May the 4th be With You

Happy Star Wars Day!

I knew I'd have Teddy wear his crewcuts Yoda shirt today, but I wasn't sure if I could convince Tillie to wear the crewcuts R2D2 shirt  I'd bought ahead for Teddy.  I played up the Princess Leia buns and she was ALL ABOUT it.  Teddy's wearing Gap shorts and Tillie's wearing a crewcuts skirt.  (I found the chambray skirt she loved on eBay!  The other one she had was size 3, this is a 6-7 and has a ton of room.)

Transitional Seasons are the Hardest.

It's spring, but still too cool for short-sleeves in the morning, hence these outfits.  They're a little darker than I'd normally go for in the last week of April.

Teddy: crewcuts striped pull-over, Gap chinos, TOMS
Beatrix: Giggle Moon over a Carter's bodysuit, Circo shoes
Tillie: Next dress, Adorable Essentials ruffle pants, Circo cat shoes.

My Little Birthday Girl Takes Chicago!

We're not falling into the third kid gets screwed on parties over here!  This little girl got to go to the American Girl store.  The kids didn't want to do much shopping after we bought their toys, but I made a quick stop to take these cute pictures of my girl.

She's wearing a Beatrix Potter for babyGap dress that my cousin gave her, Dear Grace & Parker party hat and Payless shoes.

Tillie wore a DreamSpun dress and Adorable Essentials ruffle pants.  Teddy wore Carter's skinny jeans and a Gap tee.

Birthday Party Girls!

We had a shared party for the girls tonight.  I didn't get great pictures of the outfits, but we had a lot of fun.

Bebe's birthday outfit is a Mini-Boden dress I bought with a voucher a friend gave me.  Her Dear Grace & Parker party hat was from a sale last December.  I love the hat so much.

Tillie kind of wanted to wear a bunny dress as well, so I went up to the attic to see if her 3-4 Mini-Boden dress still fit.  It did!  I was kind of shocked.  It's not even too tight around the arms.

Not to be left out, Teddy wore his Gap "Bunny Dog" shirt.

Easter!

I love how my little trio's outfits came together this year.

They weren't thrilled to take pictures outside before church, but they still look adorable.  I bought Beatrix's outfit first, before she was born for $3.  It seemed perfect and Eastery, so I decided to find clothes for the others to coordinate. (Her shoes ans socks are what Tillie wore for her first Easter.)

Tillie's wearing an Eleanor Rose dress.  When they posted the sneak I thought it would be perfect because it has similar colors and a similar cut to Bea's dress.  I would have had her wear white flats, but she didn't have any and I didn't want to buy shoes to wear once, so Salt-Waters it is!

I took the girls' dresses with me to Carter's to pick out a shirt for Teddy.  I first had thought green, but it didn't match at all.  I picked this button-up because there are blue flowers on Beatrix's dress and the pink stripe in the shirt is the same as both of the dresses.  I bought the Urban Sunday suspenders half off at Horrock's after Christmas and he Gap chinos I picked up on clearance a year ago.  Teddy requested the hat at Carter's and I couldn't say no.  I'm really glad I got it.

Spring-y Sunshine!

The weather today was just lovely and we celebrated with some spring outfits.

Teddy adores this Gap tee.  Tillie decided to call it a "Bog" for Bunny-Dog.  Teddy just hops all over when he's wearing it.  I knew he'd be spending a lot of time outside, so I pulled out his jeans that already have a hole.  His 2t jeans are starting to get too short.

Tillie's wearing a Gap bird tee with Gap jeans and an Okaïdi cardigan.

Beatrix started out in her Gap Wayfarer top and cardigan, but by lunch she needed a new outfit.  I pulled out this Gap Gypsy body-double and jeans.  Her 6-12m jeans are getting too short.

Palm Sunday!

Beatrix is wearing the Carter's Dress Tillie wore for her first Palm Sunday.

Teddy's wearing a Rabbit Moon button-up, Crazy 8 tie, Gap chinos and TOMS.  It was important for me to include BabySam in this picture because he is also wearing a tie.

Tillie's wearing a Matilda Jane dress I found at Once Upon a Child. (Symon's General Store dress from the Good Hart line)  It's still too cold for short sleeves, so she opted for an Old Navy tee and Gymboree leggings under it.  (The other options were a cardigan and tights.)  Emmie needed to be in the picture because she is also wearing a dress with leggings.

Camp Kids

Teddy decided that he and Bebe should match today.  They're both wearing Camp acorns.  Beatrix has hers with an Old Navy denim skirt, Gap leggings and Robeez.  Teddy has a crewcuts tee and Gap jeans.

St. Patrick's Day!

Beatrix is wearing a Carter's shamrock dress, rainbow BabyLegs and See Kai Run maryjanes.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Urban Adventures chambray button-up. orange crewcuts tee, Gap green skinny jeans and TOMS.

Tillie's wearing a crewcuts cardigan, Gap dress, and Gymboree leggings.

50* Means Spring Clothes!

Sure, it was still 30* when we left for church, but the sun was out!  At least I haven't made them start posing for pictures outside.  Soon, though...

Teddy's wearing an Okaïdi button-up, crewcuts layering tee, Gap jeans(thrift store!) and navy TOMS.
This is the face he makes when you ask him to smile.

Beatrix is wearing a Janie & Jack Sweet Coral Reef dress($1 at OUAC) and Janie & Jack Tea Time cardigan(came with a swing top set from OUAC).  Her Circo shoes were Tillie's Easter shoes.  Her felt bow is a new design from Dear Grace and Parker that I clipped on a velvet headband.  

Tillie's outfit is a good example of how inexpensive pieces come together for a great looking outfit!  Her dress I bought yesterday at H&M for $5.  That's the regular price.  I bought the Boden "pretty cardigan" for $8 at a JBF sale last week.  (Here's a cute one for $10 at H&M.)  Her crewcuts necklace was a hand-me-down from my sister, but it's not hard to find inexpensive cute necklaces for girls.  Her Circo cat shoes I got on clearance last year for $5.  Silver shoes are awesome because they match so much!  Tillie picked out the yellow bow, since there are some yellow flowers on the dress.  I like that she picked that over pink or purple.  It's a little unexpected and really makes the outfit,  I think.

Pretend Spring!

Grandma got a Gardens membership and we happily tagged along pretending that it was 30 degrees warmer than it actually is.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Easter bunny eared dog shirt and Gap jeans.

Tillie and Beatrix are wearing coordinating Matilda Jane.  Tillie's wearing her size 2 Stargazer Pearl as a swing top and Bebe is wearing the Cupcake dress from Platinum.

I made Tillie wear the dress because it matched Beatrix, but I surprisingly loved it with her Gap skinnny jeans.

Tillie first wore this dress when she was 17 months old. :)

Happy Kids

I bought this Gymboree Garden Friends set for $1 at Once Upon a Child.  I was hoping it would fit her all spring, but I think I can maybe get one more wear out of it before it's too small.  It wasn't quite warm enough for short sleeves today, so I added this 12-18m Janie & Jack cardigan that I pulled out of TEDDY'S CLOSET.  He wore it in January.  It is a little big on her, but not so big that she couldn't wear it.  It also was a little small on Teddy, but not so small he couldn't wear it.  Sheesh.

Tillie's wearing a Mini-Boden dress(Goodwill!) and Gap jeans.  Teddy's wearing a Circo vehicle tee(from Aunt Betsy!), Gap long-sleeved tee and Gap jeans.

March is the Hardest Month

No one wants to wear winter clothes anymore, but it's still too cold for spring outfits.

The girls are in Matilda Jane today.  Tillie's wearing the Westside 'Molly the Envy' skirt with a Gap tee, crewcuts tulle skirt and necklace, boutique knee socks and OshKosh shoes.  Beatrix is wearing the April knot dress(why I didn't put her in the Abbi knot dress that's from the same line as Tillie's skirt I'll never know) with a Cherokee layering tee, Gap eyelet socks and Livie & Luca Minnies.

Girl Swirl!

Tillie just left for her first dance -- a Daddy-Daughter Dance at school.  She wore a boutique dress from Polka Dot Pearl, Gap cardigan, crewcuts flats and necklace and a Dear Grace & Parker glitter clip.

I asked her how she wanted her hair, and she didn't know, but maybe a bun.  When I suggested trying a curly kind of bun she decided she just wanted curls with a clip.  I let her wear lipgloss and blush, too.

Just For Fun

This morning I just couldn't deal with winter clothes, so I pulled out this Georgia Grace top.  It's a 6m, but seemed really wide so I wondered if it still fit.  It does! Just, but it worked with Gap jeans this morning.  (Until she spilled something all over it and I had to change her.)

Auntie Hand-Me-Downs

My college roommate bought this dress in Spain when we got our referral for Kizie.  Kiz let me borrow it for pictures of Tillie and now again for Beatrix.  I dressed her in all the same accessories that Til wore.

I *think* it would still fit Beatrix at Easter, but just in case I wanted to take them now.  When you look at the pictures of Tillie you can see that even though Bea's hair is light, it's a lot darker than Tillie's!

Day 7 - Happy Valentine's Day!

We hadn't planned on going anywhere today, but with a split second decision to go to Horrocks meant as many layers as I could put on them.

Tillie: Gap cardigan, Target "Bee Mine" tee, Cherokee tutu, Circo leggings, DreamSpun bow
Beatrix: Janie & Jack cardigan, Target "Bee Mine" tee, Gymboree Nice Kitty tutu, Circo leggings, Robeez, Inspired by Olive Zoelle headband
Teddy: Gap tee and jeans

Day 6

Look at this guy.  So freaking cute.

He's wearing a Gap striped v-neck tee(OUAC), Carter's gray skinny jeans(that are 3t and are actually skinny on him!) and TOMS.

And, my sweet girls on Galentine's Day.

My mom bought them the Carter's heart tees last year when I was still pregnant.  Tillie's wearing hers with a Hanna Andersson skirt and Circo tights and shoes.  She started out with this bow, but switched it out when she saw I had another one that was the same as Bea's.

Bebe is wearing her tee over a white Gap Peter Pan collared dress.  Her polka dotted socks are Gap(and I think navy dots, but I didn't have time to find anything else... They're dark!) and Gymboree shoes with a Carter's bow.

Day 3

Little Bebe is in a One Kid heart cardigan, Old Navy red polka dot dress, Gap ruffle socks, Livie & Luca Minnies and a headband a friend made.

Tillie wore a Gap heart tee(Goodwill), Gap skinny jeans and a My Little Pixies clip.

And, yes, I was phoning it in with Ted's outfit today.  At least he's wearing red!  It's a red Naartjie hoodie and Carter's knit pants.  The pants are a 2t and run small -- they're actually too short for him already.  The hoodie is also a 2t, but rather big.  All together it's a totally awesome outfit, no?

Cream and Gold

Tillie is the only one who went to church this morning. She wore a cream Gap tee, gold crewcuts tutu and pearl necklace, H&M bird leggings and gold Circo boots.
