George Washington For The Day...







For the past couple weeks, Liliana has been working on a history project at school.  Most of the work had to be completed at school because the students had to take the information on their famous historical person and put it onto 20 slides.  When their day came, they had to dress as their famous person and do a 3 minute presentation to the class.  Liliana missed several days of school when sick with croup.  She had to go into school an hour early for a week straight before finally catching up to her class.  She worked so very hard on this project.  She doesn't ever seem to have an issue completing the work given to her.  However, the presentation to her class had her very stressed out.  For some strange reason, she wasn't too worried about what she would wear.  3 days before her presentation day, she began reminding me that she needed a costume!  Lucky for her, our house is full of craft supplies.  Lucky for her, she has a family full of creative minds.  Lucky for her, we whipped something up!  Her "hair" was made using a painter's cap and cotton coil, her collar was something I made using up some old white fabric which she wore over a plain white shirt, and her black "pants" were just long pants I cut and sewed elastic on the bottom worn over her white stockings with black boots.  Her costume was the most "homemade" of all her classmates.  Here she is cooperatively allowing me to snap a couple pictures!
