Before I begin this post, can we all just stare at Solly as he rocks 6-12 month clothing?? He seems pretty happy about it, while his mom is almost fainting at how fast he’s growing!
After spending the morning and early part of the afternoon at my parents, we headed to the city for some shopping.
With the great clothing sort, we’ve discovered where there are some holes in our kids wardrobes. Dekker and Laela, being the oldest boy and oldest girl, don’t have too much in the next size up. We’re not going without, don’t worry. I’m not complaining. But its a nice excuse to go buy a few things for the upcoming cooler months. Rowan has Dekker’s hand me downs, but the seasons were different, so he’s got a lot of tshirts. So we decided to head in for a few minor grocery items, and a couple of clothing items, just so we’re not caught off guard on these cooler days.
The shop was a great success!! In true show-and-tell fashion, I took pictures of everything, minus a couple pairs of underwear and a new pair of jeans I bought for myself. And a lipstick, as usual. Behold! The adorable things my kids will wear to welcome fall!
This is obviously not the most detailed picture, but these are all long sleeved shirts for Dekker for school. He currently wears mostly tshirts, and while they fit, they won’t for very much longer. So these will be perfect. A couple of them were $10, most were $6.
The first shirt here is Rowans, and yes, the orange one in Dekker’s stash is the same. Then thats ons long sleeved shirt for Laela, and one tshirt. She has literally one tshirt that fits nicely under a hoodie, so she could use another. And then two pairs of leggings. Because sweater dresses.
We bought Rowan a fall hat/toque when we were in Edmonton a few weeks ago, and today, we stocked up the rest of the kids. Rowan’s is the same as the top one, only a little bit smaller and grey rather than blue. They’re all gonna look sooooo cute in these!
These are my favorite purchases for the day! My kids never really wear shoes until they can walk, but mostly because I can never find any that stay on! As the weather starts to get a little bit cooler, I’d feel much better if Solly had some shoes. And these stay on!!! Which is a HUGE win! And fringy boots for Laela, which I am THRLLED about. I wanted some for Rowan too but Brady says they’re too girly. I guess thats ok…
Seriously, I feel surprisingly excited for fall this year. I couldn’t tell you why, because I love the warm weather that comes with summer, and I know how short lived this season is around here, but I am very positively anticipating autumn, and I don’t want to try to explain it away. Embrace whats coming!
