Daisy and J-Man go to a public Montessori school where they have to wear uniforms. Which is really great for the morning routine... no arguements because they already know what they need to wear. I have also been able to get most of their clothes from Goodwill, so I haven't had to spend a ton of money to get them.
When we signed them up, they told us that kindergarten and 2nd grade wouldn't have to wear gym uniforms. Last Friday they sent a note home to the parents saying that they needed gym uniforms afterall. I went back to Goodwill sure I'd be able to find what I needed. Guess what I found?! NOTHING! Not a single thing! So I went to Wal-Mart and got some cheap t-shirts that were the right color/style, but they didn't have any pants. I also looked at Kohl's, Target, and Meijer. NOTHING!
Oh shoot! Now what? In desperation I headed back to Goodwill. I looked in the women's section and found 2 pairs of athletic pants that were the right colors (Hunter Green and Maroon) for less than $5 each. Then I headed home and set to work with a pair of scissors and my serger. About an hour later I had a new pair of gym pants. :)
I really love it when what I see in my head and what I actually end up with are the same thing!
