staying up PRACTICALLY ALL NIGHT to get a costume ready for Kit to wear yesterday. It was World Book Day, and the Junior School had decided that Villainy was the order of the day. Kit made an exotic choice - Captain Thunderbolt Vulpoon from the Edge Chronicles. Exotic! Pantaloons, cummerbund, great key ring, cutlass, lacy cuffs, buttoned and braided jacket and a tricorn hat with a giant feather in it. Oh, and a moustache and eyebrows, but those were easy. Luckily, Ma's cupboards provided rich pickings, and all I had to get were black craft paper and paint. But all that cutting, stitching, sticking and splodging took up far longer than I thought. Let this be a lesson to me!
So of course I had to take a picture before he left. As soon as Kit had gone (he got a green card for his costume! Hooray for me!) Sid and Beri decided that they were now Mr and Mrs Valentine (remember the biscuits?), hit the floor, and demanded I take a picture of them too.
Off to Jane and Ian's to celebrate Ian and Jeremy's birthdays. The children are very excited about going to bed in the car.
