Don't you just love it when teachers decide that asking the kids to come to school dressed up is a good idea? Benjamin came home with a letter from school saying that they were going to be dressing up for World Book Day and that they had to come as a book character.
Fortunately they gave us plenty of notice (for a change) so for once I had time to get something sorted. Benjamin had already decided that he wanted to be Pinocchio, which threw me into panic mode immediately. However a quick google search later and a picture of Disney's Pinocchio in hand and I was a little less stressed. We had most of the things that we needed already - good choice Ben!
The only things we needed were a bow tie, panama hat & feather. Thankfully a friend's husband Roy came to
Kate's fancy dress party a couple of weeks ago wearing exactly the hat we needed (yes it fits Ben just as well as it did Roy!) and once I'd done a quick trip to Hobbycraft for embellishments, it was sorted. Oh and I did buy him a nose - after all Pinocchio wouldn't be the same without his long nose now would he?
So here is Ben ready to go to school this morning. What do you think?

He look FAB! Well done you on getting a brilliant outfit together! Hannahs school didn't want them to dress up this year (phew), they just had to bring a book and a prop from the story as a clue. I got off lightly this year LOL!
