Something borrowed

Or handed down, if you prefer. Cate has a ode in her head to another piece of clothing that everyone has worn, but today is a nice day and Scooby came out of the dresser.

Scooby is a tank top that Neil bought for Elizabeth when we were living in Arlington. Elizabeth was much smaller and the shirt was gigantic on her at the time, coming down to her knees. But she loved it, and wore it until she didn't fit anymore, in the other direction.

It later went into Robert's circulation and was worn occasionally, and now Colleen is the perfect size. We've gotten the maximum usage out of this gift, to be sure! So thanks!

Coincidentally (not ironically), Colleen is holding in the bottom picture another piece of clothing that everyone has worn, a pair of fleece pants that had been part of a Bear in the Big Blue House ensemble. A little warm for that today, but we're at the point where instead of clean laundry going into drawers, they're going into suitcases.

Colleen wouldn't quite pose with the Scooby shirt but you get the pictures.

Robert is out on his last play date in Virginia, with Austin, a kindergarten classmate. They'll be going to the park and such.
