Overalls....story

There once was a pair of overalls, that lived happily with a small child....
The child out grew and mom folded them up and stored them away...
Until one day...
She gave them away....
Now these overalls, were unpacked by the thrift shop and hung for others to admire...
When...
Mel came along, bought them and took them home...not knowing what she should do...
They hung on a storage door for a while...with all of the other child's overalls...
Then...
Twins were born in Mel's family and long hospital stays began....
The boys needed a sign for their hospital room....hummm, thought Mel...

Little boys are cute in overalls....she thought...
But why not a sign!
Mel cut the overalls in half from front to back....
Trimmed up the sides and added a key...
Cut out some letters and sewed them on front side and back side...
One for Jayden...
and Carson, too...
I'm linking back to Celebrating Every Day Life ....Party

But let's not leave out mommy....she needs a Overall baby bag with lots of pockets, too!

Now the pairs of overalls are living happily in their new repurposed life...

The End.
