Sunday we decided to make tie dye socks and underwear. I go to Burningman every year, and its customary to bring gifts for people there but especially for the group you camp with. I wrestled with tons of ideas and then came up with the idea of tie dying socks and underwear, just for fun! Hannah (7) Jake (5) and Kiah (12) all helped. . . . we ended up with way too much pink, and not near enough yellows and greens, so we will have to do another batch or two. . .

Some of the finished creations

Jake busy taking bands off of socks he worked so hard on!

Here he is dying a shirt for him to wear, he looks way too serious!
Hannah and Jake are comparing ideas

Kiah is showing off her shirt for the Neville Brothers. That is all she wants for her 13th birthday, so I am driving her to Northern California for a show. She is uber excited!

It was a fun project, a bit messy, my hands are still purple!

As a side note, last night, my son slept with me and wanted to rub my back. Just as I dozed off to sleep we were having a conversation about what he wanted to be when he grows up. . . we discussed being a builder, drawing the buildings instead of building them, being a "baby animal doctor" and then, just as I was almost asleep he says. . . ."Mama, when Im all big, im gonna be gay and kiss all the boys and give them all massages like this. . . " Egads!

We had a discussion that he may be gay. . . . he may be a masseuse . . .. but could we please not be a gay masseuse that chases the boys around kissing them all. . .. oh good lord
