Fall is Here

Fall has arrived!!! I love fall. Sweaters, football, leaves falling... it just the greatest time of year. Remember how fun it was going back to school in the Fall. You missed your friends. You were bored. My favorite was shopping for school clothes. I miss getting tons of new clothes just because it is Fall. Grace gets that privilege now. I am very proud to say that I have almost all of her new Fall clothes washed and ready to go. I have also been going through last year's things and pulling the things she can still wear. However I DREAD the chore of putting away the Summer things.

People always say this about their kids, but I am so amazed how grown up Grace is getting. She is sooooo tall. She has gone from wearing 12-18 mos clothes this summer to a 2T for fall. She still has a 12-18 butt, however she is just so long. There is no way she is wearing any pants, other than leggings, this fall.

She acts grown up too. She just cracked me up the other day. We were shopping and she had been in the stroller all day and I knew she needed to stretch her legs. We went in Old Navy and I got her out of the stroller while I looked at things for her. I looked over and she was standing at the low racks, not destroying things but moving the hangers like she was shopping. She did that the entire time we were in there. My child likes cell phones, computers, shopping. She is also noticeably partial to men. I could be in trouble.

Here are a few photos of Grace doing her favorite thing. Doesn't she look big?

I am so glad fall is here as well. Of course, it is still hot here, but I know the cooler weather is coming. Our girls are really big!!

I just said the other day (while TRYING to find jeans for her skinny little butt) "Well, Isabel will just have to wear leggings every day!" Just wanted you to know you are not alone. :)

Mia too is long. She needs a 3t extra slim. Know where I could get hold of those? I don't! I'm having visions of the sewing machine coming out. Along with the manual.

Grace DOES look grown up, and yeah, I think you've got quite the girlie girl on your hands.

And most of the reasons you're looking forward to fall, are the reasons I don't like it! Sweaters, leaves falling, going back to school, shopping for clothes...haha, oh well.

I love fall, too. Oh, and I hear you on the leggings for the winter. Petunia's butt still requires 3-6 months pants, but they're way too short. So, leggings (that fit more like pants than tight leggings) will be in order for the cooler months.

Gracie looks like such a big girl. I don't know what you feed her, but that child is growing like a bad weed. She's so pretty and she has some seriously long legs. Loved the story about her shopping excursion. I would have loved to have seen that.
