Adventures in Tie-Dye

The day before St. Patrick's Day, I realized that Ellis did not possess a single item of green clothing. And since these things are sometimes important to kindergartners and I never know what kind of theme-y thing they might hype up at school, I thought we better make a green shirt fast. He's going to need Tshirts for summer anyway.

So while at Target, I picked up a simple white T and meant to get the same for Marlowe, but there were none white in his size, so I got him green. Thus, I introduced Ellis to tie-dye. I have some green dye in my stash. (remember this?) And there's nothing more awesome than stirring a pot of dye. Thankfully, I managed to restrain myself from dyeing everything in sight. With Marlowe's shirt, I tried reverse tie-dyeing with bleach. I think I left it in too long, though. Oh well, they both ended up with fun green shirts.

Ellis was extremely proud of his.

That was the day we went to the zoo.
