I like matching.
The little boys were adorable at Church in their red polka-dotted bow ties.
Max had two back-to-back MSB concerts Sunday, so he was in uniform.
Stewart, John, and Sam wore these leopard print ones (I made from the cut off bottom of one of Great Gma Billie's silky robes that I hemmed for her. This is my preferred method of recycling-fabric to new uses!).
I don't know if this was Suzu, Max, or Roxie's photo of us-they all took turns.
The over-the-knee leopard socks are recycled from Roxie's too small tights-very comfy and warm and I was surprised they fit so well (without the pantie part of the tights). We went through all her too tight TIGHTS drawer and I cut them up, and put elastic at the top for her over-the-knee socks, no elastic needed for the ones I claimed. They have gone through the wash twice without falling apart-tight weave on those tights?

Ahh you're wonderful! Olivia needs some new socks and now we have some that just need elastic. Thanks.
Very fun matching!
Our ward was smaller than normal - at least 1/2 out of town. But of the half still in town- >50% were definitely decked in red, pink, or fuschia.
I love the pic. One of my favorites for sure. And I am in awe of the recycling genius. I would not have thought of that in a million million years.
I don't think I would have ever thought of recycling tights in this way. They must be very tightly woven tights because I would have thought they would have gotten a run in them by being cut or (in Roxie's socks case) when the elastic was put in. Too bad we are totally out of the tights stage because one daughter is in the knee-hi stage.
