To dye or not to dye? That is the question.

As I sit here and collect my thought as to what I should write about tonight I can't help but think if we used enough green dye on Becca's shirt tonight. We couldn't find the right color green to match her kilt so we decided to make our own. The first try didn't come out dark enough so we are on round two. In addition to dying shirts we are also dying socks to match, well not match but they will be a light oatmeal color(I hope). They will look better than bleach white I think. I went on rit dye's web page to see what they suggested and found a page of design your own colors...wow! I had no idea you could do all that with 1/4 teaspoon of dye! Back to the socks, kilt hose are about $20 a pair so times that by 6 and you get the point. In John's talking with other kilted people on line he came across a man who told him to get soccer socks since they are long enough to come up to your knees. Soccer socks...who would have thunk it? The price wasn't half bad either at only $3.75 a pair, add to it the dye for about $2 and we are still spending less than 2 pair of kilt hose. We have about 1o people from church that are joining us for the games. I don't if it's the extreme sports, the wonderful sound of the bagpipes, or the fact that John will be in a kilt that has them coming but I think it will be a fun time of fellowship for all.

Tomorrow morning I am headed to the school for the Young Authors and Illustrator's Awards. Brian and Grace will be getting an award, though I am still not sure for what, I will find out in the morning and let you all know. After that is off to the library for story time and singing for Faith and Dlyan. Yes another busy day in the Miles' house but to us this is life and we love it!
