maximum as 'mr. gum' and z as 'snufkin' for book week fancy dress day.

yet again people seemed to miss the point of BOOK week.

the level of detail on these costumes is quite splendid: the crown of bleached chicken bones on mr gum is a nice touch and the felt hat for snufkin (from the oktoberfest beer festival 2004) is pretty perfect for snufkin too.
(big props for the props: mrs.perou)
despite this, a kid with a costume bought from a supermarket won the fancy dress competition.
not quite sure what that teaches children about creativity and how it's rewarded?

 
despite their love of fancy dress, both sons have been fighting constantly today.
making it unpleasant to be home.

 

ludwig caught ANOTHER mixi-rabbit which he was carrying around (still alive) by the back foot, in his mouth with little teeth.

had to clump the dog round the ear and shoot the rabbit.
