Oh the joy. My one Emily friend (from bunko) is awesome, nice and generous! Plus, so is her daughter. Her daughter is 10, like Mads but instead of being a pygmy (like Mads) she is a super model. Which means she had loads of clothes that are too small for her and just right for Maddy. Her mom emailed me a couple of weeks ago saying she'd cleaned out her daughters closet and did we want a huge bag of clothes? HECK YEAH. In the bag there was oodles of darling stuff.


Like this wonderful dress, it's only problem is that it's not my size. I swear I want this dress. Maddy was doing the Hula, by the way.



And these darling polka-dot shorts and "PEACE DUDE" shirt.


a few swim options that fit her PERFECT, I think the one she's wearing was a dance costume but Mads LOVES it the most and is going to wear it to the pool.


These Levi shorts, and cute green tank. Posing optional.


And also these shorts and "AERO" shirt.

And lastly, these are the things we are saving for later. They are a tiny bit too big or just plain wintery, so we are keeping them safe for the new school year. Thanks Emily and your darling offspring for all the cute clothes, our school shopping is half done already.

It was Dr Seuss week at school. Wednesday was wacky clothes and hair day. This is what Maddy came up with. I actually made her take off a few accessories cuz I thought they might be distracting. ( I had 4 misspelled words in that tiny paragraph-5 if you count "cuz'--and probably "paragraph") I'm a special speller.

FYI that's a Chinese jump rope around her leg AND her waist. Plus also, we straightened half her hair. It was the coolest idea ever.

We brought a bin of Elasta Girl's old clothes out today, to see if any of them would fit Roo.

Elasta Girl started to dig through and found one of her favorite shirts, held it up in front of her and said:

"It's just so sad."

What's even sadder, is that Elasta Girl grew out of said shirt about a year ago, and it's gonna fit Roo in about a year. They are not 2 years apart, they are 5 and a half years apart.



It's just so sad.....
