Ok, did anybody read my "Hey Yall, it's 2011!" post? Well one of my "to dos" was to be more crafty, and so I attempted to paint Lily Kate a shirt. Yes, it sounds crazy but I went to Wal Mart and got a plain white shirt ($3.50) and two bottles of puffy paint ($1.17 each). So for $5.84 I made/painted her a shirt! Tuesday night I cooked supper and Ninnie, Poppy, Mimi, Johnny Gramps, Uncle Phillip, Gage, Ella and Meg came to eat with us and Lily Kate wore her new shirt. These pics were not taken that night (that story later). What do you think???
Ok now for the other part of the story. This is actually the 2nd shirt I made. The first one I made didn't dry in time for Tuesday nights reveal... but Taylor wanted her to wear it anyway. So let me just tell you that when you put a wet-paint shirt on a 10 month old -- paint gets everywhere. It was ALL over her, in her hair, on her ears, on her arms and legs, just everywhere! Don't panic, it is non-toxic! It got all over me and my clothes, and our bedspread... what a mess! what a memory! Here is what the first shirt looked like afterwards:
So, another baby will be here early October! We are so excited, so shocked, so nervous, and most of all so blessed. Everything we have, EVERYTHING we have comes from the Lord. Thank you Lord for the blessing of Lily Kate, and for the blessing of this baby.
Taylor, Rebecca, Lily Kate, and baby
I saw the shirt and said to myself, "Why does it say 'Big Sister'? Lily Kate doesn't have a..." and then I laughed hysterically. Nice way to beak the news! I'm so, so, so happy for ya'll!

ReplyDeleteAw, congratulations!!!!! wonderful, wonderful news!
ReplyDeletewe tried the same method of breaking the news when we learned Jax would be a big brother. He wore the shirt and NO BODY looked twice at it. We told him to go show So-and-So his shirt, and he would, and they would say, yeah, that's cute or whatever. We began to panic because we thought they would never "get" it. But they did finally. Our family is just a little "slow" i guess. LOL. Great memories. Love the shirt idea. LK will be a great bigSis!
AHHH!!! Congratulations RBG and family!!! Amanda called me as soon as she saw Lily Kate's pic! Our family is tickled pink (or maybe blue?!?) about the baby news!
