School clothes shopping

Well...I just dropped a load of money on school clothes today!  I got great deals, and no one got an outrageous amount of clothes.  But, shopping for 2 preteens and a fashion wanna-be son was not cheap!

I went in to Abercrombie for the first time ever!  I want to make sure my new middle school boy looks sharp, and he will!  He'll even smell good because he requested cologne! However, we couldn't find anything appropriate for girlie!   We had to shop Justice for that!

So...for now, all the clothes are on my bed with the tags still on just in case my hubby comes home and flips!?!

Through the Generations...


We were looking for a costume for Mary Frances to wear for her "Annie" dance recital. I looked in her closet and realized how perfect this old dress was!! This is a dress and pinnafore that my great-grandmother, Mama Taylor, made for me when I was little!

It is so precious on Mary Frances and PERFECT for the recital!! I really enjoyed watching her wear it yesterday to dance!

Labor Day

Yesterday, Thomas asked why we didn't have school on Monday, and I said, "because it's Labor Day." When he asked what Labor Day was, Mary Frances chimed in with a disappointed look, "Its the day we can't wear white anymore!!!"

Oops, did I do that?

Dresses

Mary Frances LOVES dresses! Apparently, it is very important to her to look nice when she goes places. I'm sure I have encouraged that by making sure her bow is in place and that she does look nice, but she is branching out a little!! Now, she is on me and what I'm wearing.

After our tea party last week, she told my mom that I looked kind of pretty but not REALLY pretty because I was wearing pants and not a dress. I do wear pants a lot, but I always look nice and appropriate, but apparently Mary Frances thinks I should also be wearing dresses.

So, last night she came in my closet as I was getting ready and said, "Where are you going mommy?"

I told her I was going to the church for a rehearsal. I was wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, and a hat - something she would NEVER wear!

So she said,"I suppose you should wear a dress." Where did she get "suppose" from? Anyway, I informed her that it was only a rehearsal and that I was wearing my jeans and hat. Then she said, "Well you could at least wear a skirt to church!"

So, I disappointed her last night, but I let her help me pick out my clothes this morning. She wanted a dress for me, but it wasn't right for the occasion. She said, "Well can I have that dress when I get older?"

I then changed into a skirt with tights and boots. She loved the outfit - especially the boots. She checked with me to be sure I wasn't changing again and wanted to be sure I was keeping the boots and earrings on!!

What a character! What have I created?? Jessica says she is definitely related to her - the fashion queen!
