Silly Sock Day

Tillie's class earned 15 points so they celebrated with a silly sock day.  I wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but she was okay with the mix and matched Gap socks I gave her as an option.  (Obviously just a pair of cat socks is NOT silly.)  Her shirt is crewcuts and her jeans are Gap.

Beatrix wore a One Kid cardigan and Zutano dress I got at Once Upon a Child's $1 sale.  Her tights are Old Navy hand-me-downs from Tillie.

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.

I love red.

It's not red and green, but Beatrix still looks festive in a Zutano swing top, Old Navy bodysuit, Gap Galicia leggings and Gap boots with a Dear Grace & Parker bow.

Gorgeous

The weather today is just perfect.  It's cooling off again for the rest of the week, but at least we can enjoy today!

Tillie's wearing a Hanna Andersson playdress I got at Costco last week.  There were a couple of patterns, but I was happy when she picked the on that was my favorite!  (I was sure she would go for the purple with polka dots.)  I didn't realize her smile was so wonky -- I quickly snapped this as we were walking into school.

Ted-Ted is wearing a Mini-Boden tee I got on clearance with a voucher last August.  His jeans are Gap and his shoes are Gap JunkFood.

Bea is wearing a Zutano hat/dress/leggings set I bought on Amazon with a crazy discount before I knew if we were having a girl or not.  We took the hat off so she could soak up some Vitamin D outside.

Cozy

Even though it's warmed up a bit, it's still pretty freakin' cold out!  Tillie's wearing a Zutano owl fleece dress I got at a garage sale this summer.  It was $2, but when I got home I noticed a big "water stain" on the front.  Usually water stains are actually grease stains and they're pretty easy to remove with blue Dawn dish soap.  I got it out no problem!  Her leggings are Gymboree and bow is DreamSpun.

I know, this is a totally awesome picture.

"You're in the way, Mom."

Teddy just wants to see around me.  I just want a picture of this adorable outfit.  This is a great example of a thrifting outfit.  The Crazy 8 shoes were 99¢ at the World Mission Thrift Store.  He LOVEs these red shoes.  They're a 4 and they won't fit him for much longer, but he like them so much that I still bought them.  The blue striped button-up is Teddy Lu brand.  I don't know where this brand is from, but it appears to be European.  It was 99¢ at Goodwill.  It's a cute shirt and I couldn't resist buying something with his name on the tag.  The short sleeved shirt is Zutano, it was also 99¢ at Goodwill.  The jeans are the ones he's been wearing all winter from Old Navy, but I know I picked them up for less than $5 last summer.

He looks like a million bucks for under $8!
(This picture doesn't really do the outfit justice.  He looks extra-adorable today, even if he is growing a mullet.)

Sunny Saturday

After Tillie picked out this pink sparkle star crewcuts tee she declared it "Star Day!"  I'm not sure what that involves beyond wearing a star snap clip as well.

She's also wearing a Cherokee polka-dotted layering tee and crewcuts bootcut jeans.

Teddy's wearing a white Carter's bodysuit, a red and white striped Zutano tee and OshKosh overalls.

They both declined my offer for socks and shoes.  I think that will have to change if we do end up leaving today.

Transportation

I bought this Zutano romper at a garage sale last summer in case I had a boy.  I love all the different vehicles on it, even if Tillie calls all of them "race cars".  My mini-van?  A race car in her book.  I promise I don't really drive that fast.

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.

Comfy Cotton

We ran a few errands this morning, but it will mostly be a stay-at-home day today.  (At least that's the current plan!)

Teddy is wearing a Zutano outfit I bought at a garage sale this summer for about $2 or so.  It's a 0-6month size, but it fits pretty well.  If I were cloth diapering him already the pants would be a great fit over them.  Patterned pants and a solid top?  Not a look I could pull off.  It looks super-cute on our little Tedster though!

Tillie is also rocking some stripes today.  This Hanna Andersson dress is from Costco last year.  I correctly predicted that a 2.5-3 year old would be in love with the colors and twirl of this dress.  "Mama!  It's a rainbow 'pincess' dress!"

Teddy's First Outfit

As Teddy's "coming home from the hospital outfit" we have a cute kimono bodysuit and cocoa hat and pants from Zutano's Forest Fun line.   The cream newborn socks are from The Children's Place.
