The Book Bonanza

Last friday was so fun. It was the "Book Bonanza" at school. Everyone (including the teachers) wore costumes from a favorite book. Lots of people dressed up so they were from the same book as a friend. There were kindergartners dressed up like frog and toad, kids of all ages dressed like Harry Potter characters, and many others, some quite fancy, but I think our costumes were best. By "our", I mean Sophie, Allie, and I. We dressed up like the Three Musketeers! We wore baggy pants that we tucked into our boots, loose wide-sleeved blouses (our mom's), and sashes. We made blue smocks, each with a white fleur-de-lis on the front. We also wore big floppy hats, and used eyebrow pencil to draw on mustaches. We even spoke in french accents. Too bad we weren't able to bring our swords. Anyway, it was fun.
