Well, I do feed 'em . . .

I sat back at my daughters' violin recital yesterday and just enjoyed the beautiful music and appreciated all the time and effort every student put into their performance (including effort of parents).

Then, afterward I happened to notice one little detail about daughter-in-black's leggings:

 I'm not kidding. That is scotch tape. She has been in the habit lately of mending her clothes with scotch tape. This isn't the first time I've noticed her resourcefulness, I think I've seen her self-mend four pairs of pants in the same way. Just look below for evidence of that :-)  however, I definitely wouldn't have approved of her wearing scotch taped-leggings to her violin performance, had I known.

I mentioned my observation to the violin teacher who just laughed and said she noticed the tape and just thought, "Well, I guess she wanted to tape her pants."

Then, this morning, on the way into church, I looked at my son walking in front of me. This is what I saw: 

Can you see the tag?

We were within a hair of being late for church and I know how long it takes this kid to get dressed each morning. So, I just let him go in this way. I wondered if people would really be able to notice. From the front, it wasn't too obvious.

Don't worry though, the nice person sitting behind us in church pointed out the tag :-)
