madeline's class had a dress up day today, they have been learning about the olden days as part of their society and environment classes (what we used to call social studies) and as part of it they asked the kids to dress up as though they are 100 years old. it was so freaking funny!
we added talcum powder in her hair to make it look white and put it in a granny bun, and she insisted that she needed to wear a sleep mask on her head "so i can be ready for a nap at any time."oh i feel you maddie!
her outfit consisted of a checkered dress, fur coat, white stockings and slippers, a pearl necklace, big glasses, a walking stick and a handbag full of "old lady things", a cat and her knitting. hahahaha! and the finishing touch? lipstick on her teeth. she asked me why she needed that and i said, ""just trust me maddie! sure enough, we got to school and when she grinned at her teacher, she just lost it laughing and said, "oh maddie, that's the best! lipstick on your teeth!" to which maddie turned around and mouthed thank you to me.
there was so many amazing outfits, some of the mums had drawn wrinkles on, someone had their hair in rollers, someone had a beehive hairdo. it was classic.
let's just hope she's still this cool when she reaches 100 years old!
