Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen.....

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only Mum who struggles a

bit with everything that drifts out of Wills book bag each day. First there's the reading books and then reminders about milk money, library books, raffle tickets, party invites, watch out for head lice, honestly he has more post than I do! About a week ago a form came back saying that the children should dress up as a character from a nursery rhyme or traditional tale on the last Thursday of term. I must admit I swore a bit when I saw the reminder up on the chalk board last Wednesday...giving me 24 hours to come up with the requested Robin Hood outfit. I had a look at home and found the shorts, top, and brown tights (Annas) and a trip to the charity shops yielded the wrap over shirt. I just had to wait him to come home from a friends house to help me make the hat. I got the pattern from a google search and it was brilliantly easy. Will wanted to make a feather next and we raided my brown box. Will worked the foot pedal and I'm really quite pleased with what we made. I think he looks ace, the only worrying thing is just how much he loved wearing the tights!
