For the 100th day of school, Hawken's school asks the kindergarteners to decorate a white t-shirt with 100 of SOMETHING. At first Hawken wanted to just make tally marks up to 100, since that would go really fast and he could be done. But after Paul and I convinced him to do something else more creative, he decided that he wanted 100 TINY Poke Balls on his shirt…
We had to hunt for a color inkjet printer, finally we found a friend who had one that we could use! Then we had to cut out all the Poke Balls, which between his and Matix's (who of course wanted to make a shirt too - just for fun) definitely gave us arthritis. But it was worth it. Hawken got to lay out all of the little balls where he wanted them and design his own shirt. He loved it.
Then on the way home, Hawken and Stella (dressed in their fabulous 100th day attire) found jewels all over the road and collected them. It was an exciting day all around!

Very creative!
What a neat idea. Way to go Hawken! Looks great. Jessie, one day you will think back on all the crazy, creative things you did with your children and wonder how you ever had the time and energy to do it. I know I do.
