Layers, still.

For garage saling today, Bebe is wearing a Tea Collection dress(OUAC), Gap jeans and Robeez.

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.

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. :)

Sweet Girl

My sweet girl is wearing a Matilda Jane Cupcake dress that my friend Laura found at Goodwill!  Even though it's not anywhere close to short-sleeved spring weather, I thought this dress worked well layered over a Carter's bodysuit and Next tights.  Her shoes are Robeez and her headband is Dear Grace & Parker.

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

Hand-Me-Downs

Today Beatrix is wearing a sweater that was mine, Carter's bodysuit that was Tillie's, Gap skinny jeans that are just hers and Robeez boots that were Teddy's.  The kids thought this was so funny.

Boho Stripes

Beatrix is wearing Teddy's hand-me-downs today!  His (outlet) Gap Boho striped romper.  (Let's ignore the fact that Ted wore it at 12 months...  It is a little big on her.)  She's also wearing his old Robeez booties, but the Dear Grace & Parker glitter bow is all hers.

Sweet Girls

Beatrix is wearing a Ralph Lauren romper I got at the thrift store.  It has embroidered ballet shoes on it.

Tillie's wearing a Matilda Jane Westside outfit with Gap fox socks and Osh Kosh shoes.

Stargyle and Flowers

It's so much easier to take outfit pictures now that Beatrix can sit.  Today she's wearing a Kicky Pants outfit I got at a garage sale, Robeez and a Dear Grace & Parker headband.

Teddy's wearing an H&M Stargyle cardigan, crewcuts polo and Gap jeans.

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!

El Mar

Preschool's theme this week is "the sea".  Tillie has a lot of nautical things from last year's crewcuts line that were perfect: Anchor tee, chambray skirt and cropped anchor leggings.  I would have had her wear sandals, but it's still a bit cool and I thought they might blister her at school since she hasn't worn any yet this year.

I thought Teddy needed in on this week's theme as well.  What do you know, but she even learned about "pulpo" today.  Teddy really likes this Gap octopus shirt(garage sale).  He's also wearing shark Robeez(garage sale) and Crazy 8 skinny jeans(thrift store).

ROAR!

Teddy loves animals.  He's especially fond of anything that will roar.  I found these CachCach overalls at the Twice Nice thrift store during their 10 for $8 season clearance last week.  He's also wearing a Carter's bodysuit and Robeez boots.

Today was blue day at school for Tillie.  She was to dress in blue and bring something blue for show and tell.  On purple day she brought Emmy wearing a purple dress.  Today she insisted Emmy come again in a blue outfit.  It's kind of weird because Aggie is definitely her favorite doll.  She's wearing a blue Mini-Boden popcorn tee, navy crewcuts ruffle skirt, navy and white striped Old Navy leggings and a blue seersucker Lands' End clip.

(For the record, she named all of her dolls.  I have no idea where she came up with the names.)

Knights!

Friday was half off clothing at my local thrift store.  I happened upon these two Calvin College tees and I couldn't pass them up.  50¢ each?!  What makes it funny is that we already own the shirt Tillie is wearing in another 3t.  I just couldn't leave it there.  This one seems to have been washed and dried on a higher temp than I do because it's a little smaller.  Teddy's is a 2t, it's a little big, but I wanted them to wear matching shirts because Calvin started tournaments today!

Teddy's also wearing Old Navy jeans and Robeez.  Tillie is wearing a crewcuts ruffle skirt, Cherokee knee socks and Circo Fuggs.

Just Clothes

There's nothing special about these outfits today.  Both of their t-shirts are from Goodwill even!  Perfect for running to Camp, hanging at home and another Goodwill trip.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Gosford Park S'mores tee, Gap jeans and Robeez boots.  I'm sure you're all shocked I bought this tee.  Maybe it will still fit at Camp this summer.

Tillie's wearing a random American Apparel 'Mm' tee.  It's a 4, so she'll be able to wear it for a while.  This, however, is not a shirt I'll be able to pass down to another daughter.  (Maybe it will fit their friend Mabel when Tillie's done with it!)  She has it layered over a Cherokee tee.  She also picked out a navy crewcuts skirt and rainbow BabyLegs.

Summer 2012 Staff Kid Shirts

Um, yes.  You read that right.  The staff kid shirts didn't come in until after we had moved home from the summer.  Because of that, I just ordered sizes that would fit the kids next summer.  Teddy's is a 2t(24m was only available in a bodysuit and I wanted a tee) and Tillie's is a 3t.  Oh, then there's the fact that they're wearing them today.  We had to take a new staff picture because the original was lost. Tillie and Teddy weren't in the first picture, so this was a bonus for me!

Teddy's is layered over a Camp acorn thermal and Tillie's wearing and Old Navy tee, crewcuts skirt and Gap Valentine tights.  W e had to find some way to girly up the boxy too big fit of the tee.

And I've now used this picture on both of my blogs and facebook.  I love it though.

Christmas Monster Remix

We're making the most out of all our Christmas themed clothes over here this week.  Teddy wore his Gap I Want Candy thermal monster tee again today, this time with Gap jeans and a Gap Military Prep cardigan.  The cardigan is kind of random over this thermal, but there's something about it that I like.  I think his outfit last time he wore this was cuter though.  I got these Robeez boots for $1 at a garage sale when I was pregnant with him.  They're size 6-12m and fit this small footed child just fine.  I like them because I can be lazy and not look for matching socks.

Yes, I think he knows how cute he is.

Yard Work

This afternoon I dressed the kids in some hooded sweatshirts and took them outside to rake some leaves.  Yep, hooded sweatshirts.  It's not something you see everyday over here!  They're both Jumping Beans brand from Kohl's.  Teddy is wearing Cherokee jeans and Tillie's are from The Children's place.  Both pairs of jeans are from garage sales.

Trick or Treat!

We went Trick or Treating in downtown Holland today, which was perfect since it's suppose to rain on Halloween.  I bought Teddy his Carter's dog costume at Meijer last year after Halloween at 75% off.  When I pulled out the Halloween costumer bucket I realized I didn't buy anything for Tillie.  I figured my holidays of coordinating their costumes are limited, so I wanted to keep it up while I still can.  A couple weeks ago I posted on facebook for a costume for Tillie if Teddy was going to be a dog.  My friend Katie suggested that Tillie be a lady and Teddy could be her dog.  When I gave Tillie this option it took a day, but then she proudly told anyone who asked, "I'm going to be a fancy lady and Teddy's going to be my dog."

As it turns out I bought a white faux fur size 4 coat at a thrift store when Tillie was 1.  For 99¢ I couldn't resist it for dress-up.  It's hung in the back of our coat closet ever since then.  I wanted her to wear a hat, but I didn't have one.  I kept checking Goodwill, but never found any hats other than the random ball cap.  Randomly 2 weeks ago my mom watched my kids one morning while I ran errands.  I rarely do this so I made the most of my time and stopped at 2 Goodwills.  What do you know, I found the most perfect "fancy lady hat.  It was too small for me, so I knew it would be great for Tillie.  It had a strap to hold it on her head and it was only $4.99.  When I found the navy had I decided to just let her wear the navy crewcuts dress.  It's currently her favorite item of clothing and asks to wear it whenever she sees it.  The necklaces are Gymboree and crewcuts.  Fancy ladies always have a lot of accessories, you know.  Tillie actually hates the coat, but it was cold out so she begrudgingly accepted it.

I even did her hair "fancy" using this pin I accidentally found this morning.  It would work better with longer hair, but it was still darling.

This is the second year in a row that I've picked out Teddy's costume first and coordinated Tillie to him.  Next year, if they both agree, I already have Tillie's costume.  I'm pretty sure Tillie will love it and that I'll have no problem convincing a 2 year old to be what I want him to.  You'll just have to wait a whole year to find out!

Stripedy-Stripes

Teddy is wearing a striped Tea Collection hooded tee I found at Goodwill for 99¢ yesterday.  I couldn't believe it when I saw it.  It's even cuter on him than I expected. He's wearing it with his Gap Jeans and Robeez.

Hooded Cardigan

It was a lovely afternoon, so while Tim and Tillie did some yardwork, I set Teddy up in the backyard for some pictures.  He's a much more willing model than Tillie.  You know, he still laughs when I do crazy things and doesn't run away.  I have my brother's Canon T3i for a few days.  I really have no idea what I'm doing, but it's so fun to mess around with.

Teddy's worn this Gap sweater before, but I just love it.  First of all, it's a sweater that actually runs true to size.  Is it just me, or do sweaters usually run larger?  Second, those cute little bears.

He's wearing it with his Gap jeans, a Carter's bodysuit, Robeez and an Inspired by Finn amber necklace.
