I'm Outnumbered

Elvis and I have been hanging out a lot. He and Zoe have the same sense of humor. And they like the same (as Zoe would say it) "muse-kick." They are like two goofy kids. We've had so much fun together. I love it.

She's been really good lately. With the exception of wanting to wear tooooo small of clothes. Most of the stuff still fits, but it's from when she was about three or four years old. Too short, too tight, or too hoochie. God bless school uniforms. I guess it's just paybacks to me because I had my own "unique" way of dressing when I was younger.

Remember Zoe's pantyhose? I LOVE those.

I don't mind funky or quirky dressing by kids, but hoochie - well it's not happening. Hopefully it never will. But it's what all the kids wear and is what is in the store.

We got rid of a lot of her small stuff yesterday at our yard sale. But I am going to donate the clothes of hers I don't like. Her dad bought most of them and they are just a bit too skimpy. Now he's got 2 other boxes to mail to her. If it's too hoochie - adios. I told her I will take her shopping and let her pick a few other things out if she wants. *sigh* God bless school uniforms.

Here is a "phish-face" picture from dinner the other night. Zoe took it herself.

I can do this. I'm surrounded by Phish. Phish who like Elvis.

Your assignment today is to cull your clothes. Winter is a'coming (sooner for some of you than here). It was cool yesterday to do that yard sale and get rid of old clothes and shoes and stuff. If you haven't worn it in a long while, think if you reeeealllly need it or if that particular tube top would look much better hanging on a hanger at the Salvation Army.

Pork chop.

So glad I don't have a girl. It's hard shopping for my neice. EVERYTHING is hoochie out there.

I have some soccer stuff up today!

I hope this Saturday is a terrific day for you! I pray that the weather is beautiful and that everything is wonderful for you and your family. What a terrific event and I'm sorry I won't be able to be there, but know I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Hate the hoochie, and believe me, with Leggs over here, it's awfully hard to find any skirts that aren't too short! I'm glad they came up with the tights look under the short skirts this year.

Sounds like things are going great! Miss you!

Cute Phish Face... I'm already ahead of you on the culling the closets thing:-)

I am so glad my daughter isn't into the "hoochie" look and the new fall look is long tunics and nicer stuff, so hopefully it will get better!!

Love the Phish! I hate the HOOCHIE stuff too. I am glad I'm not a teenager now and have to choose from all the styles today. Hey, I want to complete my assignment but I'm having trouble throwing away the tube top I wore when I was 8yrs. Just kidding!!! I actually took a load of children's clothing to the National Kidney Foundation last week.
