Hannah has been eager to dress up like a pioneer ever since we went to Nauvoo. So a month or so ago, I started sewing her a skirt. Though I sewed and unpicked the stitching and sewed again, I never quite finished it up (I was having brain troubles thinking through making it reversible). I also planned on making a little apron and bonnet. Yesterday Hannah said that she guessed that it would be okay to wear a different outfit on Pioneer Day since I hadn't finished her pioneer girl costume. So last night I diligently sewed and finished the skirt and apron. (which made me think of my mom spending long nights sewing dresses for me). The bonnet intimidates me so I didn't even start it. So this morning Hannah was excited to see her pioneer girl outfit but didn't want to wear it without the bonnet. Figures! So I told her that we could tie some material in her hair to match the skirt. We talked with Hannah about pioneer children walking and walking for such a long time, and perhaps getting mosquito bites (just like she has), and getting sick. Tonight I'm excited to share some family history stories with her that mom sent.

That is a way cute skirt and apron, Heath!
Heather, You are so awesome! Great job making such a cute pioneer skirt. I know all about that, as I just made a skirt and bonnet to go to Martin's Cove, and mine wasn't even reversible. You are such a great mama!
And I love that you made Hannah a purse too. That about made me cry how Hannah wants to be just like you.
Love ya!
