I've done really well lately with being ok with the clothes Carter picks out for himself. Unless we're going somewhere important, I send him in to pick out his own shirt, get his socks and underwear, and a shirt. He can put most of it on himself pretty well, too. This particular outfit was chosen and seemed fine for school (even though it was picture day). The shirt is from a stack of "too small, save for Graham" clothes that I'd set aside to store away. He also chose his moose socks and later added a brown zip up sweatshirt with a soccer ball on it.Normally, for picture day I would pick the outfit. However, I didn't care because I wasn't ordering any pictures this time around. Maybe I'm a scrooge, getting old, or I'm just cheap, but I thought the ordering was crazy. They make you buy a class composite for $22 before you can even order some of your own kid. A composite--not even a cute little picture of the class all standing on risers together--just all their individual pictures printed on a sheet together for $22.00. Crazy if you ask me. But, they didn't ask me, so I just didn't order. Guess I'm a cheap-o!
*He still got a picture taken and will appear on the composite that other people ordered :)

i am cracking up!
You are a brave girl! Cale dresses himself, shoes and all, but I pick out everything. Sometimes I wish I could let go and not care, but I'm just not there yet (with any of my boys!). I'll bet Carter looked great in his class pics! I don't order class pics for Connor and Coby as they get the yearbook anyway, but I did order Cale's. However, I think his was $10 or less. $22 is WAY too much. I don't blame you one bit.
