School Disco

Friday night the girls have their first school "disco." Haley immediately began practicing her finger-in-the-air John Travolta-esque moves. I assured her that the term "disco" just means dance, in this case, and there would be no mirrored globes hanging from the ceiling or platform shoes. In fact, it is a winter-themed dance with a prize for best winter costume.

(Those of you back in the states will undoubtedly enjoy letting us know that it was 92 degrees there yesterday and that you had a lovely soak in the pool at my house that is sitting there empty, just dying for a barbecue pool party. Save it. Enduring winter number two with no break for spring, much less summer, has me seasonally-affected and thus, not in the mood. Enjoy the pool. I hope you get a horrible sunburn that peels for days.)

Back to the winter-themed dance. I need to come up with two simple, but clever outfits for the girls to wear, so I thought I would turn to you, our readers, for help. The costumes must be comfortable, original, easy to construct, and above all, CHEAP. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for your help! And no peeing in my pool!
