Yesterday Mendel went to ballet dressed up for Carnival, and after that we went to a carnival party at the boarding school that belongs to the school that the kids go to.
Elias wanted to be a clown, staying in character after telling jokes at the talent show two weeks ago.
Mendel wanted to be a princess, but since 90% of the girls are princesses, I convinced her to be "Pipi Langkous" instead. Pipi langkous is a girl from a Swedish movie that was very popular when I was young. While in the States we used to play these movies as well, so she knows her.
Everywhere she went, she got recognized as Pipi Langkous (especially by the moms), so in the end she was very happy with her costume.

We (the moms) decided it would be fun to dress up as well, all the same, and we ended up wearing bright colored overalls. As if that wasn't enough, some of us used some face painting.
The top picture is the end result.
