They say a woman’s work is never done and this last week I would have had to agree. It seemed like I was never going to get these costumes finished in time for the local Gala Day Parade…I spent every night sewing and I still wasn’t really finished come Saturday morning…luckily the kids weren’t too bothered about the finish.

The wizard could be played by Jay-Z and Brittany Spears would be the wicked witch of the East. The rest of the rolls are up for grabs.
