Dress up day!

Usually, when the dreaded ‘dress up day’ comes around at the kids school, one of them informs me the night before when I’ve got home from a full days work and I end up doing a mad dash to whichever store I think will sell something ready made which links in to the theme.
This time, however as I’m on maternity leave I actually receive letters which somehow used to ‘disappear’ and had a weeks’ notice for technology day.

I finally got the chance to be the creative mum I’d always dreamed I’d be rather than the headless chicken running around telling them that next time if they don’t tell me in advance they’ll have to miss it (empty threats because I always fall soft!) 🙄

I had what I thought were some brilliant ideas but they both rubbished them and went with their own ideas which turned out pretty well.

My son won 2 achievement points for his iPad and both kids learned that with more organisation, you get a better outcome.
