The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

So...think back to February when we made the bookmark for Dear Daddy. E and I also made a shirt for her, Jake, and SJ. The inspiration for the shirts was actually El and SJ's faces! :) They have taken after their father in so many ways, appearances included. I was trying to brainstorm an original gift for him that E could help create.

We purchased some plain white tees (not the band) from Walmart. (This is where they were least expensive. Keep in mind-you get what you pay for. Considering I didn't think they would be wearing the shirts much, a low quality material was ok by me.) We printed out a clipart of an apple and a tree. I cut them out, modifying them to my visual appeal. I traced the pattern onto freezer paper (the side without sheen), ironed them onto the shirts (sheen side down), and we (yes, E and I) went to town with fabric paint. ((((Here are a few more parentheses just for fun since I think that I went a little parenthesis crazy in this post.))))))))))) Jake liked the shirts and surely got a charge out of them. Here's the kicker, though. They just wore them yesterday for the first time!! (Insert parenthetical YEE-HAWS here!!) Too cute, if I don't say so myself. Well, I just did.
