I’m feeling a little bitter tonight.
See everyone’s doing all this Back-to-School shopping, and talking about the cute, pink, frilly frocks they’re buying.
Meanwhile I’m out sorting through jeans trying to decide which ones will be less likely to get a hole in the knee, and explaining to David why he doesn’t need yet another T-shirt with Woody from Toy Story on it.
Shopping just isn’t the same when you have boys.
And then there are you moms out there who make the cutest stinkin’ things for your little girls to wear. I’m the first to admit that I’m not very crafty. But making frothy, polka-dot, cotton candy dresses might be good motivation to learn. I mean what am I going to do? Crochet footballs?
I love my boys. I love, love, love them to the moon and back! I wouldn’t trade them for all the little girls in the world.
But be honest. Just how scarred do you think David would be if I sent him to the first day of school in a pair of ballet flats?
I’m a mom to two boys, too — what is it about boy’s clothes? There just isn’t anything out there! They always have half the selection as girls do.
IF there is ever a third baby — I’d still want another boy, though! 😉
OMG I could have written this post! Actually I have a similar post sitting in my drafts folder…maybe its time to publish it 🙂 I agree shopping for boys is NOT fun at all. When I go shopping I wind up staring at the cute frilly clothes a few aisles over. The other day I broke down and bought my son Iron Man blinkie shoes. I really don’t like them but then I kicked myself in reality and saw how excited he was….all of my friends around me are dressing their girls in fun clothes and I am so envious!
Well, having three boys, I totally know what you mean. Might be part of why I like winter so much. Boys get to wear cute beanies and it makes shopping so much more fun! 🙂
I am honestly glad that I don’t have to deal with the girly stuff. Besides, it will get a lot more expensive than our boys pretty soon!

As I am seasoned on shopping for both boys and girls, I seriously prefer shopping for the boys. My problem is, when I get into the girl section I go all wonky and start pulling everything off the racks and spending hours looking at all the pretty stuff. It’s hard for me to limit myself so I take more time to pick and choose than I do actually buying the stuff. It’s tedious and unnerving. I always end up regretting buying what I did and not getting “that one thing.” And of course spending WAY too much money on the girly stuff. But…It is kinda fun. That might be the problem…Hmmm.
Boys? T-shirts, jeans/shorts, shoes. DONE.
I so know what you mean! It would be so fun to dress up someone in pink frilly dresses! I mean, Hunter has all those curls, sometimes people mistake him for a girl anyway. I could probably get away with dressing him as a girl, right?
