Wish I could send you some of our Texas heat. Cute pictures of your adorable kids. I have twins and I dressed them alike a lot when they were little. They are 16 year old girls now – now more matchy-matchy.

I’m Kellan – nice to meet you. See you soon.

My step-daughter is seven and she is still in that creative dressing and accessorizing phase. Right now it mostly has to do with weather. Since it was rainy yesterday she was dolled up in too small pants and shirt, poncho, rain poncho, rain boots, umbrella, mismatched gloves and some strange hat that I can’t figure out where it came from. She also had the assortment of bracelets and hair do-dads. I don’t think my little boy understands…as long as he’s wearing his “cool” pants, he’s fine, oh and anything with a dino on it.

I’m glad I didn’t have to see that movie.

Oh, my goodness. Where to start? I’ll take connubial utter cluelessness and give you an amen. It was almost 15 years ago for us, and I have to say that it’s good things get better with time. THAT one in particular.

And I love the “I want to be a princess” and “I like to dress like a pioneer.” That totally sums up my daughter – only she likes to dress like a hoochie mama princess. I’m trying to temper that desire. Pioneer is a definitely a better look.

Karen — yes, the clothing fight is not one I want to fight, except it has to be relatively modest. Sometimes I feel like I spend all my time telling the girls to pull their skirt down so I can’t see their panties. THAT is the life, no?

Marianne — Yep. But I love the half-closed lids on the other one even more. She looks so dissipated.

Suburbancorrespondent — So, I guess I should be watching movies before they get to the dollar theater, if I want to be up on what’s being said about them. Weird — I didn’t even connect the “a person’s a person” thing to pro-life-ness. Shows that you see what you’ve been thinking about anyway.

The movie created a conflict in the homeschooling community. Because many in the community (not all! Don’t jump on me!) are pro-life, they liked the “a person’s a person, no matter how small.” But of course the kangaroo caricature infuriated all of us. You just can’t win.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting at my place!

First of all, “I Want to Be a Princess” in snow boots in the middle of June is a riot! I’m a huge subscriber to letting the kids express their creativity and independence through dress (which is why my girls are often roaming the grocery stores with their shoes on the wrong feet, wearing layers of silky pajamas). Second, I LOVE the little “wino” face – ha ha ha!
