The Art Smock
When Logan's kindergarten packet came in the mail, with the hefty list of supplies he would need, my eyes caught on the line, "Please include 1 art smock (an old shirt, trimmed to wrist length) - label with child's name"...
This could go a few ways, I'm thinking. Old t-shirts... with gaping arm holes... hmm.
Logan's father donated a shirt to the art smockery. After a good wash, I trimmed the sleeves to wrist length, as instructed. It was SO boring. Maybe I have something wrong with me. Who knows. All I know, is that it needed to look less slobby.
Cue montage music, overlaying the video replay of replacing the shirt cuffs on the shortened arms, hand painting a Mario M with Logan's name on the front pocket, and sewing velcro on the inside of the button strip so that it looks like a button-up, but he doesn't actually have to button it. End montage music. :o)
The art smock of Mario is born.
Logan is pretty excited. :o)
Secretly, I am excited too, because nobody else will have an art smock like it. :o)
