"In character"...
The original Chester Alan Arthur
Leif dressed as Chester Alan Arhur, the 21st President of the United States, for his president's report at school today. So cute! He was "in chracter" for most of the pics. I couldn't find any fake facial hair at the store, and wasn't going to drop a pretty penny on a pocket watch so...paper it is! ha! I made his pocket watch and facial hair... the mutton chops really make it don't ya think ;-) I noticed that his muttons and brows kept coming unstuck while taking pics, so we had to reinforce them with half a roll of double-sided tape. It's going to be such fun pealing that off later... Ouch! I think it turned out really cute though. I completely forgot about his scarf. Oh well. He is being interviewed as if he is President Arthur.
