Eric’s home from my mom’s now. I went and picked him up on Sunday. He had a fun time over there and on Sunday at church he made my step-dad a father’s day gift. It was a really cute little container they made with peanuts in it, lol. Anyway, he went to VBS today and had a great time. He really liked it. It’s not at our regular church though, it’s a different one cause the regular church had their VBS last week and he wanted to go to my mom’s.
So anyway, I decided that this year instead of going out and buying Eric shorts and stuff for the summer that I would just have my mom turn his pants into shorts. The reason for this is because he has grown a few inches and the pants were becoming too short anyway. So this way I saved about $75-$125 on summer clothing. I really don’t know why I didn’t do that every summer previously.
My mom’s good with a sewing machine. I, on the other hand am just mediocre. She’s much better at everything than I am but I guess that just comes with old age. 
When we go to and from my mom’s house we always pass this church with a giant cross. Well last night in the dark it looked so pretty that Eric took a picture of it with my phone. It’s so weird, it’s like 2 stories high.
If you live in the Houston area, it’s right off Beltway 8 West (The south part of the loop) right by 45 heading towards 288. Anyway, it’s pretty, isn’t it?
Making shorts out of pants that are not long enough anymore but still fit in the waist and stuff is a super awesome idea.
Yeah, it saves money, too.
I did that with my step sons pants. He’s only 3 so I know they won’t fit him come this fall/winter anyways. Only I didn’t sew them, I just chopped them off. lol. He is too young to care and I have nicer ones for when we go out and he won’t be tearing them up.
Yes, it’s an excellent way to recycle clothing and save a grip.
