Let the kids choose -- she'd make a fine ANYTHING. (she IS a fine *everything*)

I just think the warhorse idea is cool.

Aslan, and have the kiddos as Narnia characters?

Falcor? (and Neverending Story characters)

Have to say, before I finished reading your post, a lion popped into my head. Doesn't have to be the Wizard of Oz, tho. You could go with a circus theme- Cleo as a lion, one of the kids could be a lion tamer and the other a clown. Gee, now that my creative juices are going- Cleo could be a clown. I have a real simple clown costume I could tell you how to "make" if you want.

I think Cleo would make a very cute lion =)

This is more fun for a wolfy dog, but Cleo would be cute too. When I was little, I dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood, with my aunt's husky as the wolf in "grandma's" clothes (a muu-muu, bonnet-type hat, and glasses). It was a lot of fun.

I too love the idea of a warhorse but I think she would make a much better lion!!!

Oooo! I like Kate's idea of Aslan!

I think Falcor looks like an Irish Wolfhound though...well, except he's pink.

What about dressing her as that polar bear from The Golden Compass, and your daughter as Lyra? She can swing a golden "compass", and you could even add a stuffed animal to her pocket to look like her little pet thing, Pan... I guess they called them their daemons... Your son could be Lyra's friend with his own daemon/pet.

I GOT IT! Lily is watching Beauty and the Beast...she will be Belle and Cleo will be that big, hairy..golden brown...BEAST! Easy costume too...horns and a nice red cape so it shouldn't bother her that much. I think they will look ADORABLE together...wheee!
