Budding Fashionista!

The girls and I had a very busy day which included lunch at El Sombrero and shopping at thrift stores!  Becca found two (new to her) pairs of skinny jeans, some army boots for the kids adventures in the great outdoors, and she scored big time on these awesome Madden high tops!  They were in perfect shape and for only $5...right in her spending budget!
(I had a pair of these back in the late 80's...HA!)

When we got home Becca pulled out her wardrobe and started putting together new outfits.  She was blessed with two new bags of clothing from...actually I have no idea who...but she sat me down in the living room and started going through the new stuff and her old stuff and came up with some new fresh looks!!!  She loves putting clothing together and coming up with new things.  She has a lot of fun doing this and actually puts outfits together for her younger siblings when they let her. 
This was one of her new outfits.  The brown leggings and skirt she had tucked away waiting for a top to be able to wear.  When she pulled this sweater out she was ecstatic, it was the perfect thing to pull the little bit of yellow in the skirt out! 

Of course she has to pass all outfits by her daddy who gets the final say in what goes out the door....he's a little protective about his girls....this outfit passed, but even though she tried bless her little heart she still isn't going to get heels out of the house until she is older....much older!  They are really cute cheetah heels though!

When did this happen?

Tonight Johnston and I were sitting on the couch laughing at Becca who was being such a goof.  Becca claimed that her foot was bigger then Johnston's which then led to measuring of feet.  Of course I knew Johnston's feet were bigger then Beccas (12) and even Max (14) or Morgans(15), he passed them this Summer.  Then he wanted to measure his foot against mine, so when we put our feet on the board to measure them this is what I found!!!!  Can it be that my eleven year olds feet are just about to pass mine?  I mean...I have big feet and I am not ashamed to admit it...but when did Johnston's feet grow this big and what does this mean.  I mean he is only ELEVEN!  He has years of growing left...lots of growing...YIKES!
(It seems like only yesterday this foot fit in the palm of my hand and now...wow!)

  Now that I'm writing this I realize yet again how quickly my kids are growing up. In the blink of an eye they will all be grown, spreading their wings and moving on into their future lives. 
 Loving every second we have!
