Summer camps love to do costume days on Fridays. Not being a big costume person, I usually let them slip by, and usually the big kids don't seem all that interested anyway. But this week, it is "dress like a farmer" day which inexplicably motivated Ella to come up with a costume. To her dismay, her current wardrobe includes neither a red plaid shirt nor overalls (the two pieces of clothing she determined are farmer-ish). So she got creative with what she had by calling a red shirt "plaid enough" and a blue striped running dress "close enough to overalls" (and undoubtedly more comfortable in North Carolina July heat than denim anyway). Paired with a sun hat I bought her when she was 3 that she has pretty much refused to wear since, she was ready for farmer day at camp. Love her creativity (and independence!).
