ME! Again!!
That’s right for the second year running one of my creations* has won a “best costume” at the school. In fact this year I outdid myself picking up 2, yes that’s right, count them, TWO gongs. Danielle and Jordan swept the floor at the young ones party winning both available awards. Here are some pictures of the modelled items…
This might sound to the lay person like some trivial nonsense from a typical adoring dad. WRONG! This carries serious playground kudos. You might think you are just picking up your kids at 3 o’clock but no. It’s akin to a type of warfare, where the sly look is king. I’m now immune from the scoffing of the mothers in the playground for a good fortnight or so. That my friends, is priceless.
*Catty may have had a hand in the painting of Marge’s necklace and shoes and the Leprechaun’s pot o’ gold.
If its halloween then why are they dressed up as a leprechaun, a snooker table and what can only be described as a standard lamp?
LOL. I had this conversation with swmbo, apparently the costumes need not be scary/evil.
Hey! I saw your comment on Misssy’s blog, and I came to check you out. Just had to laugh at the “playground kudos” remark! Sad how true that is. Love the costumes!
Hehe, murder isn’t it. It’s amazing how many topics you can be shot down with, everything from the not-straight ponytail/fringe(bangs) to the forgotten lunch money/homework. All done with a disapproving glance. I’m pathetic and I know it, thanks wholly to the other parents.
Thanks for the comments.
