Happy Birthday Noodle!

So my new favorite craft is stenciling shirts...It's amazingly simple to do.  I made a Mickey and Minnie shirt for each of the kids with the intention of visiting Disney, but that trip to Jax and Disney got canned.  Our dear friend Nick, who lives in Florida, had his 3rd birthday this week and we were bummed that we had to miss it.  The plan was to take his present with us and hand deliver it, but no such luck.

Nick LOVES pirates - that may be an understatement.  He lives and breathes pirates.  When there was a baby alligator in the pond behind his house, he spent the days looking out the back window saying "tick tock" the entire time!  Any time I would babysit Nick, he'd always ask if I could put Kendall to bed so he and I could play with Riley's Lego Pirate set!

So in honor of Nick's love for all things pirate, I made him a Capt. Hook shirt for his birthday.  I think Riley is a little jealous because I made a pirate shirt for Nick, but he'll get over it when he sees all the shirts I have planned for him!




I bought each kid a red long sleeve shirt and plan to stencil snow flakes on it for Christmas!  Can't wait to see how they turn out!  This is so much fun and a cheaper way to give my kids one of a kind shirts!
