This was me yesterday too! Son went to his Dad's yesterday and I was going off to do late night shopping for a pair of bleedin' Y-fronts for a Captain Underpants costume. THEN I read Soph's reply! THEN I called son to see if he'd brought home a letter and yes, it's next week.
He'd have needed long term counselling if I'd sent him to school in Y-fronts and a red cape today!!!!
:rotfl:
Thanks to Soph's post she has save a lot of kids from counselling :T
I was on the phone to school at 8am, and they confirmmed it was next week :rolleyes:

Jillybobs, I think there is an Elvis impersonator in one of the Rainbow Magic books - The Rock n' Roll Fairy, I think (my youngest DD was obsessed with those books last year!).
My other DD aged 11 is going as a Bindi Babe (characters from one of her favourite books) which basically just means wearing her funkiest clothes and sticking a bindi on her forehead. Cost - 50p for a packet of gorgeous sparkly bindis from the local market - and she paid, so no outlay for me!0 -
Hey, seems to me like you lot have it easy! On our dressup day, not only does ds have to go as a book character, but it has to be from the In and around the sea theme! Help anyone?? Was Pippi Longstocking a character from on the sea or is that just one of the books I read??
When my son did it he went as Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs, blue jeans, red jumper and a bucket of dinos! Easy!0 -

NOt only does my dd have to go dressed "in character", but she also has to do a "book on a plate" where they have to represent a book they've read on a paper plate, preferably in 3d and they've not to use any words!!!
Needless to say I'm going to have a busy weekend!0 -

She's dressing up as little red riding hood, which means I need to do a bit of sewing, but that's ok, and the book on a plate she's doing "jack and the beanstalk" which should be ok-I have lots of green paper!:rotfl:0
