Twiga Costume

The long rains are starting.  Great for the garden but that means we are stuck inside.  So we are looking for new and interesting ways to entertain ourselves.

Pray is going to be in a play tomorrow!!  Lion King I think.  Parents are responsible for the costumes and the teacher was hoping for a 'homemade' look.  So with a loving heart and great enthusiasm Amy pinned some material to a t-shirt to make a very homemade looking bird.  Yesterday after dress rehearsal I get a desperate call looking for help... almost all the moms went with the 'store bought' look instead.  Poor Pray.

While the mommies cranked our creative wheels, scratched our heads, cursed the power outages, and stubbed our fingers with sharp pins, the boys played.  

And Wha-laa!   

We turned Pray in to the coolest Twiga (giraffe) this side of the equator.  And Kaia doesn't really need an excuse to dress up... but a photo shoot with Twiga is the best reason ever!

One thing leads to another... the shades and smiles are all coming out now!

My dream was one photo of all 3 of them in shades.  This was the closest we got.  Not bad :)

And Helen... Thanks and I responded to your comments about the garden.
