"Flood" P.J. Pants and Sleepovers

I have these favorite flannel pajamas that - you guessed it - have totally shrunk in length on the pants. So, I did something totally unconventional and lazy (sorry Mom!). I started just below the waistband on the pants and cut 2" off both sides - almost down to the hems. You could cut more or less - depending on how baggy your pajama pants are. Then I sewed the sides back up and took the 2" I had cut off and sewed it around the bottoms of the pajamas. Since they have a pattern, you can't even tell.

While I'm talking about pajamas, our adorable grandkids slept over a couple of weeks ago. While I was making pancakes for breakfast, two-year-old Audrey started screaming. I turned around and she had tried to follow our dog, Lucy, through the triangular part on our table (see photo) and her head was stuck! Now I was in a dilemma: should I immediately try to get her head loose or should I run for the camera?! Since she was pretty hysterical, I tried to get her out. I couldn't budge her so sent Brayden for Grandpa. By the time they got back, I had freed her. Brayden asked how I did it and I said, "I unfolded her ear." And he said, "You undid her ear?!"
