Patches, Patches, and more Patches

My little girl Ashlee is a BUNDLE of energy!! She is almost always going, going, going. If we go to the park she plays very hard and loves to run, jump, swing, and slide. I love that she is so active and it is so funny because my mom says that I was exactly like that as a child. The first picture is Ashlee with a fat lip obtained at the aforementioned park. (She fell onto the metal part after the ladder)


Well all of this activity is extremely hard on her clothes. The other day I was looking through her clothes trying to find a pair of jeans when I realized that every single pair of jeans had a huge hole in the knee. Counting the months I thought that these jeans need to last only a few more months maybe weeks so what can I do????? Well like a good SOHM I went to Micheal's and bought some iron on patches and went to work. I think they turned out really cute for a first try.

(BEFORE)
(AFTER)Maybe it is just me, but I think they are just as cute as the pair I bought at Old Navy last year!!!

You need to find a crown patch. She'd never fall on her knee again!

They did turn out cute, I will have to remember that the next time Brielle gets a hole in her pants. My mom used to patch my pants all the time when I was little, but they were little homemade hearts or stars. I like the flowers much better.

Very creative. I love them. Enjoy the active days. Christian was the same way until now. Now, I have a hard time just getting him off of his video games and tv to go outside for a few minutes. Yesterday, he came back in after only 30 minutes and asked me if it was enough. HA. Like going outside is a punishment. What a mean mom I am.
