I have 2 little boys. J is 5 and C is 2. Both of them are total boys. They like cars and bugs and teasing their sisters. They always want to wrestle and they think bodily functions are hilarious. J really likes to watch Super Why on PBS. If you don't know what that is? You are missin' out! :) Anyway, he begged me to make him a Super Why costume for Halloween. (yes, I realize that was 4 months ago and I am just now blogging about it). I took pictures throughout the whole process, but didn't realize until about 1/2 way through that there was no memory card in my camera. I'm cool like that sometimes. So, I'll do the best I can to explain without all of the pictures. Target had a sale on long sleeve t-shirts...$3.50 each. I bought a small and a large. I also bought a pack of boys underwear with a navy blue pair. Once I got home, I cut the sleeves off of the Large one and they became the legs for his costume. I took the blue underwear and sewed the shirt sleeves into them. Viola! Superhero pants. Then I took the shirt and followed this tutorial to make the Super Why logo on the front of his shirt and to make a cape. Since I was already making the cape, I decided to make it reversible. One side is plain blue (which he needed for the costume) and the other side is red with a "Super J" emblem on it. I just made up the "Super J"...I know, I'm so creative. :) The last thing I did was take some yellow ribbon and cut it to fit his waist. Then I burned the ends so they wouldn't ravel and sewed Velcro on them. This became his belt. And here is the finished product. Pretty cute, huh? Now the only problem is that his little brother won't take the cape off. I guess I should make him one of his own! I keep getting spam comments on this post, so I am turning the comments option off. if you have questions or want to comment, just email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

Nelson-Galt House, built 1695 Oldest dwelling in Williamsburg I've just discovered (perhaps rediscovered -- as Henry Fonda's character, Norman Thayer, said in On Golden Pond about rereading a book, "It'll all be new to me!") that Nelson-Galt house is the oldest Williamsburg dwelling and one of Virginia's oldest frame houses. According to Colonial Williamsburg materials, the house was remodeled in 1709 by William Robertson and owned later in the 18th century by General Thomas Nelson, signer of the Declaration of Independence, commander of Virginia forces at Yorktown, and governor of Virginia after Thomas Jefferson. In 1823, the property was bought by Dr. Alexander Galt, member of a family that had lived in Williamsburg since colonial times, and the Galt family continued to occupy this house until late in the 20th century. The Francis Street location of the house, on the south side of the restored historic area, seems out of the way compared to Duke of Gloucester Street -- which connects the College of William & Mary (chartered 1693) and the colonial Capitol -- or even Nicholson Street on the north side of the restored area. Last week, however, I vowed to walk the length of Francis Street and to take note of the buildings there. The house is on the west end of the Nelson-Galt property (behind Shields Tavern); at the east end is Nelson-Galt office, with the kitchen between house and office. Like the house, Nelson-Galt office is one of the 88 original buildings remaining when restoration of Virginia's colonial capital began in the 1920s. Williamsburg Historic District, both a National Historic Landmark (1960) and on the National Register of Historic Places (1966; 66000925), includes most of Colonial Williamsburg. In addition, Bruton Parish Church, George Wythe house, & Peyton Randolph house are separately listed on both; all are among the original 88 buildings existing when restoration of Williamsburg began in the 1920s.
