In which I should totally get some free ties

So Easter is a total GIRL thing, you know? Frilly, pink dresses everywhere I see. Lace. Hats. Flowers. It gets annoying.

There ain't much frilly stuff at our house. Or pink, for that matter.

But then I discovered the Matching Tie Guy. And I now know that boys CAN be fun to shop for.

Oh yeah. Ohhhhhhh yeah.



Matching Tie Guy, how I love thee.



My sweet sister took pictures of our matching-ness after church today. The NBC was quite upset that we were delaying his lunch for such a paltry reason as recording something like Easter.

The only time he halfway smiled toward the camera was the only time no one else was.Of course.

And then we started making bunny ears.


And it was all good fun from there.



Three cheers for my sister! She's the best.

I agree, all the pink and frilly and cellophane and hats make me jealous and annoyed.

The pictures are darling!

You're cute. I like the bangs. And that green you're wearing is one of my magic colors -- makes me look good, makes me feel good.

I am morally opposed to some things when it comes to dressing a baby girl: lacy ruffles; ruffly lace; ridiculous hats; anything on the baby's head that is actually larger than said head; shoes that are not flat; any article of clothing that looks like it would be more at home on either a Victorian grandmother, a go-go dancer, a prostitute, or a rock star.

So Laney wore a cute little dress with flowers on it. She had a (small) bow in her hair for about 45 seconds. And little white sandals. But I totally understand about the ties.

Love the ties! I had Guy in two different bow ties from Modish Podish this season and he was so adorable!

Your ties are great! I have 4 girls so I totally love all the frilly dresses everywhere. We usually try to match my husbands tie to our girls dresses. He would love it if we had a boy to match ties with!

Cutest boys ever! 'Cept for mine, of course. :) But thanks for the tip about the ties. I will be using that one!

Elisa said...

I nominate you for a years worth of free ties. Anyone second me?

(adorable photos btw!)

I have a bunch of girls around here, and sadly, no pink or frills for them either. Every year I think, maybe this year I should do matching dresses or just get them a new dress or SOMETHING! But once again... nothing. Matching the boys... eeks, that's really not going to happen!

That's why I'm so IMPRESSED with the matching ties! AMAZING :)
