This year has been the year of costumes at school. I don't have a large costume closest to pull from (something about kids destroying everything), but I've been really lucky with finding items and getting very friendly with my sewing machine and hot glue gun. Thanks to fearless sisters' encouragement, I too have become less fearful with "whipping" up a costume.
Lily is having a Fairy Tale ball at school and initially wanted to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I tried to talk her into being Grumpy from Snow White, surprisingly she declined. When I decided to go look for fabric, there was not a yellow fabric in sight that would work...then we found a pink prom dress.
me: Hey Lily, how do you feel about pink?
Lily: Oh yeah, I like it. There's a pink princess I'm sure.
me: Excellent. Off to work we go.
This is what we started with;
Best curtsy.
Looking like a princess.

YOU TOTALLY ROCK! Best mom ever award! I was telling someone at school that after my kids are gone I'm going to Broadway and getting a job as a costume sewer. Totally cute kid you got there!
Wow. Wow. Wow. That's got to be one of the most darling princesses ever.
I agree with Sherri... You are the best Mom ever!
It's easy to create a princess when you start with a little girl that looks like that ;)The dress is dramatically darling-you do rock!
