Wordless Wednesday~ Katniss

For those who aren't familiar with The Hunger Games. (photo source- squidoo.com)

Parents, show of hands. Who's kids still haven't decided what they want to be for Halloween? Allison has already changed her mind 500 times, and I suspect it will get changed 500 more before the big day. I'm sooo tired of the princess costumes my girls pick year after year, so I've been trying to get her to pick a more kick ass female costume, like the Katniss one she put together for her sisters celebrity birthday party a few months back. What's better than a home made costume? Especially one that only cost $7 to put together, all thanks to Goodwill! Who am I kidding? I'd pay whatever it takes for her to NOT chose a princess again this year!

Team Gale

Allison has a small obsession with The Hunger Games. She hasn't read the books, but she has seen the first movie quite a few times. She received a Barbie sized Katniss doll for Christmas. Unfortunately they don't make the other characters in the large size, so she has kind of had to improvise with her other dolls.

"Which of my boy dolls looks most like Peeta?" she asked the other day.

I pointed out one and she seemed pretty pleased to have a Peeta look alike to play with. I figured she must be smitten with Peeta. That is until I came in the kitchen and saw her dolls set up like this:

I guess she's Team Gale.
