Costume Fun-ness!

My Calendar’s Image this Month

Goodness, gracious; I love costume day!

I pushed through a stuffed-up head (Are you surprised?) to go to modern today, and I am so glad that I did! Today was– officially– “Costume Day,” one of my favorite days of the entire year. First off, Miss Sara gave us her yearly “shpeel.” I have this lecture memorized (but Abby is much better at the facial expressions). Basically, we are not aloud to touch, breathe on or even look at our costumes once we take them home; they have to go in the very back of our closets. After recital, however, my teacher couldn’t care less if we attach our tutus to the bumpers of our cars and drive down the highway at 80 miles per hour…

Anyway, after The Shpeel, we tried on our red, sparkly shirts. Most of us will have to take the straps in a bit but other than that, they are perfect! I love the color, the style, THE SPARKLES… everything!

After a huge dance clean-up, class was over. Miss Sara gave me my ballet costume on my way out, which I tried on when I got home. I LOVE it. It is absolutely beautiful– may-be my favorite costume of all time.

My mom and I have the timely job of costume-fixing this weekend. My tutu must be steamed, my blue leotard must be sewn (it’s falling apart at the seams), my sparkly shirt has to be taken in and some changes must be made to my black pants…!
