Hallowe'en

Today Linus's nursery was very hallowe'eny. The children were invited to come in fancy dress, as mentioned before. I had been working hard all week on Linus's blue dinosaur outfit and it turned out really rather well for a first attempt, and considering I sewed it all by hand!

I was a bit scared that he would refuse to wear it when it came to it, as he had been quite reluctant to try it on for fittings. But no, he couldn't wait. He went into his nursery hallowe'en dungeon with a big RAAAAHHHH at everyone. There were 5 witches, 4 skeletons and 1 dracula when we got there, and only 1 blue dinosaur! so we definitely get points for creativity and originality I think. I am assured that no other children were eaten/maimed whilst playing with the dinosaur.

When I picked him up after lunch he was still wearing the outfit, much to my surprise. One of the staff asked me if I had made his costume as he had been telling everyone who would listen that I had :) Good Boy! His tail was a bit bedraggled from dragging on the floor in the playground, but rather than take it off he had just played whilst holding onto the tail to stop it getting any wetter/dirtier, bless him.

Anyway, here he is in all his blue dinosaury glory:
