Virginia Children’s Festival

This year we all went to the Children’s Festival at Town Point Park and had fun playing with all the child friendly events and the kids got to dance to Steve Songs.

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.
