as many of the old dress-up day pictures as I could find. There are a few missing, as I think they were pre-digital camera. I love putting together an outfit.
But when I worked at my daughter's school I also had to come up with an outfit for myself as well. Strangely I don't have any photos of those.The funniest occasion was when I bumped into an old friend on the way home in my Winnie the Witch purple and black stripey tights, and cape. She was looking at me very strangely, until I reassured her they weren't my usual clothes.
Linking to Saturday Snapshot. I can't believe I forgot to link last week. Meant to put my Sand Dollar post on, but homework just seems to take over the weekends these days. Sigh!

Ok, found one of me that is not too embarassing, as Sheep with Lamb.
Aren't kids wonderful when they dress up! And I bet you have fun creating the costumes. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/ksE6O
ReplyDeleteI love it! Isn't dress-up fun? Willie Wonka is one of my fave Roald Dahl classics ... I am most partial to James and the Giant Peach though !
ReplyDeleteDressing up is one of the best creative activities for kids. Now that mine are too old, my daughter acts in local theater so she can still dress up. Last year, The Three Musketeers and the year before Pride and Prejudice. Dressing up is still just as much fun for her. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteSo fun that you captured photos to document each costume. Your daughter is sure to enjoy these when she gets older as well. Thanks for sharing!

Dressing up is always fun...Love the expressions on your daughter's face in each shot. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteMine today includes some "dressing up," too...Halloween. MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Love your dress up pictures! Your Oompa Loompa is a cutie! I still love to dress up...I'm going to miss it this year. One of my friends used to do an adult Halloween Party--but it's not on this year. :-(
ReplyDeleteHere's my Snapshot.
She's so cute and adventurous with her costumes! Yours is fun too!
ReplyDeleteDress up days are the best...some of my best memories of my son's adolescence. THAT is an amazing looking Oompa Loompa. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI love the one with Noddy - so cute! Your daughter really seems to get into it which is great!
ReplyDeleteI was smiling when I saw the photos. Were you controlling yourself not to laugh in the sheep with a lamb?
ReplyDeleteI like it when our grandchildren do dress-up characters for school.
Darling photos♫ Happy weekend♥
ReplyDeleteWonderful costumes and so creative! The Oompa Loompa and Pa Ingalls are especially clever! I love dress up days too but my boys never did. I think girls tend to have more fun with it. Great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI love photos of kids dressing up, these are all great. I really like the womble.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for a school event! Looks like she really got into the role, too. :) I love all the creative costumes!
ReplyDeleteThese photos would make a nice collage. It looks like your daughter has had fun dressing up through the years!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful - you made my day - thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! Dress up days at school are a hoot. And how very brave of you to share with the world yourself as a sheep, too cute!!!
