"New" Shirt

I have been reading alot of blogs recently that re-purpose clothes. They always turn out really cute, so I have started finding things to re-purpose. I made a dress for Harley out of one of Jeremiahs button up shirts that he has not worn in a while. It turned out really cute!



So I had a shirt I got last year when Mervyns was going out of business for 1.20. Great deal, the only problem was it was tight is the sleeves. It was a long sleeve shirt and around the elbow it was too tight. But I bought it thinking I was going to shorten the sleeves or something. Well, 1 year later I finally did! I think it looks good. I even put a pleat in the sleeve to give it a little more detail. What do you think??? Don't worry, the sleeves aren't 2 lengths, its just the way its hanging on the window seal.!!!

Lowes

Lowes has a really neat program for kids on saturdays where they can go in and build something for free. Today me and the girls went there and build a drum for each of them. They had so much fun hammering and wearing their aprons. It was really fun. I only had my fingers hammered 3 times. Not bad for our first try at it. So here is a picture of the drum Mylie made. Harley's is the same, now they are going to paint them!

Firsts

August 24th was Harley's first day of 1st grade. Needless to say, she is getting big and growing so fast. I can't believe she is in 1st grade and going to turn 7 in a few months. She was so super excited to go to school. Me not so much. She will be in school all day long. I miss having her home, but I know that she would much rather be at school with her friends then have to hang out with mom all day. Now just need to find things for me and Mylie to do!!!

Jer and Harley before school!

Me and Harley, she is sooo big!

Harley's brand new school. They are still waiting
on carpet and things for the new school. It is amazing
though. The nicest elementary school I have ever seen.

Waiting in line to have her teacher walk them in.

After school, she made it!

2 days after school started Harley also had her first soccer game of the year. She loves playing soccer and is actually quite good, just to brag a little. It's a little more competitive then last year so she is really enjoying herself. She says she always wants to play soccer, but also be a cheerleader, so we will see when she gets older which one wins out. My vote is for soccer! And no they are not called Bees or anything associated, Wasps, Hornets, Yellowjackets. Their team is called the Lady Tigers. Tigers have stripes, maybe not yellow and black, but hey its more original then Bees!

Love their faces. They are waiting for the
other team to figure out who is kicking the ball first!

Amazing dribbling skills!

Mylie and I have just been hanging out, playing with friends and trying to decide on a color to paint the walls of our house. We have narrowed it down to 2, but there is one that I think looks better. I can take pictures, but I can't figure out how to decorate my house. We will probably figure it out just when Jer thinks we should move again, which he promised won't be till Harley is in Junior High, so you see how long it might take to get everything done! I'll keep you all posted on our progress.
