Today at school is Character Day. All of the kids dressed up like their favorite book character and brought their books to school. . . some are fully costumed others just have props. It is a fun way to try and pound the idea into their heads that ALL stories have characters.
I think I make a pretty good Fancy Nancy. Thanks to Target, who made this costume possible. Seriously, I think I am going to start shopping in the children's section more often. I got these fabulous leggings with hearts all over them for less than 5 dollars. . . you can't really beat that. Plus, I can hardly wait to see what uses I can find for them in the future (not to mention the fact that it feels great to 'fit' into little girl clothes). These items are going to make a great addition to the dress up box. I already had the fancy lace shirt and gobs of jewelry so being facny wasn't all that hard for me. 
The book Fancy Nancy is all about a little girl who loves being fancy and tries to teach her family how to be fancy. It became apparent to me that maybe I should read my kids a more diverse range of stories. . . since 2 other little girls showed up as Fancy Nancy. That's okay, maybe they just like being fancy like me! 
Here are the pictures of all of the kids this year for Character Day.
All the kids all looked darling and were pretty creative. It is fun to see who they pick up to dress like. I don't know if the idea that we find characters in every book we read really sank in through my lessons this week, but we have got the rest of the day and all of "inside recess" to deal with that.

You are a fabulous Fancy Nancy, hooray for Target! I also love the Lilly and all the Annie's, Lydia would think that is so cool, I'll have to show her, but then we might have to work out a costume. Hmm...
