As a young adult, I would see scraggaly looking kids and think, "I would never let my kids out of the house like that," or "why can't they just wash their kid's face?," or "does it really take that long to put on clean clothes?" Well to all those mothers that I have ever judged, I would just like to say, "I had absolutely no idea...I"m so sorry." I usually remember to wash hands after meals or activities, but their faces are another story. I usually don't notice that they have crusted milk around their mouth or who knows what wiped all over their cheeks, until they have been presented to the public. The best part about it is, half the time I don't even wash it off. Lately, however, Kate has been into dressing herself, and she and I never seem to agree on what matches. Not that I'm a fashion icon by any means, but I have learned a thing or two about stripes and polkadots, and different shades of pink. Kate however, very logically, debates that stripes go with stripes and pinks go with pinks...so there you go, debate over.
Kara on the other hand comes out every 10 minutes with no clothes on. She then continues to complain that she's cold but still refuses to put clothes on. I just don't know what to do with her. At least those scraggaly kids in the stores had clothes on.

Oh, so true. At least you can get your girls to wear pants. Lily and I fight every morning because she must wear dresses ONLY, even when it's 50 degrees outside. Henry also has the same fashion sense as Kate...plaids, strips, prints, everything goes. He loves to wear red and green together.
What's wrong with the way Kate's dressed?
I'm sure Sydney wished I dressed her better, but I'm suddenly the stingiest mom ever...if she's not wearing one of your cute borrowed outfits, she's usually in a not-so-nice ensemble from a garage sale or hand-me-down. I just can't get myself to pay 30 bucks for an outfit she'll be grown out of in a couple months! So, yep, I'm one of those moms, too. But in my case, the fault is all mine, not the kid's.
For some reason Jadon likes to wear most of his shirts backwards. I usually let him - until we need to leave the house. Sometimes I can't get him to turn it around, so he goes out that way.
Sarina has recently discovered she likes being naked. And I mean COMPLETELY naked (diaper off and all) - I really need to potty train that girl. (sigh) But not 'til after Christmas.
BTW: Her mismatch isn't that bad. I've definitely seen worse.
if she loves being naked send her to my house I LOVE naked little kids
