is this recycling, momma?

We finally had some shorts weather today...and the kids were SO excited to pull out their "new" shorts.  Aahma B came for a few days last week and along with helping out with baby-sitting the boys while I had a horrible time at the dentist getting a crown put in, she also took all the kids' jeans that had holes worn in them and turned them into adorable shorts for the summer by trimming them in cotton fabric.  They turned out ADORABLE, the kids loved them (and loved picking out the fabric for their own shorts), I was so happy to re-purpose these pants that still had lots of wear except for the knees, and I don't have to buy three pairs of shorts for G, two each for W & C, and one for H.  Ok, H didn't wear holes in his jeans over the winter, in fact he won't fit into any jeans he might have worn even last month, but we couldn't resist turning a pair got on clearance into cutey-shorts so he could have a pair too. =)  So thank you SO much Mom B - kids call them their "aahma" shorts, so you are thought of lovingly every time they wear them.

G asked me, "Is this recycling, Momma?"  I smiled and said it was more like re-using.  She responded, "Whatever it is, I like it."
