Resizing Brooke’s School Shirt

One the first day of school Brooke’s teacher gave me a shirt saying it was her school shirt that she had to wear on field trips and she could wear it whenever she wanted as well.  The shirt was a child’s medium and honestly probably would be big on my neighbor’s 11 year old.  Brooke is INCREDIBLY picky with her clothes and only has a few shirts/short/dresses that she wears ad nauseam.  She is very particular about new articles in her wardrobe as well.  So I knew getting her to wear this tent of a shirt was going to be a crying meltdown struggle every time she ‘had to’ wear it to school.  I took my moderate sewing skills and went about adjusting the shirt so it would fit her properly.  She happily wore the shirt around the house after I was done.  I think I did not to shabby of a job for my first time resizing a shirt.

Rainy Day Fun

We had another day of rain and very cranky children so we decided to try this trick.

Beach Day in September

The weather is perfect for a sandy beach day.  Mild but not too chilly yet, sunny but not hot.  Perfect weather for sand castle building, ocean toe dipping, walking/running on the boardwalk, looking at the shops, and playing on the beach swing set.  We worked up an appetite so we went to Five Guys afterwards.
