Matched Set

Abby and I made tye-dye shirts for all of the kids just before Ben arrived. (Abby wanted to make them for the grown-ups too, but somehow I talked her out of it). The big kids did not wear these to the hospital, but we decided to wear them today.

You can read the fronts, but probably can't see the left sleeves which proclaim birth order "Kid #1." I was going to add "Mom's favorite" to the back of all of the shirts (because they are all mom's favorite), but I ran out of time that evening.

And yes, getting 4 kids to look in the general direction of the camera and at least sort of smile does take at least two adults and several rounds of cookies. (Note to self - next time, someone needs to kennel the dog so he doesn't steal any cookies...)
