Thursday was Penguin Day for the kindergartners at Reesi's school. I had originally planned of ordering one off ebay, but I waited to late and was worried it wouldn't come in on time. So I headed to JoAnn's with a mission. My plan was to make it myself and save money to boot. The first problem with my plan arouse when I checked out and the clerk said, "That will be $44.35."
"What!" So much for saving money!
Luckily, my mom was in town and volunteered (guilted into) to start on the penguin while I was at work. She has been sewing from patterns for 30+ years and she was having trouble following it. I knew there was no way I could do it. So she took it home to finish it up for me. So much for making it myself!
It did turn out really cute and I am justifying the $44.35 by saying that I will save it for when Elye Kate is in kindergarten! Penguin Day 2014, we are ready! That is if we can find the hat Reesi left at school, shoot!

Was the penguin costume a requirement?
