Fashion Forward?

It would appear that our girls were born with their own, unique sense of fashion.

Madeline recently discovered her sister's rain boots.  She thinks they are the epitome of cool.  We think you can tell.

Kathleen, on the other hand, is in love (love) with her "fairy skirts." She wears a tutu just about every chance she gets. She asks for one as soon as she wakes in the morning and then wears it all day long. (Mama and Daddy narrowly talked her out of wearing one on the adventure to the Children's Discovery Museum.) Sometimes she even asks to sleep in one at night. We're pretty much used to this now, and sometimes we almost forget that it must seem strange to other people that we'll take our preschooler to the commissary in a tutu. (Our mantra: pick your battles.) Every now and then, though, even we see the humor.

(In case you were wondering, that's pajamas, a "fairy skirt," a bathrobe, and a backpack. 

She's ready to face the day, people.)

Clowning around? That seems to be a universal trait in our little circus...
