This week is "Go Texan" week in honor of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. For those of you family reading this that aren't from Texas, you wouldn't understand. We basically are our own country and have "days" in honor of ourselves...makes me giggle. But, being a good sport, Liam is participating in Go Texan Day at school on Friday. They have a chili cook-off, rodeo, costume contest, etc. So they are to be in their best "duds" on Friday. Great...we have nothing cowboy-ish in his closet. So we go out together on a shopping "date" this morning in search of Liam's cowboy gear. He states he is in search of cowboy boots (eek) and I claim the red and blue bandanna search. We went to our favorite stomping ground, Hobby Lobby (Liam calls it Hob Lobby? literally with the question inflection tone in his voice every time...too cute) We found no boots (I didn't have the heart to tell him they didn't sell shoes at Hob Lobby?) But we did find bandannas for 88 cents and plain white tees for just $2! In my mind I'm thinking, he needs something he can wear again so this isn't a complete waste of money so I decide to take the plain white tee and sew (gasp!) a red bandanna pocket on the chest. I know I know, I'm in deep at this point. I've guaranteed a red bandanna pocket to my son by the time he gets home today. Sigh -
After many practice runs just sewing on my practice material as warm up, I managed to sew, say it with me, AN ACTUAL WORKING POCKET, on Liam's shirt!!! Picture proof too!!! I'm so proud, and I hope that it passes Liam's inspection tonight upon his arrival home. So we now have our shirt, wearing jeans with a blue bandanna in the back pocket, and his converse all-stars I'm sure :)
