Girls vs. Boys

Ok... so having 2 little nephews, I have been told by my SIL that boys clothes are just not fun... and boy is she right! Oh my goodness, there is just not much to choose from. With girls, you have cutsie stuff.. all sorts of patterns, all sorts of colors... all so adorable! You can really do some damage when purchasing girls clothes thats for sure. So I have been lookin around at little boy clothes and here is what I have concluded: Boys have themes. Sports being the ultimate, fishing, trucks, cars etc, bugs, and dogs... or animals, and not as much as you see of all the others, you see cowboy stuff, police and fireman stuff. Not a whole lot of cute patterns or colors. Blue, green, red. So here are my thoughts. A.) Nat nor I are not into sports... so why would I dress my boy in sports stuff?? (am I totally dumb for thinking this!?!? I cant really help it) ... but Nat's just not a sportsy type guy. B.)Fishin, yes, were fishin kinda people so we can do that. C.) Trucks, check... Nat is a truck kinda guy. D.)Dogs and animals... ok, we can do that. E.) Cowboy (western) stuff, get it!! I know that thats the ultimate choice for both of us, but you can't hardly find it, without paying an arm and a leg for it anyways... so I'm just kinda like saddened by this boy business... not much to choose from if you don't choose sports.

Seriously... you people with boys tell me if were absolutely nuts for thinkin this way???

Ok, so maybe I'm a little to picky. But, like I'm not gonna dress my girls in ballerina stuff unless I was into ballet. If they want to one day, of course, we'll wear ballerina stuff... and if my boy one day is the point guard on his basketball team, you betcha we'll get into sportsy stuff.

Oh what a delima in life. Yesterday, I went to the JBF sale and was rummaging through the little boy clothes stealing up any "theme" Nat and I would want our son to wear.... then I walk over to the girl stuff and my oh my, all the colors, the beautiful pinks and purples, oranges and yellows. The racks were filled with girl stuff! I put everything girly back with the intentions of going back tomorrow to the half price sale, specifically for shopping for my girls. That won't be hard I can tell you that.

Oh Lord... did I really just write a whole long post about this... really, is is that important?? I should just be thankful my boy will have clothes to wear. :P

and don't get me wrong, I am eternally greatful for the hand me downs we have already gotten... and yes, he'll wear them, all of them... even the sports ones.

On a more serious note, we kinda had a little scare this morning with the little guy and I'm not quite sure that I can say were outta the woods yet. So please pray for him and his growth, and well being as he continues to grow for the weeks to come. Pray for me as I gotta slow my life down to a minimum... which is hard when you got 2 kids to take care of... and of course Nat as he's kinda gonna be fillin in moms shoes for a bit. We would greatly appreciate it! We've seen Gods work many a times in our life and we know He is watchin out for us right now.
