High fashion....

Abigail went to a birthday party on Friday night.

Party clothes have changed a lot from what I thought they were!!

Really, the theme was to dress crazy. Things you would never normally wear together.

Thank goodness she wouldn't normally wear these things together. Blech!!!

Little Fashionista

Kirsten has been wanting a pair of gloves with the fingers cut off. (Apparently it's all the rage.....again.....remember the 80's?)



Yesterday after they got home from school (Dax picked them up) she showed her Dad a black pair of gloves and asked if she could cut them.


He told her he didn't care.


She's very proud of the finished product.






There was only one teeny-tiny little problem with her project.




They're my gloves.

And I don't have leg warmers

The other night when Addison was in the shower, she was rinsing her hair off to one side so that she could see when all the shampoo was gone.



And then it hit her!



That's a great way to wear her hair.



She told me herself how cute she looked with it like that.



So yesterday she wore her hair to school like this:




I thought she just needed some leg warmers to go with it and she'd be set.....but I didn't have any.


This morning when I dropped them off at school I saw another little girl with her hair in a side ponytail. I guess Addison's a trend setter after all.



Who knew?

Turning point...

I knew this day would come, but I really wasn't quite ready for it. I thought we would have a few more years before it became an issue. I don't know what to do. I may have to pull the kids out of public school and home school them. (Of course, I would have to hire someone to come to my home and school them. lol)




What's happened to bring this on, you ask?




Wyatt informed me yesterday that he is aware that the shirts he's been wearing (and buying with his own allowance) are not real Under Armor shirts. Another kid at school has pointed out to him the difference between name brand and what's on sale at Target!!!




Can you see now how horrible this is?




I'm sure that eventually he'll tell his sisters about this too.....then it's all over. We'll be done for.




I guess it means that they won't buy into this being a cool look either.






Do you think there's any hope that off brands will become the next cool thing? That's all I have left to hope for.
