Fashion Police



This outfit gets worn everyday, as you can tell by the holes in the knees
I didn't know that socks went with high heels

Please don't report me to What not to Wear, I know we have a problem and that's always the first step. As you can see my kids think they are very keen when it comes to fashion. Every morning it's the same battle and every morning I lose. So I gave up, at least when it comes to wearing clothes around the house (which honestly Brynly ends up stripping after about an hour in clothes). I have them cornered when it comes to school and church, I get to chose then. It's still a battle then too. I never thought this would be a issue. I thought that young kids don't care what they wear so I get to pick out everything. In fact a week ago Brynly answered the front door in underwear and her gym shoes. The crazy thing is you would think they just run down and throw random clothes on. Nope, they really put a lot of time into it. Everyday Bryn unloads her closet in order to pick her outfit out for the day. Jaxon spends at least 15 minuets in his room deciding what to wear. I don't know where I went wrong as a mother, I'm just hoping this is a stage and they grow out of it.

October

Now tell me that skeleton costume isn't creepy!

Brynly's new mode of transportation


Yes that's right it's been a full month and I haven't posted! What can I say, I've been lazy......well that's not the whole truth, I've recently started watching Criminal Minds and now I'm addicted. Whew! I said it, yes I'm addicted. I'll seek help after I watch all four seasons. Don't worry mom I've been doing productive things this month too.


Jaxon finished his soccer season this last month in Preston. I really liked the way Preston put together their soccer season, it was a of fun. Jaxon keeps getting better and better, now I'm to the point where I hide from him when he wants to go outside and play soccer. My ego can't handle getting outrun by a five year old. He had a incredible coach for his soccer season, and hopefully he'll get the same one next year.

Brynly had her birthday on the 3rd of October. She's now three, but she's been telling everybody she's three for about six months, so we've finally caught up. She's told to mailman, the nice people at the bank, and basically anybody that will listen, that she was going to have a huge party. Then she invited all of them to come. Unfortunately, they all couldn't make it, but I think she had a pretty huge party.

Halloween was quite the event this year. Jaxon decided he was going to be a skeleton, so we bought him a skeleton costume ( a really creepy one too). We took the skeleton costume home, Jaxon tried it on and decided it didn't fit right (I thought girls did this). So I spent the next three days talking Jaxon into wearing his costume. Finally, after everybody told him how cool it was (obviously my opinion didn't count), he wore it. Brynly was easy ( I thought boys did this), she was a princess. We boycotted the "Trunk or Treat" this year, I told the kids they had to work for their candy. So after a block of trick or treating and completely missing the carnival ( I didn't know it got over a seven), we finished our Halloween celebration at Big J's.


After I finish watching the four seasons of Criminal Minds I will post again!!!!
