Beach Day!

M1 had a special day at preschool today...it was BEACH DAY! The directions were to send them in 'beach clothes' ON TOP of warm clothes. Hmmm...sounds like a fashion nightmare to me! So I dug around in the overflowing bin of clothes from the summer. (I know that you're surprised that my children have more clothes than they can possibly need.) ;) Anyway...I brought a few things upstairs to show my husband and he said, "It doesn't have to match, ya know?!" ...

WHAT?! You want me to send her into public with uncoordinated clothing? Umm...apparently he hasn't been paying attention for the last 10 1/2 years that we've known each other. She is GOING to match! Ha! If she is going to wear pants UNDER shorts, at least she should look kinda cute..right?!

This is what we (I) came up with...

Leggings proved to be a winner under shorts. I'm trying to think back to when I was little...did we have leggings? I'm picturing myself wearing real sweatpants (you know - the kind that are baggy but cinched at the ankles?!) Oh my!

If someone is going to have this crazy assignment...you couldn't look cuter than this... :)

Beach day calls for a 'pretend like you're surfing' picture.

We have had a great start to 2011 so far! And I count it as a success that I have updated this blog within the first month of the year. Hopefully this entry will get the ball rolling...
