Tie Dye with the Village Children!

Shirts lined up according to size
 After a long day of work, we were able to make to tie dye t-shirts with the children of the village.  What a blast!  We brought about 180 t-shirts ranging in size from infant to XL.  The children obviously had never done this before and were VERY excited.  Can't wait to see if they wear their shirts today!



Ramsey was so happy!

    The t-shirts look great! It must be so rewarding to see the smiles on those little kids' faces. Everyone is doing a great job!

    Seeing those pictures of the tie dye brings back memories of Eugene, OR and every preschool class project! Good for you I remember that was fun and a little chaotic with only 25 pre-schoolers. Andreas you could have shared your tie dye wardrobe from back in the day!

    Ha Ha! Lori (Allan) - your comment cracked me up. We were worried about having clothes that were too fancy, but the villagers in all of those cute dresses and outfits definitely make us look bad. Have any of them tried to donate clothes to OUR kids? :) The tie-dye project looked like a lot of fun. Those children are so beautiful, and they looked so happy!

    Oh Ella, I know this is one of your favorite things to do. I still remember when we went to Keydell's group home and you did this with the kids there. So fun. The clothes the kids have a super colorful so they must have loved the shirts. I am going to visit Grandpa today (its tues. morning as I write this) so I will be sure to show him the photos and say hi for you. He is home now and getting better. Love and miss you. Mom
