Brooke’s New Skirts

I decided to make some skirts for Brooke as I make all her under dress/skirt shorts out of old leggings (I’ve cut all Alex’s pants that don’t fit into shorts too).  All the skirts for her size are inappropriately short for her so I decided to make her some custom ones.  I started with scrap silver fabric that I had from an old halloween costume.  Then I made a blue one out of some fabric I had.  I took one of her dresses that was too short, cut off the top, and make a skirt from it.  Then Brooke and I went on a shopping trip to the fabric store and she picked out three fabrics for skirts: a bunny fabric, flower fabric, and butterfly fabric.  She now has 6 new custom skirts and she loves wearing them.

Family Bowling

On a chilly day, too cold to go outside, everyone was getting antsy so we decided to try family bowling.  Brooke had a great time!  Mommy and Daddy would have had a great time if Alex was not running wild around the bowling alley (and nearly getting clocked in the head) because he didn’t understand he had to wait his turn.  We decided as a family to wait until he is four to try bowling again but at least we got some fun pictures!
