Carnival at the Creche

This week the creche celebrated Carnival. Carnival is a predominately catholic celebration in the time before lent. Here in the Netherlands it is heavily celebrated in the south of the country, and not at all up here in The Hague. The creche, however, sees an opportunity to have some fun and thus participates. One of the aspects of carnival is dressing up. This week we were told the children could come to school in costume. So Liz went out and bought Evie a pretty princess dress. HOWEVER, little miss Evie had her own idea of what type of costume she wanted. It had to be Spiderman. So after calling all the toy stores in the hague area we tracked down a spiderman costume to make her wish come true.
Our Spider-Evie


Thursday night we called Uncle Thijs on the phone and captured this picture of Evie blabbing away. She looks so grown up!!!

Evie went to the creche Friday with her Spiderman outfit on but took it off soon after. So much for **needing** a spiderman outfit. Here she is with some of her classmates. By the end of the day she had some lion facepaint. Sorry about all the crazy eyes... there's something wrong with the camera I think.

I expected to see Evie in her pirate costume at the Carnival. Or was that before she decided she HAD to be Spider-Evie?

I think Liz takes after her mother when it comes to caving to her childrens' "needs!"

I think that makes her a good mommy!
