Abby's "Underwear Ball" How-To:

So when I was cleaning out the girls closet the other day I came across something heavy that made a loud 'thud' when I threw it out into their room. So I asked Abby for a tutorial.


"It's very easy. First, you just put all undies on your head, as many as you can find. Then you can take it off and it's like a ball"...that weighs five pounds.


You might think "well heavens, with all that underwear being used for projects like that, what have they been wearing? I have four girls and approximately 436 pair of assorted "unders" as we like to call them. I (like to) think they were all clean for this little activity.

I just love when the girls get into their arts and crafts.

Emily, I need more specific directions-exactly how many pairs of 'unders' are used. You know Christmas is not that far away. Well, we know what what is on Abby's head; we only need to wonder what is in it! Just kidding! Love you...and Abby... and Haley, Mia and Hazel oh and Clark too.

and I thought my boys were creative!

Wow! That was hilarious-- way too funny! I can totally see my girls doing the same thing.

Like mother, like daughter! I can totally see you doing that at her age!

You should submit that to some modern art contest. I think I would wash all the underwear without looking so I never know if there were all already clean or not!

Hee-hee. When I read "Underwear Ball" I was thinking like, a Ball, like a dance Cinderella would attend.. but in her underwear.. so I was expecting all your little girls frolicing around with undies pulled up over their clothes, and maybe a tiara or two.
This was much, much, better.

I'm just kind of speechless. I really don't know how to respond to that kind of creativity. Although, when I think about it, if I had all of our old photos nearby I would be rummaging through them to find a picture I know exists of you with "unders" on your head. Your kids just took it one level higher.

My first thought was: good job for having all their "unders" clean for them! Off to do the laundry now.

That is awesome. I am surprised more children haven't reached this natural conclusion because you know we ALL put underwear on our head at one point. Sheesh, my one year old knows how to do it already.
I guess it just takes an ounce more creativity. Way to go Abby!! I almost want to try this.

Jessica said...

Oh..I was laughing so hard. Kids are so creative,no? That is priceless.

That may be an original project she's got there. She is gorgeous and creative!

The kids carefully read Abby's tutorial and got a good laugh. Holy cow, that is a lot of unders.
