I was feeling creative

For a long time now i have wanted to make Kendall a shirt to wear to one of Jason's football games. I kept forgetting and then when i would remember it always ended up being to close to the game to get the supplies and make the shirt.

Last week on Thursday i went to work and my boss said we were going to take Friday off too and have a long 4 day Memorial weekend. Kendall still had daycare Friday so it was the perfect opportunity to get everything i wanted done and still be able to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I had saw an idea on Pinterest a while back where you take a colored shirt, a stencil and a bleach pen or spray bottle with bleach in it.

Of course on Thursday when i went to go get the supplies i couldn't find a red shirt ANYWHERE go figure. I decided that i would just get a white shirt and tape out a design and spray paint it. After i picked out 2 spray paint colors, tape and the shirts it was going to be a little more then i wanted to spend on something she would probably only wear once (since it was the last regular season home game).

You have to remember where we live there isn't exactly a lot of options for shopping, basically we have a Kmart and if i want anything more then that i would have to drive an hour to Missoula. I did a little more browsing and ended up in the school supplies aisle and found some crayola washable paint. It was perfect!!!! I also found some paintbrushes and decided i could just paint on a shirt and call it good.

I was going to do it all Friday but once i got to thinking about it i realized i would need more time to let the paint dry before i could flip it over and start on the other side.

 I started on the back. I put newspaper in the shirt so i didn't have to worry about it running through to the other side. I would have done all CAPS but it is hard to fit any writing on a tiny little shirt to the point it is legible. I did red and outlined parts in orange. (for those who done know the Blaze colors are orange, red, yellow and black. But mostly red and orange). I let it dry overnight.

Jason is currently doing some rock work for my parents so i had to meet up with him Friday morning after i dropped Kendall off so I ended up getting a late start on the shirt. It didn't take as long as the back and i think my flames on the side look a little silly. It was going to say "Go Daddy Go" but i decided to change it to just BLAZE.

The rest of the day was crazy hectic running around cleaning the house, picking Kendall up on time and then taking her to the sitter so i could get a haircut. We had a few minutes to hang out at home before we headed out to the game. Usually the games are on Saturdays but since it was memorial weekend they had it on Friday so players would still be able to travel if they wanted. She is looking puffy from having a sweater and t-shirt on under the painted shirt. Can anyone say Randy from A Christmas Story???

I had to hold her still in this picture cause she wanted to run away.

As it turns out the weather was terrible. Raining, cold and windy. We sat in the car (we could still see though) mostly because Kendall fell asleep on the way there and slept through the first quarter and during the 2nd she just sat in there and played. We ventured out at halftime so we could talk to Jason for a few minutes and tell him we were leaving. It was a boring game and they ended up losing. Football is much more boring when you cant hear whats going on. I was really hoping i would get to take pictures of her with Jason wearing the shirt and him in his uniform, since it was washable paint i figured it would probably be a good idea to not get it wet, so no one really got to see it :(

Also since it is still clean and the team is in the playoffs there is going to be another home game, hopefully it is nice enough for her to be able to wear it
