Kimball: Darning his own socks

Darning his own socks

The other day, I found Owen in my laundry room trying to darn his beloved Stance socks. He had pulled out my sewing box and taken out a needle and thread. Not knowing what to do next, he resorted to his my beloved standby - tape. He then taped the thread to the needle and was trying to sew the holes when I walked in. Nice try Owen!

Perhaps in the future, wearing shoes with your socks will help in preventing the holes. Just a suggestion.

We're so excited that you now have a cabin ready to sleep in and that your family is going to Alaska this summer. That's all really exciting stuff. Our hearts go out to Taylor. He must be thinking about a mission in a year. Love seeing your boys creative solutions to clothing, socks, shoes, and dirty clothes hampers. Makes me feel like I wasn't the worse mom ever.; June 15, 2016 at 8:21 PM
