1. My children have no warm weather clothes.

So off I went shopping(for my kids) I hate shopping for myself and while I was shopping it made me realize three things
1. Shopping for Reagan is so much more fun.
2. Shopping for Brody is so much easier.
3. I would much rather shop for my kids than myself.
Let me elaborate. For Reagan there are endless options of clothes in all colors, shapes and styles. There are flowers and polka dots and shorts and skirts and sun dresses and all kinds of stuff. Then there are shoes to go with everything, hairbows that have to be matched etc. etc. Maybe because she was my first child so I am use to shopping for girls clothes but I gravitate to the girls section everytime I shop... I could be going to buy something for Brody and end up buying Reagan 5 things and nothing for Brody thus making shopping for Reagan so much more fun.
When I shop for Brody however, there is not nearly the selection to start off with but then you are left with airplanes and dumptrucks, frogs and dogs, or dinasours. Not to mention that there arent nearly as many colors boys can wear. Red, blue, green, brown... and forget about shoes. He has one pair that pretty much goes with everything. Plus little boys pretty much wear khaki or denim shorts with everything so you buy 10 shirts, 2 pairs of khakis, 2 pairs of jean shorts and he is set for the summer thus making shopping for him much easier.
What is the point of this post... nothing really just an observation from a mother of both a boy and a girl. It really is so nice to have one of each.
Now if only I could get excited about shopping for myself...
These are just a few of the cute things they got... I would be embarrassed to show everything because well, as usual, I bought them to much. (but it was all on sale right?) =)

I have the EXACT same thing with Syd vs. Rob. Syd has SO many options of SUCH cute things. Rob however gets plain t-shirts & khaki shorts. I design him a bunch of shirts because I just HATE the stuff that's out there for boys
And I amen the comment about boys shoes. Rob has one brown pair & one blue. Plus a black pair for church. Syd has MILLIONS of shoes.
Cute clothes, I HATE shopping for me and I cant even imagine shopping for a girl....I'd be broke!
i was stupid and tried on a bathing suit yesterday - 4 weeks after giving birth. never do that. it is guaranteed you will be depressed the rest of the day and go home and eat a whole container of chocolate chip cookies! :) which won't help the bathing suit situation at all...
