100th Day of School Shirt

If you're like me and have boys, then you know just how difficult finding things that revolve around boys is. Everything is hearts and flowers, or pink and sparkly. 
After tons of thinking I came up with Lego (Fun Fact: Lego is spelled this way for both singular and plural), what kid doesn't love Lego? Anyways. My sons birthday just happened to fall on the 100th day, so I was going to be clever... I made a huge Lego Man in the center of the shirt that read Birthday Boy and then I started drawing 100 loose Lego pieces all over... then came the news... due to "Bad Weather" and missing a few days of school they had to push back the day they were celebrating. Which guess what that meant? The shirt I made was no longer wearable and I had to start ALL OVER again and with only 2 days to come up with something new! *sigh*

 

As I was pushing my youngest on the swing that day, spacing into lala land, I notice his shirt is covered in pirates. LIGHTBULB! 

That night I drew a Pirate Ship onto his shirt and then 
100 fish underneath this ship. 
This is my outcome ---------->

My son was thrilled, all that hard work was worth seeing that big smile come across his face and his eyes light up!
