Long Ago

Katie's 2nd Grade class is studying "Long Ago" and they have been learning about pioneer days. Today they will visit Cahill School in Edina and they are all dressing up to be " in character." They'll eat lunch during their field trip and she has hers packed in a little basket, all wrapped up in a fabric napkin. (She didn't buy into the idea of packing beef jerky to eat, though!)


While this post is supposed to be about how cute Katie looks...I can't help but mention that...I ROCK! After the contractor left at NINE O'CLOCK last night, I whipped up this costume. She had the blue dress from Lands End, so I just added the details. But look at that bonnet!!! I did that! With no pattern! (I was so relieved when the "visor" part turned out!) So...I'm extra-invested in how cute Katie looks today =)


Wow, this is a MOMENT. It is not very often that I realize that I have done something good as a mom.
