My first idea was to be an alevin for school. Let me guess, you just said "A what?" That is the exact reason I decided not to be an alevin. (By the way, it is what a baby salmon is called right after it hatches from its egg. It is a big, bright orange yolk sac attached to its tummy. I thought I could pull that off.)
My idea for Scott and me was to be a Christmas present and a Christmas tree. I would wrap a bow around my tummy with a tag that said "No Peeking" or something like that. We'd cut out a cardboard tree and cover it with fleece and make Scott a tree topper to put on his head. I thought that would be kind of fun since our little girl is due kind of close to Christmas.
Our 4/5 teachers at school finally decided my costume. We started out going with a barnyard theme but that soon morphed into being characters from Charlotte's Web. We had a Fern, Charlotte, Templeton, a Web with Charlotte's babies, and we had me, Wilbur. Yup, I was the piggy. :)
(Insert here a picture of all the 4/5 teachers. I have to get a copy from someone at school.)
Being a pig at school actually ended up working out well because Scott and I could easily work that into a theme for our "Trunk or Treat." We got him a flannel shirt and some overalls. Voila! We had a farmer and his pig(s). I went looking in my bag of stuffed animals for farm animals and could only find pigs. Surprising? Not really, but what kind of farm only has pigs? A PIG FARM! ha ha. Well that's what we went with. The back of our jeep ended up being a little pig farm.
