A couple of months ago Drew & Brinley were told not to come to school. It wasn’t a holiday, snow day, bad behavior or sickness. What could it be? It was the cold. It was so cold outside that school was cancelled for two days!
Now, we’re not going to sit around and watch movies all day, right? Of course not! We’re going to make our own custom-fitted jammies, caramel popcorn and then watch movies all day…right!
“All day” is a relative term, of course. You’ll notice that bed-head of Drew’s suggests that “someone” might have turned off their alarm clocks in the interest of more sleep…
Ah! The reveal! Are you sure those pants are environmentally friendly?
The work is almost finished. Give us a preview Brinley!
Elastic waistbands, buttoned up shirts, high waistlines…feels like a fashion show for old people. Comfy! But I’m not too sure how snow boots fit into the style…
But the models seem confident that this look is hot!
Now while we’re all impressed, this post has to take a detour in time for a moment…Almost a year ago Drew & Brinley decided they weren’t going to let Mommy be the only one in the house who could make a quilt. So they picked out some fabric and got to work…
These little quilts aren’t just for looks; the fleece underside keeps them warm on days when…well, on cold days when school is closed!
Hold on, we’re not quite finished with our wrinkle in time yet. The quilts have been used for months now, but Drew & Brinley wanted to proudly display their finished masterpieces before continuing. It just so happens that this day was Crazy Hair Day at school, hence the upside-down punk-piggies…
…and the super-wave-dave faux hawk. Sweet homemade blanket, dude! Ok, back to the story…
At last, the premiere of a movie they’ve seen 20 times before finally arrived. Were they still excited? Yes. But that was because they got to eat caramel popcorn in the living room on their own quilts and watch the movie at the same time!
Eleanor was pretty excited to be able to chill like the big kids with her very own bowl to snarf.
The animated feature droned on, and Eleanor’s attention wavered. She was out of popcorn! How to solve this dilemma? Find the biggest bowl of them all. Hey! That’s my popcorn!
The problem with this was that the popcorn in her bowl was hand-picked for baby-sized mouths. Drew, do the Heimlich! Bleh!
i want a day like that! jammies, movies, popcorn… Not sure anyone would be with me if I had bed hair tho! I am so impressed that the kids can sew. and that their mama wants to teach them.
Love the blankets and the popcorn sounds sooo yummy… especially right now 🙂 Cute cute pictures! And Yeah we get to hang out this summer and hopefully more then once!! 🙂
