Mom, It’s not a Halloween Party (for WW)

This post brought to you in cooperation with Wordful Wednesday over at
Angie’s place…

My pumpkin_seed ( H has decided that is what she wants her knick name to be from now on, where does she come up with this stuff??)  goes to a Christian school where they don’t celebrate “Halloween”. They have Harvest Festival or Pioneer Days or something equally non-”Halloween”. They do, however, get to dress up. This year pumpkin_seed and her friend K. decided they would dress up as Queens. K’s grandmother brought the girls dresses from up north, where she lives. I guess she got them for free somewhere and wanted the girls to have them for dress up or whatever.

Well, K. decided to take the smallest of the two (even thought she’s the biggest of the girls) AND the nicest one. Oh well, it was her grandmother who got them. So anyway, pumpkin_seeds was a size misses 12. She is a size 7/8 GIRLS. So SHE (her teacher wants all their costumes to be a work of their own with as little help as possible) had to take it in several inches on each side. Then she decided the pearls and sequins were not enough just on the bodice so she added some to the tulle skirt as well. She also added a button to the middle of the top of the bodice.

She then proceeded to tell me she needed a sceptre. A sceptre. She’s 12, where does she come up with this stuff?? Anyway, pumpkin_seed and K decided they would “make ” sceptres from sticks. So they went out into the back yard and found sticks. They painted and decorated them as best they could. This is what my daughter ended up with….

not too shabby for a 12 year old, heh?  btw..is anyone else jealous she can fit into this teeny thing she made???  I’m juss sayin’…
