What utterly awesome outfits, I know so many parents who struggle with this concept. First thing that came to mind was Puff the Magic Dragon, for a suggestion.
Oh nelly, you always put the best costumes together for the kids-they're all great but my favourite is miss 10 as nanny mcphee! priceless! I loved the movie, haven't read the book but ill keep an eyeout for it for you!
Happy Spring!!!

wow 10 people in the house, I don't know how you do it! No FOF for me tomorrow, just got home from having 4 teeth out so I'll be football face, LOL. Looking forward to seeing what you'll wear.xx.
Oh my don't you make the freakin best costumes known to Austrailia!
-That Rainbow brite costume is just the sweetest freaking thing. I used to carry around my Rainbow Brite doll everywhere. I actually have a Patty O'green doll next to me... *shhh* don't tell. HAHAHA
-I just figured Peter pan was missing his teeth cause he got in a fight with Captian Hook! Great Costume!
-Miss 8 makes a very convincing Jasmine. And this costume is just as great as the others. I love her hair!
-Nanny Mcfee!! Using a fake nail as a tooth is a wonderous idea I would have never thought of. I would have used a chiclet and ended up eating halfway through. *heheh* The hat looks amazing nelly it really does look just like the character.
I have always wanted to be pocahontas and walk around with a racoon stuffed toy. lol
They are all fantastic! My fave is Nanny McPhee - that costume is just brilliant.
