God loves #2 a lot. (OK, OK, God loves all of us a lot. John 3:16 and all that.) After going through clothes, clothes, clothes today, her "Need for Winter List" was exactly this: 3 pair jeans. One sweater, pink or white. Hmmm, what's that large box that says "Kitchen Trash Bags" doing in the back of the girls' bedroom closet? Was I really so out of room in the pantry I put a big box in their closet?
Yeah, you guessed it. Three pair of jeans, sized for #2. Three very cute (she would hate to know I wrote that, but they are) long-sleeved tops. One pink sweater.
On the other hand, #1 has exactly this many clothes for the winter: all the unders she needs. One shirt. Yeah, one shirt is it. Gloryana. Is she complaining? Envious of her sister? Nope, she's here next to me studying a butterfly she pinned last week and singing and smiling at life.
#3 needs a couple of shirts for church. Remind me again why boys' clothes are simpler (more solid colors, less to match), cheaper, and easier to find than girls'?
Yes, it's 90 degrees this afternoon. Don't go there, OK?
