Warm Spring!

Today felt a little more like early summer!  I was more than happy to pull some warm-weather clothes out of the closet.

Teddy's wearing a Rabbit Moon button-up(later I rolled his sleeves and I liked his outfit a lot better), crewcuts chino shorts and TOMS.
Bebe's wearing a Janie & Jack Summer Picnic dress over a Carter's bodysuit and Cherokee shoes.
Tillie's wearing a Georgia Grace dress, DreamSpun shorties and Salt-Water sandals.  (This dress is one I bought with a credit I won a couple years ago.  It's a 4 and it's finally fitting how I'd like it to!)

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.

Picture Day!

Tillie and I picked out this dress at a DreamSpun sample sale for her school pictures.  I couldn't resist buying a gray bow to go with it.  Now if only she had gray boots for when it gets cooler...  (Just kidding, Tim!)  Since it's going to be 77* today her yellow Saltwater sandals were perfect.

Aqua

I bought Tillie and Teddy these matching shirts last summer before I knew I'd have a third child to dress.  So, Tillie wore a mint dress, but Til and Ted were perfectly coordinated!

Tillie's tank is Gap Villa Oasis and her shorts are crewcuts.  I bought these shorts because I knew they'd be so cute with a Camp staff shirt, but of course the kid shirt was gray this year so she didn't wear them much at Camp.  (They're not her first choice in clothing...)  Teddy's shirt is Gap Sunkissed Staples and his shorts are Old Navy.

Happy Sunday!

Yikes!  The last week of summer!  And it kind of feels like summer is over since Tim has students tomorrow.  I'm glad that Tillie doesn't start until after Labor day this year.  I guess I better break out all the summery-summer outfits I can this week!

Bea is wearing a Ralph Lauren dress that was a gift from my friend Amy.  It's even prettier in person.

Ted-Ted is wearing his Matilda Jane/Mighty Acorns Little Os overalls.  I don't love it with the white H&M shirt under it, but I didn't think it would work without a shirt for church.  I used safety pins on the straps this time since I had to re-button them every 5 minutes last time he wore them.

I bought Tillie this Tea Collection dress at Once Upon a Child's $1 sale 2 years ago.  It's a size 3, but runs super-wide.  This is the first year that it fits in that regard.  It's now a little short, but I don't mind short lengths.  There are pink stitched stars on it that are hard to see.  It's prettier in person, but I just don't "love" it.  But, when you find Tea for $1 you buy it.

Also, she's 5 going on 15 in this picture.

Story Time

My dad let us know about a "Hometown Heroes" story time at Barnes and Noble this morning.  There was going to be a fire truck, ambulance and police car, but the mall is doing construction on the parking lot near the bookstore entrance so there wasn't a place for it.  They still had fun listening to a paramedic, a firefighter and a police officer reading books.

Tillie wore a DreamSpun tank and ruffled shorties.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts tee and Gap madras shorts.  You can see he loved the idea of posing for a picture.

Bea's wearing a Mini-Boden crab tee(OUAC $1 Sale!) and a Gap Capri ruffled diaper cover.

Camp Love

The two big kids are rocking acorn tees today.  Tillie's stripe shirt was a "Christmas" gift from Camp.  All three kids got one, but Bea and Ted need a little more growing time for theirs.  Tillie should be able to wear hers for a while.  She's wearing hers with shorties I made from Old Navy leggings.
Before I received the new striped acorns Tim had asked for a navy acorn to be made for Ted.  He hasn't had an acorn tee since 12m and he LOVES to match his Daddy.  He's wearing it with Gap patchwork madras shorts.

Big Star Lake!

It's time for a family Reunion for Tim's side again.  We drove into Ludington today, as is our own Monday tradition.  Tillie wore a crewcuts tee and Crazy 8 skirt.  She got SO MANY comments and compliments on this tee today.  She's worn in a number of times before, so it was kind of strange to me.

Teddy wore a crewcuts tee and Gap shorts.  I love these together and he's worn it a number of times.  I can't remember if I've posted it before.

Coast Guard

It was a lovely day for a drive out to Grand Haven.  Tillie and Ted were a little disappointed that the carnival rides weren't running yet, but I didn't mind!

Obviously we had to wear nautical outfits for the Coast Guard Festival.  Tillie's wearing a crewcuts tee and shorties I made her from Old Navy leggings.  Her bow is DreamSpun and her sandals are Salt-Waters.  Ted is wearing a crewcuts tee and Gap Cannes shorts with his navy TOMS.

Bea wore her Gymboree Sailor Baby outfit.  In this picture she's wearing the matching bib and hat(backwards) with it.

Family Reunion

Tillie wore a (no brand) bubble knot top and DreamSpun leggings to my family reunion today.  I found the top for 50% off at a local consignment store.  When I showed my cousin she said she *almost* bought it a couple days before.  I guess we'll have to let her borrow it!  It's a three, but works on my slim girl still.  I decided today that I don't really love knot tops without shirt under them.  If it still fits, I think it would look great layered with a cream tee, skinny jeans and boots this fall.

Also, bonus Uncle Philip photobomb.

Petting Farm

Tillie thought her Georgia Grace 'Simple Life' halter would be perfect for the petting farm because it has chicks on it.  she'd also trying to convince me that it's good for staying home playing since it has clotheslines on it.  We'll see about that.  She's also wearing Gap jeans, Salt-Water sandals and a DreamSpun bow.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts striped tee with Gap jeans and shoes.  He vetoed my first choice of a gingham button-up, but this actually matched Tillie better anyway!

Bea's wearing a Gap Outlet denim jumper with a Carter's bodysuit.  Her headband is Dear Grace & Parker.

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.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope you're ready for parades, hot dogs and fireworks!

I promise Bea didn't fall.

 Tillie's wearing a Gap Dressy Styles dress I got for $3 at a consignment sale.  It's hard to see, but there are stars all over it.

Teddy is wearing a Gap slub tee from this summer with big gingham shorts from last summer.  I would have rather him have a red shirt or a blue shirt closer to the color of his shorts, but I got this tee cheap, so I went with it.  Blue is currently his favorite color, so he's happy.

Bea is wearing a Gymboree Sailor Baby outfit.  I adore it.

At Uncle Matt's house they all went in the pool.

Tillie's swimsuit is Circo from Target.

I bought Tillie's because it coordinated with Bea's Gymboree suit.

Teddy's suit is from Gap.

After swimming, Tillie wanted to wear the extra dress I had packed for her.  It's the Baby Sara dress I won from My Little Jules a few years ago.  It's a size 3, but obviously sized very generously.

Long Sleeves

I laid out all of the kids clothes for the whole week last Friday.  This morning I had to dig in their drawers to find long sleeves for layering!

Ted's worn this crewcuts "Sea Legs" tee and Gap Americana shorts recently, but I really love the two pieces together.  Also, since Til is wearing a shirt about the sea, I thought it would be cute to match.

Tillie's is wearing a crewcuts outfit with a "The sea is my home" tee and cowgirl shorts.  The gold Salt-Waters were from J.Crew sale a couple years ago as well.

Little Bea is wearing a Gap striped dress I got for 50 cents at the thrift store.  Paired with a red Dear Grace & Parker bow, she's a reverse flag.

Teddy spilled his grape juice at breakfast and Tillie was complaining about the sequins itching, so they both wanted to change clothes by 9:15.  Fine.  I pulled out the staff kid shirts from 2 years ago and added a Gap Surf skirt for Tillie and Osh Kosh jeans for Teddy.  If I had been thinking I would have saved yesterdays striped Mini-Boden baggies for Ted, but that might have been over the top matching anyway.

Bermudas and Baggies

It's a cooler day today, so all the kids are wearing longer shorts.

Tillie is wearing a Gap top from a garage sale with Gap denim bermudas.

Ted-Ted is wearing a Janie & Jack lobster tee with Mini-Boden baggies.  He's a huge fan of his new Native knock-offs from Gap.  I got them for $5 this week.  He can put them on himself.  Worth every penny.

Beatrix is wearing the outfit Tillie wore for her first 4th of July.  The bodysuit is from Old Navy and the cropped pants are Carter's.  I think I got them for $1 before Til was born.

A Baby in a Hat

I mean, seriously.  My baby is the cutest.  When she's wearing outfits like this Gymboree Sailor Baby romper and hat it's just over the top.  She needed the hat because it was sprinkling a bit this morning on our walk to the dinning hall.  Obviously.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts anchor tee with light-weight shorts.  This boy?  I love him so much.

Tillie's wearing a sparkle star Gap tank with a Gap denim ruffle skirt.  This outfit looked cuter in person and in lighting that wasn't dim morning cabin light.

Patriotic Cherries

Today my little Bea is wearing a Carter's hand-me-down from Tillie.  I *think* this was also a gift from my friend Linds.  Her bow is Dear Grace and Parker.

Here's a close up of the bow, so that you can see the cute "polka-stars".  (Also, she's growing long eyelashes like her older siblings.)

Tillie's happily coordinating in her H&M cherry dress.  We accessoried with a Dreamspun bow, crewcuts necklace and Salt-Water sandals.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts striped tee with Gap Cannes shorts.  Since we were going into town instead of staying at Camp he's wearing his TOMS.

Day 2

Happy Sunday!  We're wearing some faded hues today.

Teddy's wearing a Gap button up and sun-washed shorts today.  His shoes are See Kai Run, but it we were at home instead of Camp I would have done his navy TOMS.  I'm pretty sure his shirt was from Goodwill and the shorts may have been as well.

Bea's wearing a Gymboree Venice Sweetie romper and a Dear Grace and Parker headband.  I bought the romper super-cheap shortly after Christmas.  It's a little big, but it has a "bunchy" design that makes it look like it doesn't fit well.  I wouldn't have paid full price for it, but under $3 was worth it.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Spring Break tank with a Hen & Chic skirt.  The tank was super-cheap at Gap this week, which was great because she's been needing a navy tank for a few outfits.  It's a 4-5 from Kid Girl, but seems to fit more like a 5 than a 4.

Red, White & Blue Week!

It's here!  With oddly colored pictures because I only pretend to know how to use my brother's camera!

Teddy is wearing a Gap Cannes tee with Gymboree Beach Crawler shorts and Old Navy flip-flops.  I found out this morning that he can put these flip-flops on my himself, which totally made my day.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Surf tank with crewcuts star shorts.  Blue lips courtesy of a red, white and blue popsicle she had in the bath last night.

Bea is wearing a Circo dress that was a baby gift to Tillie.  If I'm remembering correctly, it was from my friend Linds.  It looks just as cute on Bea.  We accessorized with a Dear Grace and Parker bow.  She'll probably wear one of these every day since I bought a three pack of red, white and blue bows that have stars on them.  They were half price during a facebook flash sale.  I couldn't resist.
