First Snow

Today was the first snow that stuck on the ground, so we celebrated with our clothing choices.  (And, the snow reflects so much light that these pictures are badly lit and I didn't realize it until now.)

Tillie's wearing a crewcuts snowflake tee(the same she wore last year), H&M jeans amd snowflake TOMS(also wore last year).

I dug in Teddy's 3t bin for this Gap Alpine Lodge reindeer tee.  His Next lined jeans are also from the 3t bin and are huge, but they do have a drawstrig waist.  Once he tried them on he wouldn't let me take them off.  Later he wore gray french terry Carter's pants and they fit better.

Beatrix is wearing an Old Navy reindeer romper that Tillie wore for her first Christmas.  It's a 6-12m, but runs a little small so I'm glad it snowed so she could start wearing it.  I'm not sure it will fit in 1.5 months!

Navy and Pink

So classic.

I had a good number of navy and pink outfits back in my early J. Crew days.  Today's outfits were all based on the fact that I wanted Teddy to wear this outfit.  He wore it a week ago to an anniversary party with my parents and I didn't get a picture of it then.  I got the Ralph Lauren plaid button-up at a thrift store and the Gap Party Outfits bike pants super-cheap when there was an extra percentage off sale.  They're both 2t and I have no idea why the shirt is still a little big.

Tillie's wearing the outlet version of a Gap Abbey Road dress.  She made me buy it for her at Goodwill a year or so ago.  I wanted to put it back because it was pretty faded, but she LOVED it.  Apparently she doesn't love it anymore, but she still does like it.  It is very cute on her.  It's layered over a Crazy 8 Halloween tee because it's the only white shirt we had and the dress covered the whole graphic.  She takes any opportunity she has to wear her Circo cat shoes and they worked fine today.

Bea's wearing a Gap PopShop dress I got for $1 a Once Upon a Child.  I ADORE this dress.  I wanted it when Tillie was a baby but ended up with a strawberry outfit from the line instead.  It's layered over a cream Gap bodysuit.  The Gap navy patent leather shoes were Tillie's Christmas shoes as a baby.  They're too big on Bea so they'll probably still fit her in December, too.

Princess Frog, Owl and Stripes.

It's a cool day for playing on the playground.  Tillie's wearing a Mini-Boden applique tee(Tillie calls it a Princess Frog) with Gap jeans and pink Cons.

Bea is wearing an Old Navy jumper I bought at a garage sale for 20¢ when I was pregnant with Ted.  It's layered over a Carter's bodysuit.  Her shoes are Robeez that were Til's.

Crazy Ted can still wear this size 2 crewcuts hoody.  I love it on him, so there are some perks to him growing slowly!  His jeans are Gap and his shoes are TOMS.  Most of his non-Gap/crewcuts 2t pants are too short this fall, so I know he is growing a bit!

Beatrix's Baptism

As is the case with all of my children's baptisms, I don't have good pictures.  These are actually the best out of the three.  Yeah.

Beatrix wore a Ralph Lauren dress I bought at Once Upon a Child's $1 sale last year.  It may even have been before I was pregnant with her.  Who could pass up this deal!?  It's a 3-6m, but not to crazily big on her.

Her bow is Dear Grace and Parker and her necklace is Premier Designs.  I bought one for myself when I was high school age, and it's since been passed down to Tillie.  When I was invited to a party a couple years ago I bought another one just in case I ever had another daughter.  Hooray for a non hand-me-down for the second daughter.

Tillie's wearing a coordinating Ralph Lauren dress I found for sale on a message board late last winter.  What were the chances!?  It's a 4, but I like how it fits her.  Teddy's wearing  crewcuts jersey polo and light weight pull-on chino shorts.  They're both wearing Salt-Water sandals.

And all three together.  They didn't turn out great, but they really did try.

Teddy's Baptism

Teddy was baptized this morning!  He wore an Angel Dear sweater one-piece my mom got him when we were shopping at Tip Toes before Thanksgiving.  The bib is by His GEM.  Tillie had the pink one.  Just like at Tillie's baptism, I didn't get a good picture of his outfit.  I know, it doesn't make any sense that the clothing blogger didn't get pictures of her children's baptism outfits.

Tillie wore a crewcuts jumper, Carter's bodysuit(24m!), Gymboree socks and Crazy 8 shoes.

I looked all over for cream tights for her.  Apparently this is a hard cream to match.  I found a pair at Target that was perfect, but they didn't have her size.  I even checked two Targets last night!  As it turns out, I really like these Gymboree socks with it.  It's just a little more unexpected, especially in pink.  The bows on the back are too cute.

Happy...

Someone has been talking to his sister about posing for pictures...

Teddy is wearing an Angel Dear bodysuit(Reuben's), Old Navy jeans and Gap Portobello sweater jacket.
