Baby Legs

I have to admit that I have an obsession, Baby Legs. There is a baby boutique here in Idaho Falls that carries a lot of stuff you can't find in other stores around town and a lot of stuff locally made just for the shop, likes bows and blessing outfits. They happen to carry Baby Legs. What are Baby Legs you ask? One of the greatest things ever, in my opinion. They are basically leg warmers, for those of you who remember the eighties, but not quite as bulky. They fit from hip to ankle, so like really long socks but without the sock on the bottom. We first got them for Caitlyn. They are so much nicer than tights on Sunday, and great for diaper changes. We put them under pants on cold days in the stroller or in the backpack carrier. I let William pick a pair one day because I had told him that he could have something from the shop the next time we went in and the baby legs were cheaper than the other toys. He insists that they are big boy legs, cause he isn't a baby. He wore them under his costume last Halloween, under pants when sledding, and on his sleeves so he could wear t-shirts in the winter. Brandon has caught onto the craze as well. He picked out a new pair for Caitlyn's birthday, and picked out a pair for the baby to wear home from the hospital, they are easier to deal with than pants. So Brandon figured that William could do with a new pair, so he would have two. I let him pick them out.
So here he is with both pairs. When we got home he had to put shorts on, and the next day this is what he chose to wear. The pair on his arms, the flames, are from last year and the bones are the new pair. I have actually worn the kids' baby legs on my arms when I got cold. Generally when I am already folding laundry and I am to lazy to get a sweatshirt. So I told Mom about the baby legs and she jokingly said that she should get a pair because her lower legs get cold at night in the winter. So when William picked out his I let him pick a pair for Grandma Luke.
Don't they look so nice? William insisted that Grandma's should be exactly like his. So now Mom's legs won't get cold. Caitlyn did get new ones for her birthday, they will serve as tights for this winter and she will of course share with her sister. So hey, check them out. Just Google Baby Legs, or if in Idaho Falls check out Stardust Sweeper on 17th street, stardustsweeper.com.

I'm glad your mom was such a good sport! She was probably happy that she could match her grandson. How cute is that?

I think I will try that out.

MaryBeth!

I have the weirdest story to tell you and Brandon!

Today we invited a couple over for dinner, and we were making conversation. Well come to find out, she is Brandon's cousin. Shannon and Doug Hughes are our neighbors and in our ward! How funny is that. She said she had a cousin in IF would is a "newsperson". I asked, "Who is it?"
"Oh is name is Brandon Isle."
My jaw dropped and I said that I stalked your blog quite regularly. Shannon stalks my blog and I told her that I had a link to her cousin's blog right on mine! She she will be able to keep in touch with you, too!

Hey there! I see Candee beat me to to punch. Small word huh? I am really excited that we figured that out because now I can look at your cute blog! I didn't even know you had one. I guess you are one upping me in the baby department. Congrats! I can't wait to see your new little girl. I guess you don't have a whole lot longer to go.
