More pictures? You got it. You may regret it.
My Mom used to sew most of our clothes for us growing up, which I feel is amazingly cool. I never have time to sew for members of my family, so I can really appreciate all the time and energy she put into making our holiday clothes (a new outfit for Easter, and a new outfit for Christmas, every year). The only thing I would have requested differently is non-matching dresses. We were geeky enough without being dressed like Cindy, Jan, and Marsha Dorkfest.
Not to brag, but Mom was one of those SuperMoms you hear about sometimes. Every day she baked bread and a hearty, healthy meal for us. She sewed our clothes for us, cleaned, baked cookies, reupholstered our furniture, stripped paint from and refinished all of our wood furniture, canned vegetables, hung wallpaper, made homemade granola, she even CHURNED BUTTER for us.
People, she CHURNED BUTTER!
It's pretty funny, because now she stores grocery bags in her NEVER-USED oven and only eats deli foods. I guess all those loaves of bread made her kind of hate cooking.
At any rate, we all get a good giggle when we look at these pictures. Enjoy!
And I don't want to hear any "BOY IN A DRESS" comments!

I just have to add that your mother was (and still is) an amazing seamstress. She made all your clothes and to my knowledge never used a pattern. She just got the picture in her head and cut away. I was always in awe of that. I did a lot of sewing but never without a pattern.
