LOL, I've been bugging DS about what he wants to be because I usually start in August! The year he was a hovercraft racer we started in July. Can't wait to see!

Sounds fun! DS always keeps his costumes for roll playing. He hasn't done it so much in a while since he's turned 9 but every now and then I have lunch with Indiana Jones or Captain Jack Sparrow!

When the kids were small they were in 4-H. One of their favorite classes at the horse shows was Costume Class. Imagine how fun it is to dress up your pony AND yourself!
At one of these shows I helped my sister dress up a 1300 pound horse as a "little lamb" complete with black stockings on his legs, black face mask we made from double knit and a wooly coat with about 15 bags of cotton balls glued to it! His little "Mary" was a tiny little blonde girl that her mom dressed to the nines in lace and ruffles with a big shepherds staff. That costume even placed at the State Fair.

My sis does.
We have pics of some of the other costumes, but unfortunately it was in the WAY back days ... before digital cameras.

Another costume that we did was a "Fisher Girl". My D2 wore a life jacket cut offs and a big straw hat. She carried a bamboo pole and a stringer of "fish". We had the pony decked out in a straw hat, bobbers, rubber worms, a dip net and a bait bucket.
The reason that this costume stands out in my memory is that the pony spooked sideways and took off running wildly all around the fair grounds - one big loop then back to her trailer - when we first tied on the bait bucket.

I felt ick this morning, but went to dance, was a bit dizzy. Then I got to work and felt that pinchy pain of ovulation. Now I wanna puke and every muscle is cramped from feet to neck. So oops. That was not an egg. That was a cyst. Yech. That explains the fever feeling and shakiness... logged out with chicken broth til it settles.
