Piglet


Bean had to dress up for school today as an animal. Specifically, they preferred a woodland animal, but any animal would work. Being in a foreign country and getting an assignment like this, threw me for a loop. What was I supposed to do? I don't have a sewing machine here, or even a needle and thread. I don't know where to buy a costume. So I looked in our dress up box to see if anything we already owned would work. I found a Piglet costume from Halloween last year that Gerbie had worn. It was size 24 months, but I went to work with some scissors and was able to fashion the vest, the tail and the hood/ears. Pink clothes underneath and we had a pig. To make it a woodland animal - we told her she was a wild pig. Done and done.
Also done - our visit with Papa and Ganny. As I write this, they are jetting across the ocean on their way home. We had a great two weeks with them and we are all sad to see them go. Thanks for visiting Papa and Ganny - we miss you already!
