Similar to Addison having a dress up day for grade 2, Preston also has a dress up day for Prep. All the prep students have to dress up as Nursery Rhyme characters for Nursery Rhyme Dress Up Day

June 2018 means school holiday fun!! With Jasper still at kindy it meant plenty of time for the two big boys to have some outings with Mummy. We had some great times at Movie World and SeaWorld, the boys loved having their photos taken with all the Characters at Movie World and going on the rides at SeaWorld

It’s actually a little tricky trying to find good ideas for boys, particularly original ideas so you won’t have 10 other kids dressed as the same thing. For Addison’s complete costume he needed a teal colour vest with an awful lot of pleating and little cuffs at the shoulder seams, with buckles and studs (I ended up drawing up a pattern to make this and really just worked out what I needed to do using photos of the vest). Boot Covers which I luckily found a free pattern online from a pirate costume someone had made, I just made the adjustments needed to suit the Flynn Rider style. (I was able to make a satchel rather easy from some faux leather), some wanted posters (I found the images I needed online and was able to print this out on brown paper for that weathered look), a mini fry pan (after all, who knew! ? ! ) and a brown belt to complete the look (for some reason we only have black in this house, so this was a huge hunt to find a cheap brown one! ).

Charles and the kids were great and spoilt me for Mother’s Day. We went out for an early mother’s day breakfast on the Saturday (as we would be at church Sunday morning). We were spoilt even more at Church for Mother’s Day, with a special family photo booth set up taking our photos. I did some more sewing during May, which actually saw me sewing a dress that I wore to my very first Emmanuel Mother
