Sock Hop

On Friday Jan. 23rd, Cooper and Chad attended the annual Girl Scout Sock Hop. Somewhere along the way the tradition was started that it was a father/daughter dance, so Chad graciously accepted. Of course a girl needs a "poodle skirt" to wear to the sock hop, or in Cooper's case a "scotty skirt." Chad's mom, Jane, helped Cooper and I at the fabric store choose a pattern and buy all the supplies needed to make this skirt. I haven't sewn anything in a long time, but luckily I do know how to sew, just enough. So I cut everything out and thankfully Jane sewed everything together, in under 2 hours the skirt was done! Cooper doesn't have an eye for fashion yet, and it's always one of our biggest fights in this household, what to wear or what goes together. So after a lot of grumbling she was dressed and they were on their way. They had a great time and even danced in the dance contest, although they didn't win. I hope Cooper can remember these fun times forever. We are hoping Campbell will wear the "scotty skirt" some day too.
