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!)

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.

Greenhouse

It wasn't really warm enough for dresses and shorties, but we were going to see flowers and figured the car and greenhouse would be warm enough -- and they were.

Sisters in matching dresses.  I've been dreaming about this since I found out Beatrix was a girl.  Bea is wearing the Matilda Jane Wendy dress my mom bought for Tillie when she was this age.  Tillie is wearing a size 4 that I bought on Craigslist a couple years ago.  It's getting too short, but it works with shorties and I wasn't going to miss an opportunity for matching Matilda Jane!  Tille's shorties are DreamSpun and you can't see Beatrix's blue dotted Tea leggings.

Not to be left out, Teddy is dressed in Mighty Acorns(Matilda Jane's old boy line).  I found the tee at Village Kids last year and the jacket was Tillie's when she was little. He's 3 going on 15 in this picture and it kills me.

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.

Mall Errands

The two littles and I had breakfast at Panera this morning since we had some errands to run at the mall.  Beatrix wore an Old Navy bodysuite, KPea knot top(50% at Village Kids!), Gap skinny jeans, See Kai Run mary janes and a Dear Grace & Parker pinwheel headband.

Ted-Ted wore a Mini-Boden robot tee, gray Carter's skinny jeans and TOMS.

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.

Children's Museum!

My cousin had some extra passes to the Children's Museum that expire tomorrow that she couldn't use.  We happily took them off her hands!  It had been about a year since my kids had last visited and they were so excited.

Teddy wore a Mini-Boden robot tee, crewcuts short-sleeved button-up, Gap skinny jeans and TOMS.

Tillie wore a crewcuts tank and cardigan, Gap skinny jeans and Circo cat shoes.

Beatrix is wearing a Gap Wayfarer top and cardigan with Gap skinny jeans.

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. :)

Lazy Saturday

We have a lot of randomness going on today.  The kids stayed home all day, so I let them wear whatever they wanted.

I helped Teddy pick out a crewcuts car tee and Gap jersey pants.  Beatrix is wearing a Hanna Andersson playdress I got at Goodwill.  Tillie is wearing an Old Navy tunic with boutique leggings.  Not her best match, but whatever.

They were all trying on their new Zulily TOMS that arrived this morning.

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.

Still Winter

I'm kind of over the kids winter clothes and it shows in my posting.  I was also busy this week, so I didn't get the chance to take pictures, much less upload them.  We went to a school auction with my parents tonight and here's what the kids wore.

Tillie - Striped crewcuts top(Goodwill -- it had a lot of stains when I bought it but I got them out!), Gap jeans, TOMS, Dreamspun bow and a necklace I made.

Teddy - Next rocket tee, red Gap skinny jeans, navy TOMS

Bebe - Gap Love Collection chambray dress, Tea Collection leggings, Livie & Luca Minnie shoes(garage sale!)

Navy

Navy is my favorite color for January.  It's kind of a pre-pre-spring thing and it's just a color I love.

Teddy's wearing a Mini-Boden snake tee, an Okaïdi short sleeved button-up, Gap jeans and navy TOMS.

 Tillie's in a crewcuts top I got on super-sale when I worked there because it had a stain on it. I soaked it and soaked it and finally got it out! I love this top. I've been putting it on her since she was 3.5. Jeans are Gap, and seem to be getting a little short. My mom bought her the TOMS last year, but after we took the picture she said they're uncomfortable. They're a 9, so they probably are too small. She wore silver cat ballet flats instead.

Beatrix is wearing a Gap Fall Field Guide body-double and Gap Greenhouse jeans.  Kind of a lot of polka dots, but Tim says a baby can't wear too many.

Gardens Day!

Tillie had the day off of school and our Gardens' membership expires at the end of this month. It was obvious what we had to do today.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Sag Harbor cardigan, crewcuts short-sleeved button-up, Gap jeans and navy TOMS.  Tillie's wearing an Old Navy dress and leggings with Jumping Bean boots and a Little Sweet Pea Crochet bow.  Beatrix is wearing and Old Navy dress and tights with See Kai Run mary janes and a Little Sweet Pea Crochet headband.

Uninspired Sunday

Usually there's at least one outfit I'm excited about my kids wearing to church.  Today was not one of those days.  Dressing for mid-January is the worst.  Christmas is over so holiday outfits are out and it's way too soon(and cold) for new spring things.  It's also to early for Valentine's inspired outfits.  So, this is what I came up with for today.

Tillie's wearing a Next dress. Gap Surf tank, Old Navy leggings, Jumping Bean boots and a Dreamspun bow.

Teddy's wearing a Janie & Jack cardigan, Gap button-up, Gap skinny jeans and navy TOMS.

Beatrix's wearing a Janie & Jack cardigan, Gap Ivy League dress, Old Navy tights, See Kai Run shoes and a Dear Grace & Parker headband.

Blue and Cream

We had some great coordinating going on today for church!  Tillie was the only one with a new outfit.  She's wearing a Mae Li Rose sweater from DreamSpun, Old Navy leggings(size 6-7, she's not too tall, but has long legs) and Circo cat shoes.

Teddy's wearing Gap sweater, shirt and cords with a Crazy 8 tie.  Beatrix is wearing a Gap dress and shoes with and Old Navy bodysuit and tights.

Christmas Day!

The kids have all worn their Christmas outfits quite a few times this season, but I was able to shake up Beatrix and Teddy's outfits a bit.

Teddy really wanted to wear his "doggy shirt that says off to Grandma's", but it was dirty and in the wash because he wore it on Christmas Eve.  I remembered I had this Jumping Beans moose shirt from my cousin and I dug in the 3t bin before church to find it.  He was very happy with it and thought it was hilarious that the moose was wearing a scarf.  We layered it over a Gap button-up and red skinny jeans.  He wanted his TOMS, but I think his camel boots would have been a cute match to the moose!

Beatrix wore an Old Navy dress with Trumpette tights.  I bought the tights when I was pregnant with Teddy because they were 70% off.  They never worked for him, but I'm glad I save them!  Unfortunately, I put them in a separate bin in November and forgot about them until this week.  I wish she would have gotten to wear them more!

Tillie wore her DreamSpun dress that has been well documented this month.  I'm hopeful that it will still fit her next year!

A Quick Gardens Stop

I had a few errands on the other side of town, so I decided to make it an "event" and go to the Gardens.  I let the kids watch Elf in the car and they thought it was awesome!

Tillie wore a Jumping Beans top and Cherokee tutu skirt with crewcuts tights and Circo cat shoes.

Teddy's first choice of shirt (a size 3 Tea Collection tee) was too big, so he settled for this Tea fox shirt.  It's layered over a Rabbit Moon button-up (50% off at OUAC) that doesn't really match, but he didn't want to take it off.  It is pretty soft, actually.  Gap jeans and TOMS complete his outfit.

Today we made Bea's Zutano swing top even more festive by adding Christmas BabyLegs,  She's also wearing a Carter's bodysuit and Old Navy tights.  Her bow is Dear Grace and Parker.
