It's that time of year again (second year we've been doing book week).... BOOK WEEK!
Saying those words puts some parents into a spin. What to do, what to dress the kiddies in? Ours was made harder this year by the choice of a theme! Usually you just pick a favourite book character and it's easy done!

Last year Buster Jim just HAD to go as "Gingie" out of Shrek. We figured that since "The Gingerbread Man" is from an old fable we could use him!
For 2011 they chose a theme of "Outerspace". So of course EVERY kid wants to go as an alien. Today has been alien sewing day. I decided to model my alien costume on Melly and Me's "Come In Peace" toy.
We have a cape.....
and a mask....
I just can't finish the alien suit until Buster Jim gets home from school.... measuring his size off his clothes isn't working so well......Who else is 'slaving away' over Book Week costumes?

Just love them!
We did our usual Where's Wally dress up. But my boy loved it.
I somehow managed to evade Book Week in my son's life!
Love the alien mask!
Love "Gingie" from last year!
Cannot wait to see this alien complete and modeled!
We didn't have Book Week when mine were school age!
The costumes you made look fantastic!
I am sooo glad those book week costume days are far behind me. I love "gingie"
