Outfits

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to spend the day with my neices and nephews, which would mean my kids got to spend the day with their cousins. A rare opportunity as these particular cousins live out of state. We went swimming and then had cookies and IBC rootbeer to celebrate some birthdays. Much fun was had.

My youngest neice is an all-out girly-girl and such a cutie pie to boot. She was telling me, after the cookies and rootbeer, how she got to wear three outfits that day. I asked her if it was good to get to change outfits that many times and she replied," Uh, yeah. It's AWESOME!" Remember being that excited about your "outfits"?

I had these Luv-It jeans with matching t-shirts- man, was I the bomb! I had some with strawberries that were pretty cool and on my gymnastics pair my mom sewed these metal labels on to the pockets with my name on them. Talk about sweet! My very favorite pair had popsicles on the butt pockets, though. I have had a strange fascination with images of popsicles my whole life. It's really quite bizarre, I guess. I don't care to eat popsicles much, they are too messy. I dunno, I'm weird. But you already knew that.

Oh and I almost forgot my crayon nightgown. I coveted that nightgown. The day I finally got it, was like the best day of my life! It had a rainbow of crayons on it and all these squiggly lines going down it like the crayons had actually colored on it. I loved that nightgown. I wish I had one like it now. I would wear it all the time. My husband already thinks I'm nuts anyway, what do I have to lose?

Caroline definitely followed in my footsteps with the "outfits". She found a pair of Toile capri pants at Old Navy when she was 4 that she just had to have. Mercy she wanted those pants. After we left Old Navy, without the pants she told me, " I really miss those pants" A pair of capris that you love so much you actually miss them? And at Old Navy prices! They needed to belong to her, so I went back and got them and gave them to her for Christmas (yes, that's why I didn't buy them the 1st time, it was December) She immediately put them on. She loved those pants.

She's moved on to new favorites these days. A pair of patchwork madras shorts from the Gap. I do love the Gap. She got that from me, too. Makes me miss the tiny little girl in the Toile pants. Not that I don't like the tweenager in the madras shorts because she's pretty cool, too.
