One of the things we love to do at the beginning of summer is to attend the Kickoff Event at the local library. This year children were supposed to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grew up. I remembered the morning of the event that they were supposed to dress up, but not as what. So my two youngest decided to the Thing 1 and Thing 2 which seemed right. We added a wig and then just changed the job to clown since he was already dressed up. By the time we took the picture he had taken off the wig.
My daughter wanted to be an explorer, but couldn't find a hat that she felt worked with her costume, so at the last minute she put on a cheerleader costume instead.
My oldest was a scientist. He brought test tubes and a small microscope.
We couldn't find another wig, I'm pretty sure in one of my cleaning fits I threw it away, so he put on a beret and was a painter.

Those are lovely pictures. You've got quite the clan!
ReplyDeleteYour artists looks very raffish!
What a great activity for kids to do! Your oldest looks like quite the scientist with a white lab coat and everything.
ReplyDeleteIt is great when libraries put on fun events for the kids. I'm going to check some out for my grandson, who stays with me on alternate weeks.

So cute! Hooray for libraries. They could have all my tax dollars as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteAaah. I remember the library summer reading. I loved it as a kid and my kids loved it too. Now they end up doing summer reading for school, which they don't enjoy nearly as much. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteWonderful quick thinking to get them dressed up in a short space of time! I love the little artist. My snapshots are here http://chriscross-thebooktrunk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/parisian-pictures-take-two.html
ReplyDeleteCute! Looks like they had lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event! I love the way they took those photos!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a fun way to kick off the program at the library! Creative ideas for the kids! I'd be curious to know what my own kids would choose. :)
ReplyDeleteLibrary programs were fun. I took our children when they were quite young. I don't remember them dressing up. What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun event. Nice story of all the costumes!
ReplyDeleteIt's great how they worked with what they had to figure out a costume. Thanks for sharing the story behind the costumes!
