Once upon a time, on a random afternoon of running errands, Sam found a treasure.
While dropping off items at the local thrift shop, the boys were given the opportunity to pick out a new shirt.
While Hamp predictably selected a brown sports tee, Sam chose a beautiful, lavender, velour, long-sleeved, embellished shirt which he has worn enthusiastically ever since!
So far this summer, Hamp & Sam have enjoyed many adventures that 6 & 9 year old boys normally love - baseball, rivers, camping, bike riding, friends, swimming, forts, and of course on hotter afternoons: the water hose!
Well a few days ago the boys certainly found a new adventure in their own back yard... and while I was irritated at having a mud pit in the yard, I couldn't help but delight in hearing and seeing their joy from getting dirty!
Which brings us back to Sam's treasured purple velour shirt...
As you might notice from the pictures above, he wore it right in the mud pit and as it turns out, mud really clings to velour!
So Sam had to say goodbye to his favorite purple shirt.
But never fear, the thrift shop is near!
And while making another donation yesterday, Sam was able to find a new treasure...
