Fairy Tales

Recently, the children spent a week learning about fairy tales at school. The end the week, they had a fairy tale party and parade on Friday afternoon.  Of course dress up was involved! Will went as a dragon and Avery, of course, went as a princess.

Surprisingly, we do not really have a lot of dress up clothes/accessories at our house. I am sure this is will change soon though with Avery growing up. I made a quick trip to the Dollar Tree, and $3 later, came home with some great pieces.

I found a dinosaur hat for Will that was green and decided it could pass as a dragon. A few cuts of scrapbook paper later and we had a fire breathing dragon! Pair it with an inside out green shirt and some green shorts and voila!!  Will's only complaint was that his dragon didn't have "muscles" and he begged me to draw "upside down rainbows" on his shirt.

At the store, I got Avery a tiara and wand. Yes, she has other tiaras but they don't fit her big head and this was a nice, large and flexible tiara. She already had a pink tutu so we put that with a monogrammed shirt and Princess Avery was created!

They had a great time at all the festivities and luckily Matt and I were both able to be there so both children had a parent with them at their parties. It didn't take long for Avery to start requesting her Bubba though, so she spent a good portion of the party in his classroom.

I tried to get a good picture of them together afterwards but obviously my hopes were too high!
