back to school in style

 

I used this pattern and made way too many of these skirts out of left over fabric from pervious projects.  I am not much of a clothing maker, I do love to sew but I always say I can only sew a straight line.  So when I do something you know anyone can do it.  I followed the pattern and it worked!!!  I added some covered button hair ties for a little girl’s matchy matchy complete outfit.  And let me tell you at 8 Ella is being so kind and saying she loves them and wants to wear one on the first day of school.  I scored a point here…

 

The Facts

 

The facts of having a large family (I really do not think it is large but most people do)… We buy 6 gallons of milk at a time (that is all we can fit in our fridge), they can eat 14 waffles at one sitting (the kids alone), I need to drink a ton of coffee to get thru the day (3 cups at a time),  I sometimes wake up the baby in the middle of the night just to get some alone time with him, you always have someone to play with, we now drive a 12 passenger van, having a girl to do nails with just makes my everyday, watching Quinn play football is the highlight of my week, every family has a clown (and by these photos you can clearly see who our family clown is), seeing curls on Davis makes me happy, out of all the library books we borrow we have only lost 1 (pretty good odds) and finally to share this life with Jerry has made every diaper change and vomit cleanup much much much more enjoyable.
