When I take pictures of my kids for my blog, especially for Small Style, I like to pick out their outfits. The boys will let me help them a tiny bit, at least Judah does, but their clothes are mostly all tennis shoes, jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies. At the very least I like to pick out Finley's outfit and have her hair done. On this day the boys got themselves ready and Finley and Eric picked her outfit out. Eric bought her this coat. It didn't have buttons on it and he got tired of waiting for me to sew them on, so he did it himself. I know, I'm impressed, too. He put it on her, she picked out the skirt, and the rest of the layers they put on for warmth.

These photos were during an impromptu park trip. We were running errands on a side of town that we're not usually on, so we decided to stop and play. The pictures are so sweet, that I had to share them, even if they aren't wearing coordinating, pre-planned outfits. That's real life and, besides, who cares about that? They were happy, smiling, laughing, and having so much fun. I'll take that over a put together wardrobe any day (and you all know how much I love a put together wardrobe).

(Oh, and by the way, that picture of Samuel? Kills me with cuteness! The first two pictures Samuel wasn't mad, he was just being silly and Finley, well, she didn't want to stay still and take photos when there was much playing to be done.)

  1. Well I think a smile and some fun beat a put together outfit any day too. But that coat is seriously adorable and the fact that he bought it AND sewed the buttons on makes it even more special.

  2. Your kids are gorgeous as ever, pre-styled or not (and while I do LOVE your kids all done up, I also love seeing them in their natural habitat). And btw, I'm totally jells of their hair. So thick and gorg!
