This is the kind of awesomeness I live with. It makes up for pretty much any bad thing that happens to me.
In Nels’ right hand he’s holding the handle to his favorite vaccuum. It really is his favorite. We found it (the vaccuum, not the handle) in the Habitat for Humanity store a few weeks ago. I had no money but Nels begged, begged me to buy it. The men there told us it was $5 (the price tag said $10) and put Nels’ name on it. We picked it up via bike the next day. He vaccuums with it, natch, but also takes the handle out as a hiking stick/sword.
Also, I am a knitting sewing fool. The hat, coat, shirt, pants, and bag were all made by me (P.S. I made the kid too).
Oh look he has a coat and shoes on! 😉
You can just see what a beautiful soul Nels is. Nice work there.
He also has on flashy lights. He was walking to his Gram’s and it was near dusk and I have a car paranoia thing.
I love this photo.
Your title reminds me of something Gwyn said a few weeks ago. We were getting ready to go somewhere new and she said “Oh, I need my adventure pants on!” and ran to get this pair of pants that was handed down to me from a friend’s daughter. Not sure what makes them adventure pants. I bet if Gwyn met Nels they would get up to some serious adventures together.
Okay, I can’t help myself:
“It’s where I keep my things. It’s a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.”
Cuteness, he’s an adventure extraordinaire! Also, its amazing that you made his outfit, thats really brilliant 🙂
