Thank you, Aunt Linda!!

Our good friend Linda loves to spoil our kids with new clothes. She's a master at bargains/sales and has quite a talent for shopping! The kids were all thrilled with all the new things she sent for them and wanted to put on a fashion show for her. Linda asked me to give her my kids sizes 2 "shipments" ago, so here they are!!

Benjamin was delighted with his jersey. He wants to wear it 24-7. Literally. He sleeps in it, wears it the next day, sleeps in it and then I have to peel from his body to wash it. It is getting chilly here and I made him wear it today with long sleeve shirt underneath. I wanted to put him in tights so he wouldn't freeze, but he's too smart (and manly) for that. Dang it! I hate it when they get smart. Luckily, he's smart enough to mop and helped me for about an hour today. What a stylish helper I have!

Ben is a size 4, all around.

Katrina loves her new dress! There were so many cute things that fit her! She rarely gets anything new, she pretty much has to wears her sister's hand me downs. The clothes you sent, Linda, meant more to her than the other kids! She really was thrilled! She wears size 6 in tops and pants.

Little Miss Rachel is quite the fashionista! She had me straighten her hair for her "photo shoot!" She loves this dress, it's a cute style for her. She wears a size 10 all around! She loves trying things on, more than the other kids and had a great time going throught the piles of clothes with Grandma.

Josh is a size 8. He liked the clothes you sent, but wouldn't model for me. He has too much pride for that, I guess. Maybe he overheard me telling Ben to put on tights or something!

Emma buys her own clothes with her babysitting/birthday money. She is pretty much a teenager and won't even let me think about picking things out for her. Too bad. I have great taste, as do you, Linda. Oh well, her loss.

This is your untraditional Thank You card, Linda!! We really appreciate all you sent. We shared all that didn't fit with the other 8 Idiart grandkids and found a home for everything!!

I love receiving clothes packages in the mail. It's like they're full of gold. Saves you so much money. Katrina looked so sweet in her new dress.

I can relate to Benny's single outfit obsession - that is my Spence too. I have to trick him into washing his favorite outfit.
The kids look so cute.

Cute clothes...and I am always impressed by the great photos that you take. The pictures of Katrina and Rachel look professional!! :)

P.S. I just wanted you to know that I posted several posts today/yesterday. I'm trying to get caught up. But I remember from last time that your side bar list only shows you the most recently published post. I thought I'd tell you that so that you don't miss any! :)
