Hats For Bats

Here we have Garhett once again wearing a hat! This particular hat actually belongs to his oldest sister Apryl. I can call her the oldest for a little while longer... :) I don't think Apryl has yet had a chance to wear the hat. Garhett saw this hat and was taken by it. He calls it his "cowboy" hat. His dad was not sure if Garhett should be allowed to wear the hat in public, mostly due to the pink accents. But, as you can see, Garhett put up quite a fight and wore his cowboy hat to the zoo the next day! When the kiddos dress up and want to take their look on the road with us it doesn't bother me a bit. Addysen picked out her own outfit yesterday and it was awful! She just simply picked out her favorite pants and her favorite shirt, it didn't matter if they matched. I had to stop myself from bursting her bubble when she came out to show me that she had gotten dressed all by herself. I was happy for her accomplishment. I can also remember Alexys being a very creative dresser. There were a few weeks when she was in love with a pair of mermaid goggles and wouldn't leave the house without them on her face. It was very difficult to talk to her seriously. She would ask me why people were laughing at her, I told her it was because she was so cute. It was crazy to me how she was totally oblivious to the real answer. I guess the tradition of dressing up in their own fashion continues on with her little sister and brothers. I can't forget to add Brendens Mr. Freeze helmet. If you haven't seen him in this helmet it is pretty funny. Brenden wears it like it his job to wear a helmet. It's not even an actual helmet, it's just a clear plastic piece from another toy that happens to fit on his head. Safely of course. He also takes his Mr. Freeze helmet with him all over. I can take the funny looks and smiles the kiddos are not noticing they receive if wearing something different makes them feel good.
