Sunday Best

We were at Costco a few weeks back and of course the kids have to browse at all the cool stuff. 

But the cool stuff isn't what you might think.

Both kids stopped dead in their tracks when we walked past the fancy dresses and pant suits. 

They begged and pleaded and cried and promised they would wear them every single week to church.

Luckily for them, they actually did both need some new church clothes. Pearl because she keeps getting taller. And Fern because, well, the kid has never once had a white shirt or church slacks.... at some point you have to graduate from shorts and Polo shirts, right?

I can't tell you how excited they were! The second they got home, they had to try on their new clothes. Jeff was less than amused, thinking what I was thinking, yeah, we'll see how excited they are come Sunday.

Well, Sunday has come and gone and at least one those pipsqueaks is still ecstatic to wear his new church clothes, complete with "me first bow tie!" He loves that little bow tie and vest! And I must admit he looks pretty dang cute all dressed up in his Sunday best. Even with the Spiderman rain boots, gum sticking out of his mouth, and shark umbrella. {He has since decided it's more fun to wear his black cowboy boots as church shoes}

Pearl? Well, she's into trying on at least four different outfits everyday while crying and screaming at me that she hates all of her clothes. Sigh. I thought we had a few years before that battle started. 

Goofy kids. I wouldn't trade this picture full of pipsqueak personality for anything.
