Costume Preview

Our Girl Scout Fall Party is always a good time to do a trial-run on costumes. I get to see what works and what doesn't and the kids get to wear their costumes more than once. This year we have an interesting cast of characters.

Avery will be going as "Spa Girl" this year. Her costume will serve dual purpose. Once as a costume and as a robe as long as it fits her. Thanks to Kohl's, I got this robe for a steal at 60% off regular price!
Brenna will be, you guessed it, Little Red Riding Hood. I think this suits her nicely. When we went to purchase Avery's robe, we browsed around the clothes and came upon this lovely red coat, with a hood! This beauty was 50% off and also will serve more than one purpose. I'm lovin' it!!

Cooper rounds out our cast as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Rafael to be exact. My hero in a half shell......turtle power!!!
Avery won "Funniest Costume" this year. She was very excited. She has actually been winning quite a few awards through Girl Scouts. When they had their last camp out at the Houston Zoo, she got a buddy award for being a good buddy, her tent won best (quietest) tent, and she was the only one to receive an award for going the extra mile to be a good "sister" scout. We are so very proud of her and her accomplishments through Girl Scouts. I have seen her become more confident over the 3 years she has been in scouts.
