1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Pilgrims...

Ok. So I might have gotten a little out of control with the pilgrim thing. It started with Reese asking if I would make paper hats for the kids to wear on thanksgiving. I started to make paper bonnets (you know, like the one you wore at your first grade Thanksgiving feast?) but thought, "Huh. I could sew this pretty easily...."


And 30 minutes later I had cut out half a dozen bonnets and aprons from an old white sheet. I figured, as long as I am making two...might as well make enough for my preschool class, right?


Right.
But what about the boys? That's when the collars and vests started. I might have also made an Indian dress and 3 Indian vests. And bought a hat. And glued a "buckle" to the hat. And sewed that skirt for Reese. And made 4 collars and another shawl. And a bonnet and apron for myself....

I'm sure I am eating crow for the comments I made about tacky photgraphy a few days ago. I mean, look at us holding hands and running and everything...

But come on.

I think the result of my little sewing afternoon and photo shoot with kiddies speaks for itself.

I mean, really. shut. up. How cute are they?!

I reserve the right to brag. I'm also willing to admit that I love my kids even more with bonnets and buckles on.

I'm dying over Q's face, here. That one is a girl of a million looks.

I can't wait to add a few of these to our fall holiday photo collage.

Cheesy and shameless, yes, but I don't care. I love my little pilgrims.

Especially since they're more like this most of the time:
