It's nature AND nurture!

If you can't guess just by looking at them these ladies are sisters.

Miss Rebecca dressed as the story of the Wizard of Oz a few years ago. The story? (you ask) Yes, the story. See the rainbow tiara on top? She's also wearing rainbow eyeshadow. A beautiful grey cyclone around her neck. The hot as a griddle house corset. A witchy skirt and the requisite striped stockings and ruby slippers peeking out below the house. Brilliant, no?


Fast forward to this year. After a small amount of consultation with her older sister, K executed this delightful rendition of Fay Wray.


Would that I were this smart, this creative and this motivated.

    For the record, it wasn't so much consultation as it was curiosity and inquiry on my part.

  2. I LOVE creative costumes! My baby went as a Lindt truffle this year - with a LOT of help from Daddy-the-mechanical-designer - and was the most creative costume in her school's parade.

    The little neighbor girl across the street used to come up - with her dad - with the most elaborate and expansive costumes I'd ever seen. One year, she was a vampire IN a coffin; the next, she was a little girl being kidnapped by a HUGE alien (she was the girl's head, arms and torso and the alien's legs - she and her dad built an enormous, elongated green head that they mounted on her shoulders and big, stuffed arms they wrapped around her. It was brilliant.
