I won't go broke on clothes...

because Jonah wants nothing to do with them. He was in desperate need of new jammies so I came home with some cool batman p.j.'s and the kid is refusing to wear them. In fact, he's put a ban on all future new clothes. I can't say this surprises me really. Josh is pretty much the same way when it comes to handling even life's smallest changes. When I get him a new shirt he hates it for a day and then it's his favorite the next. These fickle men in my life! When Josh and I tried to explain to Jonah about growing up and out of old clothes he just said, "I'll get new clothes when I'm bigger, like when I'm fifteen!"

We'll save a bundle on Charlotte too because she doesn't like the frilly, expensive stuff. I learned this when I tried to put a poofy dress on her last Sunday and she consequently threw herself on the floor in hysterics, ripped at the dress and through tears shouted repeatedly, "No! No! No!"

Maybe Ellie will make up for the former two.

Frilly...check. Poofy...check.

And finally a little Halloween montage of my sweet babes!

There's a smile on this girl's face now (a bag full of candy can sometimes have that effect), but believe me--this was not the case just 10 minutes prior. Note the poofy-ness of this sweet little butterfly contraption. Enough said.

An exhausting day in the life of a pirate.

I just remembered this one from two years ago. I probably don't even need to mention that I was not providing parental supervision at the time...that would be Josh.
