Dress Up Day

Yesterday was Dress up Day at our school. Judging by the comments of the camera-toting parents, it is a day we patrons both enjoy & stress over. In our household, the scholars simply can't make up their mind what they want to be until the last minute -when it's too late to assemble any sort of spectacular costume. We have some rather creative people so it's fun to see what everyone comes up with. I was not able to be there for the group photos, so here are a few snapshots from the morning.

Can you guess who these people represent? (Answers at the end.)




Photo 1- A. as a poor person. I should have taken a close-up so you could see the carefully applied cocoa "dirt". 
Photo 2- JS as James Harriott. He had a syringe & med bottles, which he labeled with drug names from the books... note his calf-pulling rope... a Yorkshire accent was part of his persona.  
Photo 3- M, the niece, as Amelia Bedelia. Love it!
Photo 4- these folks stole the show! They are the 4 Little Women & Marmie (A's teacher) along with their carriage driver & surrey. I'm told their costumes are rented from the local theater- I had no idea that could be done!
