Ok, I know I am a book geek, even so that reaction could be a little exaggerated. But I love it; a day dedicated to books and kids and all things booky fun. I have be green with envy for the last few years; dressing the girls up as their favourite book characters and dropping them off at school or nursery with staff dressed as their favourite characters. I would sulk off to work to be grumpy until home time because I couldn't join in the fun.
This year is different, this year there has been 3 costumes to organise and I am even more excited because the theme at work and school is fairy tales. Could life get more perfect? (well actually yes it could....such a fabulous topic has way too many choices it took me ages to pick one!!)
The red cape is complete (made from a fleece jumper and bloomin good, if I do say so myself!). Gretel has stones in her pocket and Cinders has her rags ready. I just wonder if her Fairy Godmother will show up and turn her into a princess before the day is done?
So Happy World Book Day everyone. What story you will be sharing today?
Oh and to continue the 'keep smiling' fun this week, lets have a little bit of The Hip Hop Librarians
That video was...? Awesome. Inspiring. Chuckles-galore. Even got a few tears out of me, which just means that it was extra good (anything 'good' at this point brings me to tears -- stories, satisfied cravings, my boys, dancing librarians apparently)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. And do we get to see pictures of your costumes?
I am glad you like the video, tears are ok...right?!? Happy tears??
DeleteAnd yes the picture is on Facebook or tomorrow's post...be warned other half was in charge of the camera so the fact you can only see half of us....you get the picture ;-)
Yeah I agree with Deb above - lets see the photos. Jake didn't get to dress up but he did get to wear colourful clothes and take his favourite book in which was his encyclopedia! On a happy note though he won the best decorated Elmer elephant competition : )
ReplyDelete:-O No dressing up on World Book Day....It's almost a law!
DeleteAlso bonus when I got home Little Red Riding Hood won in her class at school for best dressed :-) (well done to Jake!)
Love the video. Our town has a hot air balloon festival every July and our town librarians due a book cart drill team for the Balloon Rally parade that kicks off the festival. It's adorable. If I didn't already love our librarians, that would push me over the edge. :)
ReplyDeleteLibrarians rock ;-) I love the fact the expect you to release your creativity and insanity on a daily basis! I love my job.
